BraunMQ5000 Hand Blender Multiquick Vario, MQ5000, Black

Bought this during a deal, probably would not pay full listed price but I am pleased with this stick blender so far.I have not tried to blend anything difficult, just hot chocolate. After switching to a non-powdered chocolate, I would always have a large amount of it that would not mix in to the hot milk no matter how much I stirred. I did not have a stick blender before and trying to blend hot milk in my usual blender seemed like overkill. Obviously getting a stick blender for this very important task is necessary, decided on this one, and have been pleased with it. I cannot turn on the actual mix setting without the power of the blender causing some of the cocoa to splurt out of my oversized mug but doing pulses with the "Turbo" setting works perfectly.The motor seems sturdy, as does the connection part which seems like the most likely failure point for these things. I just have the standard blender attachment, maybe my chocolate would get more frothy with the whisk but I have been happy with just having it mix completely.Also, I could not find anywhere on the box or instruction where the county of manufacture is. Alot of "Designed in Germany" or whatever but nothing about where it was actually made, I consider this dishonest.

Purchased for making Body Lotion for my small business. Very powerful. Great value for money.

I bought a "used—very good" one, and while it came with a broken piece I could not use, the part and function I needed specifically in this blender worked perfectly. I love it. I used it to mix protein shakes in the provided cup, and it introduces no air and quickly blends and smooths anything I put in the cup. Did I mention I love this?

Really like the quality and functionality of this product—it’s well-made and works great. The only thing I’d change is the size of the bowl; it’s a bit small for my needs. If it were larger, it would be perfect!

Helps me every day without problem.

Powerful hand held mixer. Loved the quality of Braun. I recommended it. The only thing is the size. You want something for adults, buy al bigger size

Quality seems to be fairly good, blended what I needed it for was good, no smell in the motor or other items included.

After reading many of the reviews and much internal debate as to whether I really needed a new immersion blender, I went ahead and treated myself. And am so glad I did! This model replaced a 20+ year old Braun immersion blender and it is such an updgrade. Not only are there no more splatters all over my cooking/worksurface, this little beauty actually blends up vegetables completely, so I no longer have chunky soup when I want smooth soup. I was a bit skeptical of the multiple speed levels (21?) but am completely in love with them now as I have total control over the texture of whatever I'm blending. I had gotten to the point where I stopped making soups that required immersion blending because my older Braun made such a mess for not very good results. This new model has changed my mood in the kitchen and is definitely worth the price.
