BraunMQ5000 Hand Blender Multiquick Vario, MQ5000, Black

The media could not be loaded. What an amazing machine. This emulsifier has a wonderful high-quality, feel solid function and performs flawlessly. I didn’t need an emulsifier with attachments that I can break and lose and just clutter up The kitchen. This Braun Emulsifier makes quick work of your food creations. Unique design of the housing around the blade ensures it does not splatter. Very easy to clean with an easily removable attachment. I love the easy to use buttons and nice grip. Nothing awkward about this. I wish I purchased it sooner.

Great little machine. It doesn't take much room and does a lot. I love the fact that you can regulate the speed. This is unusual for a hand held.

I bought a "used—very good" one, and while it came with a broken piece I could not use, the part and function I needed specifically in this blender worked perfectly. I love it. I used it to mix protein shakes in the provided cup, and it introduces no air and quickly blends and smooths anything I put in the cup. Did I mention I love this?

Like a lot of people, I bought this because the NYT Wirecutter recommended it as the best immersion blender out there.I like that it has variable speeds, and quick access to full power with a separate button so you don't need to try to turn the speed dial while it is running. It is a very ergonomic design, easy to hold and control, and it seems to have plenty of power.I decided that ultimately, I like that the little hood that covers the blade doesn't have any gaps or holes in it. To be clear, that design choice is somewhat of a mixed bag. Some other immersion blenders have gaps or perforations in the hood to help circulate the material better, but at greater risk of splashing. The main downside of this closed hood design is when you want to whip air into eggs or whatever, it requires pulling the head almost entirely out of what you are mixing, repeatedly. Not a big deal, and I think that, overall, it is more important to keep stuff from splashing vs. the incremental benefits of slots in the hood, but it is a noticeable change from how my last hand blender worked.Cleaning it is easy. I hand wash the beater but the instructions say you can theoretically throw it in the dishwasher.I bought the basic one without all the attachments. I also bought a separate, metal milkshake cup, which I use with this constantly for everything, not just milkshakes. They give you a thin, plastic mixing cup, but I learned the hard way that even very solid glassware is really not up for being used with a hand blender. You can get away with it for a while, but it puts absurd stress on the glass. So I don't expect the thin plastic cup to fare much better. Do yourself a favor and get a metal milkshake cup to use with this if you don't already have one, they are cheap, oversized, indestructible and make using a hand blender so much easier.

Quality seems to be fairly good, blended what I needed it for was good, no smell in the motor or other items included.

Blender power is exactly as I need it, it is very functional/ easy to use. It is also easy to wash. I would recommend purchasing this product

Great kitchen tool. I've used it on the stove to blend cooked veggies into a warm gravy to serve over meat, rice and potatoes. Really whips up meringue for desserts. Not as noisy as I though and has plenty of power. Good value for the money.

Powerful hand held mixer. Loved the quality of Braun. I recommended it. The only thing is the size. You want something for adults, buy al bigger size
