If your Cuisinart is anything like my Braun, then yes, you are doomed to 
forever cleaning it by hand. HOWEVER, if you immediately clean it after 
using it, it pretty much rinses clean. I have one of those huge plastic 
cups that I fill half-full with hot water and a drop or two of detergent 
and then immerse the blender and run it for a few pulses to clean it, and 
it works pretty well. It's the same idea as running hot water and soap in 
your regular blender to clean it, really.
