Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Meet practically every kitchen need with this multipurpose handheld blender: crush ice, purée 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
Product Description
A food processor, a hand mixer, and a blender all rolled into one! There isn't much this baby can't do, with all the attachments and 400 watts of power. The beauty of hand blenders is their ability to go where they're needed, like say to a pot of soup that needs to be pureed into a creamy bisque. The metal shaft and ice crushing capablilities set this stick blender apart from the crowd.

A New Generation of Blenders,
By
This review is from: Braun MR5550MBC-HC Multiquick Professional Hand Blender (Kitchen)
When my former Braun MR430HC/AC Hand Blender & Chopper died something died with it in me. Then I discovered this upgraded model. This new blender & chopper combination not only performs all tasks you may expect from a blender, it outperforms all other models I have ever used. Powerful 400 Watt allow you to chop even hard ingredients like nuts, coffee beans, and carrots easily. It comes even better: a variable speed regulator at the top of the unit enables you to customize the power for 5 different speeds. After all chopping parmesan and whisking eggs for your omelette is not the same! And for really really tough nuts turn on the turbo speed. The metal blender shaft does not seem to melt down now when I use it in my hot steaming soup-to-be. It also does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan anymore because this genius shaft has spaces at the bottom for the liquid to escape (compared to my former blenders). You do not have to clean your soup from the walls anymore since less splash is a welcome effect. Also, you have a choice between a small chopper, which I use especially for herbs, and a larger one, both with their own blades. Perfect recipe: Crush some ice in the large chopper, add right into to it a couple of strawberries, milk, and a hint of cinnamon. Then enjoy! Do not worry if you have leftovers, both choppers and the measuring beaker come with a lid for storage. Last but not least, I love displaying my time savvy little friend on the wall mount in my kitchen. It not only is placed handy there but I had people tell me it has a retro chique touch. Well, you can definetely argue about that but not about the functionality of this item. An investment worth every penny.

Worth Every Cent!,

This review is from: Braun MR5550MBC-HC Multiquick Professional Hand Blender (Kitchen)
I had a twelve year old hand blender from another company that just broke one of my favorite blades. The company is no longer around so I just couldn't buy a new blade for it. I waited a month to see if I could do without having one and found I could not. I was tired of putting my soups and spinach in my big blender (which did not do the best job) and cleaning up all the mess afterwards.I also needed a new coffee pot so while I was online at Amazon.com looking at the Braun coffee pots, I looked at the Braun MR5550 MBC-HC and read the reviews. According to the reviews, this was Braun's best out of two hand blenders they carried. I mostly use it to puree soups, cream spinach and to mix sauces and gravies. It's so much easier to just put the hand blender right in the pot and use it then to try to put everything in a traditional blender. Clean up is a lot easier too. The motor is very powerful too. One day I used the wrong frozen spinach which had about 25% stems in it. The hand blender creamed the spinach and the stems to a perfect consistency in about one minute. I have not had the chance to use the other attachments with it, but even without all the attachments, the blender by itself is worth the money. I hope this review helps you! Flo

Best Design Ever,
By
This review is from: Braun MR5550MBC-HC Multiquick Professional Hand Blender (Kitchen)
Our old stick blender died and though I didn't use it very often, it was indispensible for certain tasks such as smoothing tomato sauces. When I went searching for a replacement, I was lucky enough to find and choose this one.Now I'm using it every single day because the interchangable design makes it so easy to clean. The motor stays dry and plugged into the wall while the business end detaches and goes to the sink for a quick and easy rinse. No fumbling with the cord. No gymnastics at the sink with a stick that's too long to get under the faucet. No worrying about getting the wrong parts wet. No tomato stains on white plastic - this wand is stainless steel. Ten seconds and it's done and ready to go again. Contrast this with my traditional Kitchen-Aid blender which has a 3-part lid, glass body, 2 rubber gaskets, a plastic base, and the blender teeth to clean. It's no contest. In addition, the shape of the wand head does effectively cut down on the spalshing. When it's running there is a strong suction effect which holds it down to the bottom of the container you are mixing in. Is it perfect? No. The head at the end of the wand is a little too broad for many containers. I doubt I'll ever have use for the ice crusher. The anti-splash design does sometimes prevent the full quantity of food from cycling through, so you need to either tilt it slightly or simply move it around instead of leaving it in one spot. The metal wand might cause scratches in non-stick cookware if not used gingerly. Some of the attachments collect water if you try to clean them in the dishwasher. But these complaints are nitpicky. It does its core job very well. The bottom line is that here is an appliance that doesn't cause you more work in cleaning than it saves you in doing its job. It's a joy to be able to mix up a mocha malt frappuccino in under a minute, not have to pay $tarbuck$ an arm and a leg for it, and have the blender clean before you even start to drink it. On that basis alone, it has almost paid for itself already.
