Product Information

The world’s first ActiveBlade technology incorporates a flexible shaft that moves the blade up and down resulting in 2x finer blending. The SPLASHControl feature helps prevents splatters, making messy worktops a thing of the past, and an extra milling blade allows for finer blending with no unwanted large pieces left behind. The Braun makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for silky soups with broccoli or kale. We are committed to offering the best value to our members, with a satisfaction guarantee on both your membership and merchandise. XL Food Processor Attachment, 500ml Chopper Attachment, 600ml BPA Free Beaker, Purée / Masher, Stainless Steel Whisk and Ice Blade.

And with the new imode Technology you can choose between 3 speed modes: pulse, low and high speed to customise your blending power into practical speed ranges for different tasks. Milkshakes, meringues, soups and smoothies are the obvious starting point when it comes to making the most of your blender, but some models – like this Braun model – can also be used for much more.

I found your page very helpful but will take you up on your offer of further advice re brands and models as I have no preference.

Too much ice or solely frozen ingredients like fruits and avocado mean that you’ll have to keep helping it out manually, but for most smoothies or cocktails this won’t be a problem.The motor is still performing like new but the mashed product just doesn’t seem as smooth/fine as when it was it fresh out the box, hence why I suspect the blade is not as sharp as before. It has a pilot light and safety button on the top of the blender body, and a smart speed switch on the side. The XL food processor and mini chopper included in the multiquick accessories are probably the attachments you’ll use most after the hand blender, and we found these items worked well.

Includes; 500ml Chopper Attachment, Coffee/Spice grinder, 600ml Beaker, Stainless Steel Whisk and Ice Blade, allowing you to get creative in the kitchen. Speed settings are not predefined, therefore you can select all speeds intuitively and receive the result you want - with the simple squeeze of one button.The real benefit of the multiquick is its versatility: this is one of the only hand blenders to boast ice crushing. The Braun is much sturdier and makes smoother blends with fibrous ingredients like kale, so it's a better choice if you make a lot of soups or smoothies. Millie loves to bake, so she will take any excuse to review stand mixers and other baking essentials.

We used the mini chopper to make various pastes with no problem at all (even with mixed textures like soft herbs and tough lemongrass), and harder ingredients like carrot and soft meats were dealt with well too. However, we did find that this immersion blender was by far the noisiest of those we tested, reaching 89dB. However, we then had a eureka moment and asked if this new, better ACTIVEblade technology would mean that we didn’t need the extra jug if the MQ 9 series blender leg would tackle the tougher job of blending ice anyway ! The flagship of our leading range of hand blenders is the best kitchen helper - even for the hardest jobs. Its 'Active Blade' feature allows you to push down on the blending arm and have the blades extend down.It also came second in our soup test, so if you don't want all the extras, that's the one we'd suggest. However Bamix is a little more commercial – a bit of a chef´s tool, in that you have to pull the blades off and that can take come pulling sometimes. Featuring the world’s first ACTIVEBlade technology – the Braun MultiQuick 9 is the best hand blender for the hardest jobs. The mini chopper with the Braun MultiQuick 9 was also the largest of the three, with an optional dough blade that can be used instead of the chopping blades we used for the dip.
