Mixing - The two speed operation is handy. For making soups, you can do most of the job on low speed, even with chunky vegetables. This makes it easier to control how thick the final product is, and it makes for less possibility of splash-ups. The switch feel is sure (good tactile feel). The blade is stocky and sharp - it looks like it's built for business. I blended a large pot of tomato black bean garlic soup down in under 30 seconds.
Motor - Plenty of power. It's quiet compared to my last blender (especially on low), which was 3x the price. I cannot comment on durability yet, as this is a new model.
Size/weight/feel - Hefty, but not heavy. It has a quality feel with a nice balance. If it were too light, it would feel cheap.
Cord - Long enough to get the job done, but not too long to make wrapping up the cord a hassle.
Assembly/Cleaning - Easy to attach/detach. The lock-up feels solid. So far, there's little mechanical play in the interface. It's very easy to clean by hand if you don't wait for it to dry up.
I've grown to like Cuisinart products. It looks like they have a winner here.
4/10/2013 update - I've had this for several months now, and I can say the concern about the plastic gear on the prior version does not appear to be an issue on this design. I've used it dozens of times and there is not a hint of wear. Bumping to 5 stars. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools.
11/17/2013 update - Still going strong. This is my single favorite kitchen tool, and I have lots of them. It's the best combination of usefulness and fun factor. So nice not to have to drag out the food processor for so many tasks any more. I just made a super creamy hummus (in the can, no less) in under five minutes. Fast, yummy, inexpensive and so easy to clean up afterwards.
2/4/16 update - This is my *favorite* kitchen gadget ever. My latest 'discovery' is you can make a fool proof mayo with this puppy. I will use this till it dies (some day), then I will buy another one just like it.
3/3/2016 update - well that's the end. After three years of regular use, it's time to get a new one. Very high gear noise, and I'd give it another month tops before it destroys itself. If this is the current model, I will gladly get a replacement.

Great Blender, just wish it had a base.
Cuisinart makes a great quality product which is why I chose this handheld blender over the others. It didn't let me down. It is simple to use, sturdy, even the measuring cup that comes with it is extremely durable. Only thing I wish it had was some sort of base that you can stand it upright on as you don't want to stand it up on the part that blends on your counter so it was hard to use and then set aside while cooking. You had to lay it down on a paper towel or cutting mat. Other than that, it is not small so it is hard to store in your cupboard. You have to either lay it down to make it fit in your cupboard OR there is a black button on the back of the blender that when it is pressed the blender separates into two parts which is easy to store that way in your cupboard. For simple uses like blending eggs, etc. it would be great if there was one half the size as you don't need the full size to do that. I have no problems using this mixing eggs, etc. but when I tried to mix a pancake batter it was a little more difficult as I was blending 1 cup of pancake mix and 3/4 cup of water so it was thick at first, BUT the handheld blender did mix it very well. You have two settings only Low and High. You have to keep the button pressed down while mixing, it is not a turn on and turn off type of blender, I would have preferred that as while mixing the pancake mix it was hard to keep my finger on the button and mix.The measuring cup has a pouring spout which I love and makes it easy to pour the mixture, in this case on the grill to make pancakes.
