Braun MQ9137XI MultiQuick 9 Hand Blender with Imode Technology

Bought for sister and she was thrilled with this gift. Has all the bells and whistles she needs in the kitchen!

Good

I was looking for a way to plastic-free my blending, and this + a 1l tall Weck jar was the ticket. The wand fits perfectly inside with room to move, but can still blend the entire contents in a column. This might have a small bushing/seal or something still behind the blade (I can't see it too well) but that's the smallest amount of plastic in any blending solution that I have been able to find. As far as I'm aware, the blender is also lead-free per Tamara Rubin's testing.I stand the motor and the main blending wand up on a small tray so they take up minimal counter space. It has plenty of power to blend my morning shakes, easily pulverizing the cacao nibs I add. The wand and whisk are super easy to clean as well.The whisk is nice too. It connects to a plastic-geared housing, so it seems light duty. But for eggs it works.The only downside is that it comes with all these other accessories that I don't really need. I have no real interest in using the food processor or potato masher attachments as they're excessive amounts of plastic. But I suppose it's handy to have just in case?

Hey, so I recently got the MultiQuick 9 Hand Blender and I’m really impressed! I used to have an old Cuisinart immersion blender that was just single-speed and didn’t come with any attachments. Plus, I hated having to haul out my big 14-cup food processor just for small tasks like making hummus. This new hand blender has been a game-changer. It’s great for chopping onions, mincing garlic, and the multiple speeds are perfect for soups and pasta sauces. I was about to get another Cuisinart, but the reviews for that one weren’t great. Glad I went with this Braun instead!

Overall this is product is good and has replaced few of the bulky items in my kitchen like the vitamix. After almost 6 months of using here is what I think:First and most importantly, I don't understand why this product is sold at a much higher wattage in Europe than it is in the US. This would've been a perfect product if I can get the same 1200 watts available elsewhere,Blending soup feels clunkier than other hand mixers. I had a kitchenaid before and felt this process was easier and faster,cutting through ice is very easy and it makes good shaved ice. The fact that it is dishwasher safe is a plus.I don't understand the point behind the potato masher, to me this was a waste and I could've done without.Accessories are not sold separately. I am not sure what to do when the blade I am using now goes dull. Additionally, I wanted to buy other accessories like the food processor attachment because I was so impressed with the product, but I was not able to find it, although it seems that it used to be sold independently before, so I wonder if the product is being discontinued.I definitely recommend the product but I would definitely look into whether or not Braun wants to continue to sell it before making the investment,

Amazing and powerful hand blender. Easy to control and relatively low noise for the power it provides.

Great for the price

We have tried several other brands of immersion blenders over the past few years. This immersion blender makes them all seem like cheap toys in comparison! The Braun hand blender is rugged and powerful! Yes, it does cost more, but the way we were burning through the cheaper ones (even name brands) was not cheap either. My husband prefers homemade mayonnaise, and this blender makes the perfect batch in no time! We have also had perfect results with blended soups and sauces, Mostly we have used the regular blender attachment, but have also been experimenting with the other attachments and are finding new reasons to love this immersion blender every day! I already have a Braun food processor, and am impressed by the power and versatility of their products. They are well-designed and feel like they will last a long time.
