Meet practically every kitchen need with this multipurpose handheld blender: crush ice, pur�e soups, blend smoothies, chop onions without tears, mince herbs and spices, beat egg whites, whip cream, mash potatoes, and more. The powerful 400-watt, 5-speed motor comes with a variety of blades and attachments, including a whisk and measuring beaker with airtight lid. A turbo switch is especially helpful for chopping hard foods, such as chocolate, nuts, and Parmesan cheese. All parts are made of either stainless steel or durable plastic and, except for the motor and the gear box, are dishwasher-safe. The helpful instruction booklet illustrates various combinations of parts. The blender is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

My favorite small kitchen appliance July 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have had my Braun Multiquick for 5-6 years now, and it's still my go-to gadget. I haven't bothered buying a standalone blender or food processor because this does the job of both without taking up nearly the space. The two chopper bowls are excellent for chopping nuts, onions, etc, or for whirring up a quick pesto or salsa. The ice chopper is great for frozen drinks. Of course, the standard blender stick can't be beat for milkshakes. And your shake doesn't melt while your busy washing a big bulky blender pitcher; you can just quickly rinse the stick and enjoy your shake. I'm not sure that I've used the whisk attachment since an old-fashioned whisk is just as easy. If I were beating egg whites I might try it, but I'd probably use my KitchenAid stand mixer anyway since I'd likely be using it for the rest of a recipe anyway. I also wouldn't recommend this for heavy doughs.

Broken and disposable July 25, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

I had less than one year's use with this product and it broke - and I mean light use. It broke when I was was grinding parmesan cheese. It's obviously a disposable item, as i can't find a source to fix it. And I paid $20 more than it is being offerd for now. I'm going back to more manual ways of doing things.

Quality July 4, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

400 watt--good power--shouldn't burn out. Quality modern white design. Beautiful. Would make a nice gift. Cord is long length. Comes with mount for wall--keeps your blender within easy reach. Manual advises not good for batters thicker than pancake batter. Comes with whip attachment--can beat 4 egg whites at a time. This package (there are others available with less attachments) comes with 2 chopping containers (large and small). Large one has a removable ice crusher attachment. Both containers have no-skid bases which are removeable to use for lids! Also comes with a measuring container with a lid--recipes/drinks/smoothies can be mixed directly in this. Altogether, you get4 blades--one on the immersion wand, one for the small chopper, one for the large chopper, and then the ice crusher blade. There are 12 speeds with an additional turbo speed for the ice crushing and power pulses. Most pieces go in dishwasher (not the motor or the white piece above the whip)--all else dishwasher safe. Love it. If you don't get this one, just be sure to get one with at least 400 watts power. But get this one--you'll love it.

Reviews entered are accurate and worth reading January 23, 2008

My purchase for this product was determined by the reviews on this site. The product is entirely a great buy and versatile blender. It can do many different speeds and strengths, entirely adjustable. The only thing I didn't like was the unsightly, weird, silly plastic wall holder for this appliance. It just a sleeve and some kind of loop to maybe hold the cord in?
It would be nice to have a holder that is a little more attractive for hanging on the kitchen wall as well as holding all the basic attachments that come with it. This is a good buy and I would definitely purchase another whenever a replacement might be needed.

A GREAT Kitchen Tool July 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I honestly can't remember what I did before I bought this blender other than spend wayyyyyyyyy too much time using my food processor for soups, tomato sauce, etc. Now, it's so easy, so quick to use the hand blender and have the job done in literally two minutes. No more tranferring and having more bowl cleanups! It has so many functions that it's an "at hand" tool to be used almost daily.
