I love this handblender and use it daily. It's easy to hold, easy to operate and makes quick work of fruit and yogurt smoothies,ice cream treats, emulsifying salad dressings, etc. without splattering. The motor has plenty of power for everything I've attempted so far. When used with the food chopper bowl it's quiet and efficient, and you can empty the contents of the bowl without first removing the chopper blade . The parts wash easily, especially the stainless steel blender shaft,and several of the parts can be put in the dishwasher. I haven't tried the whip yet.

We love the intercghangeable parts of this mixer. We have found ourselves using it WAY more than our old one that didn't have them. The quality of the construction seems really great too.

This hand blender is a great design that is safe even when used with non-stick pots! Clean up is a breeze with the dishwasher safe,detachable blender shaft. With the coming cold weather, I look forward to making lots of soups that I'd avoided in the past because I hated pouring the soup into the blender.

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Plenty of power. Easy to store. I really like this machine.

I am trying to cut down on appliances in kitchen and have found the Braun MultiQuick Hand Blender 'handy' for every-day cooking projects from making salad dressings, including fresh mayonaise, to beating egg whites or whipping cream. The immersible blender feature is especially handy for pureeing soups in the pot.
I have used other brands that weren't sealed or fitted as well around the blades, where food would be sucked up into the housing of the blender.

I was looking for something more powerful than the weak & pitiful as-seen-on-tv drink blender that I was using for protein drinks in the morning. This Braun handblender is exactly what I was looking for. This morning I made a protein drink with banana and yogurt, and all of it was blended in seconds, even down to the sometimes hard-to-mix protein powder. This thing is really powerful, and is a little startling because of this at 1st when you're blending in the plastic cylinder that comes with it. If you get it too close to the bottom, it "sucks up" the cylinder so you have to hold onto it. It's not necessary to get it that close to the bottom to blend your drink well, I found out! I haven't used it for frozen berries, but I anticpate that it will do well. And I haven't used the whisk yet, but I plan to for scrambled eggs--the cylinder that comes with it is the perfect size for whisking up eggs. I can't wait to use it for other things, and for nice, cold milkshakes next summer!

I've been using this wonder machine almost every day since I bought it, and I wanted to add that it is absolutely wonderful with frozen berries & fruit...something I hadn't tried when I 1st entered this review. I used it recently for mashed potatoes and processed them right in the bowl I served them in. I'm in love, and I'm buying several of these for Christmas presents!

Great design with power. Bulky but it works great so far.
I bought for my 5 months old baby food.

i love my new hand-held blender! it whips up whipped cream in no time, purees soups and sauces way better and faster than my food processor, and with no mess! don't have to deal with lugging out the food processor and cleaning the various pieces - only the shaft has to be rinsed off. haven't used the mini-chopper yet, though, but i'm sure i'll find it some years down the road in a cabinet somewhere. i get plenty of use out of the blender and whisk - basically any excuse to use it i will! my little bro thinks it's fun to use, too.

This blender whips up a smoothy in no time at all. It's very powerful and easy to use. All parts are excellent quality. I highly recommend.

I love this item; I use it all the time. I have bought three for gifts because I wanted my friends to enjoy the convenience as well.
