Braun MultiQuick 5 Hand blender MQ 5200, with plastic beaker

I always use Braun blenders since they last a long time and blend food very well. Its a shame Braun don't sell much of a range in the UK and you have to order the higher spec models from Germany and get delivery with a 2 pin Euro plug with a UK converter. We have been using this product for a few months now and it works flawlessly.

Sturdy and excellent quality. A bit of more of suction power while blades are running would not harm.

Ticks all the boxes for me: - Sturdy, reliable and small. - Doesn't take away much space in the drawer and easy to clean. - Doesn't splash and is comparatively quiet. - Turns frozen fruit and veg, nuts, dried fruit, spices (cumin, pepper), seeds (punmpkin and sunflower seeds), and even pips of raspberries and small bits quickly into smooth purees. Tomatoe skin seems to be a bit of a problem, tho, and hemps seed skins end up in tiny bits. BUT: be careful and don't overdue it! The more water you add, the easier it blends. Best soak nuts and dried fruit beforehand and avoid doing everything in one go. Give it a break now and then, if you use it without or with very little water: Even this Blender can heat up after overextensive use!

I make big batches of curry sauce for freezing, and I bought the blender specifically for this. It converted a large pan (about 2 bucketfuls) of fried onions, tinned tomatoes, spices and water into a smooth consistency in about 2 minutes. I was amazed at the speed of this. It is simple to clean afterwards ; the bottom half can be detached and put in the dishwasher.

Premium stick blender. Prefer the Germans 'stab mixer'. Does mayonnaise in 2 minutes and is really very good at the chopping stuff. English plug. Good cable length. Easy to clean and looks spiffing on the shelf-wall hanger not included, which is a shame. Good bit of kit.

Looked like a good device - unfortunately mine didn't work! Couldn't operate boost function and motor cut out as the blender was moved. No problems from Amazon though - delivered (and returned) exactly as specified.

They market it as being "anti-splash". However, it has two whisking modes - both of which operate at very fast speeds. I don't understand why they didn't design one of these modes for slow whisking. Flour and liquid can spread over the bowl due to the speed of the blades, so choose your mixing bowl carefully. Apart from that, it feels solid in the hand and blends well.

I purchased this Braun MQ500 hand blender in June 2015 to replace an earlier model that got mislaid in a move, but after a couple of months of pureeing soft fruits or vegetable soups it stopped working, so I'm not a happy bunny. I don't even know if it comes with a warranty.............does anyone elso know? Mo

Good 220V blender. I wanted to use it in India. Working very well. Satisfied.

So far, so good! Braun has always been a great German brand even though they have been bought by P&G in recent years... I decided to give this blender a try because, well, nothing else seems to work! All the other (cheap) brands seem to be designed to stop working after just a few months; some are downright hazardous to operate. I'm looking for something that'll last me a few years. This blender feels sturdy and well made. It is quiet and super easy to clean, too. You will need an adapter, though - should only cost you a few bucks. I'm giving fours stars because I don't particularly care for the design - gray on white, meh.

Perfect Item. Usefull
