The Braun Multiquick Professional Hand Blender is a versatile and efficient tool for light mixing, chopping, blending and pureeing. This unit comes with an 8-inch slim motor handle, blender shaft, whisk attachment, measuring beaker with airtight lid, 40-ounce clear chopper, ice-crushing insert for chopper and handy wall mount bracket. The power handle has two touch-and-release buttons mounted on a soft-grip panel. The top button activates the motor on variable speed and the bottom button initiates the blender's turbo speed. A separate dial regulator lets you adjust the five speeds from low to high.

The blender's 400 watts of power are more than a match for most tasks. Choosing the right attachment for each task is the key. For whipping cream or egg whites, the whisk does an excellent job -- incorporating air into the mixture for a light, fluffy effect. When pureeing cooked vegetables, or preparing dips, sauces or other soft-textured foods, the standard blender shaft provides consistent results. Mixing anything with semi-solid ingredients should be done in the large enclosed chopper bowl to prevent particles from flying out of the bowl. Note: The chopper is not designed to handle extremely hard foods, such as coffee beans, but it can crush ice with a special insert.

The hand blender's long, thin design makes it ideal for reaching into deep containers, including the supplied beaker. When the blender shaft is submersed the blade creates a vortex motion, pulling ingredients into its path. The addition of the chopping bowl expands the unit's functionality so you can process meat, cheese, raw vegetables and more. Before chopping, food must be cut into small pieces to fit inside the chopper bowl. To obtain the best results you should not crowd the bowl. An on/off pulse action of pressing and releasing the power button for 1-second intervals produces even results.


Pros: Whisk does excellent job, turbo speed, consistent results
Cons: Not designed to handle extremely hard foods
