Braun Multiquick 5 MR 550

First one lasted for 3 years and was a great tool for the kitchen. Bought the same model and it stopped working right after it was out of it's in the box warranty (3 months into usage)! Manufacturing must have changed. If it works it's great... get the extra long warranty. When we opened it up to repair it it became evident the board was no good and it is designed so you CAN'T easily repair it.

I bought mine 11 years ago, initially for baby food and it is still going strong. I have also used it for smoothies (including crushing ice), whipping, hiding many many vegetables ;-), and even have made small batches of gingerbread in it (probably not supposed to!). It is amazing how finely it can process food. I have loved it, and will definitely buy another when it finally dies.

Identical multiquick "sunbeam" 5 function for price[under $90.00 & snap coupling features: whisk, blend, cut fruit veges, smoothies, mashing [pumpkin for soup] large pot 6l [although cord appliance]
Not cordless like a "braun model".
Still service friendly, multiple speed control, ease cleaning no "nasty bacteria" collecting areas left uncleaned, mentioned in some other model.

Food preparation cannot be left to "ecoli" & other forms bacteria,
Due to design "blender attachments" not being hygienically clean.

We dont use "dish washer" [old school] but hot water/soap,good personal scrub, and "inspection for bits pumpkin etc".

Reliable inexpensive[compared to our "swiss ba-mix"]

There seem to be a couple of different models represented here. My Braun Multiquick is the one that comes with one small plastic blending container (no handle), one stainless steel blending wand and one whisking attachment.
I have owned the Multiquick for 8 years now and it still works perfectly. The only wear that shows is that the plastic on the blending container is not as transparent as when I bought it; it's a bit cloudy and knocked about from 8 years of blending. Being very fussy about plastics, I've stopped using the blending containe...

I was looking for a good hand blender for many months, even tried Magic Bullet which broke pretty soon.
I had heard the quality n life of Braun products are good so I kept looking for the perfect kitchen companion.
I needed something to handle quantities as well as large when needed, n can make milkshakes, handle frozen berries.

So I finalized to buy Braun MR550 Aperitive since it has large and small jars, crush ice for summers n make purie, soups n milkshakes. It's been 6 months n I'm very apply with it.
Everything...
Chopping wasn't as perfect as I thought
