5 out of 5 stars Great multi-tasker   July 19, 2008
Dayna A. Hudgin (Nashville, tn)
I bought this because it was a powerful immersion blender. I already have a food processor and whisk beater so didn't expect to even use those features. I have used all of them a ton. The blender works just as it should- very powerful. The chopper works great and is so easy to pull out for little jobs like chopping one shallot or some herbs. The extras that come with it are great too. I whole heartedly recommend this product- easy to use, easy to clean, does a great job!


1 out of 5 stars Loved it until the motor gave up   June 28, 2008

I owned this little blender for 8 months and LOVED it, until I mashed cooked potatoes today and the motor blew out of the blue. There was no warning of overheating, straining on the motor etc. just a plop sound and the thing is broken. After having it loved for 8 months I am hugely disappointed and would not buy it again

This stick blender is fantastic. This is my 3rd stick blender. The first three did fine, but since the shaft was made of plastic, tomato sauces and other cooking liquids started to stain the plastic a little and tougher items started to nick the plastic...giving the blenders a "seen its best days" look. I got this one for the durability of the metal shaft, which is easy to clean and well functionning. I love the turbo function which "kicks it up a notch" instantly. Fun, convenient, durable. Can't go wrong with a stick blender and esp. this one.


1 out of 5 stars I got the bad egg   April 3, 2008

My boss had one of these that he let me borrow for a culinary competition. I have used many hand held blenders to include the cuisinart and kitchenaid versions which I own, but this blows them away. It is the only mini blender that I've seen that will actually fully puree carrots into a nice cohesive sauce (with the food processor attachment. The other brands left tiny granular chunks in it. I was actually quite impressed with the set and looking to buy one for myself until about the fourth time using it when the plastic above the blade attachment melted to the shaft of the food processor unit, transforming it into a piece of useless junk. He hadn't used it more than a dozen times, so wear and tear should not have been an issue. Regardless, I had to buy him a new one, and I therefore will never trust anything from Braun again despite the fact that this was clearly a fluke. I don't know if this has happened to anyone else with this product, but I'm not willing to take my chances.


5 out of 5 stars Braun Immersion "blender"   February 10, 2008

This is much more of a food processor than a blender. The processing for pesto and soups takes a fraction of the time used by my old food processor, and it's much easier to clean. But I still haven't figured out how not to make a mess when using the whisk on liquids! It's a mighty powerful unit.
