Braun MQ9187XL MultiQuick 9 Hand Blender with Imode Technology

This does a great job of meeting a variety of needs in the kitchen -- while taking up a minimum of space. I've probably used the blender aspect of it the most, and with the beaker it's incredible for small/quick mixing jobs. It's even a fantastic milk forther if you're feeling indulgent. My only not-so-positive comment is that as a food processor, it's relatively underpowered. It's more than sufficient for most jobs, but there are a few (like pulverizing kale for a sauce) where more power would have been a plus. But overall, it punches way above its weight.

Love this one so much!! Constantly making peanut butter, smoothies, cutting veggies and many more! Very powerful, but can overheat if using non stop. But worth the money 100%

This set does it all from blending to dough kneading. Motor is surprisingly strong.

This is fabulous. I bought the 5 cup pitcher as an accessory and was able to give away my food processor since this comes with a 2 cup container and an 8 cup container you can chop or blend in. The 5 cup pitcher for me replaces a 4 cup one that I would use in my food processor. It’s a smaller footprint, easier to clean, and feels heavy. It has a fabulous safety feature so you don’t take off fingers with the immersion blender. I will say for smaller hands it is a little awkward to use but I will accept that given its outstanding features. It feels just slightly less powerful than my original food processor but I honestly don’t need a lot of power too often. Besides, given the convenience of this I will reach for this far more often than my food processor.

Have not heard any complaints and the price was great compared to other places. Was bought for a present.

This is great stuff from the company who popularized the hand blender. In the 1960s and 1970s, Braun introduced their Multiquick series — sleek, ergonomic, durable hand blenders that became a household staple. My wife just loves MultiQuick 9 and considers it the best blender she ever owned. She has had other hand blenders for 20 years. When it comes to household use, its speed, size, and power exceed all expectations.

I had been wanting a immersion/hand blender for a long time. I had a food processor and a hand mixer which I gave away and replaced with this. It is amazing. It pulverizes vegetables with ease and chops nuts to perfection. You have to watch what your doing or you will turn what you are chopping into dust. It is effortless. Easy cleanup. Most of all it's safe to use. Highly recommend!!

Having downsized, I thought it would be a good idea to get a "combo" set to supplant the individual appliances that I used to enjoy. The lack of documentation is appalling. The lack of an organizer to keep the accessories in a bundle (when space is tight) is inexcusable. Could have offered an option for those who don't mind being extra tidy. Naturally, this is no substitute for the specialty devices that one may have. Of course, it is an unfair comparison. The website is very poor unless all one is interested in is glossy pictures - classic disconnect between Marketing and Sales. Did four smoothies: the results were underwhelming and pale in comparison with my previous appliance. I guess I have to accept a new (but not improved) definition of "smoothie" now. This is not buyer's remorse because, as I stated earlier, I have no choice but to accept the situation. Did baking dough preparation with only 1.5 cups of flour: "a bad carpenter will always blame his tools" may be true but since I am accustomed to a proper food mixer, I must confess that I almost "cried" with the results of this Imode technology. Most important: it is early days for me, but I am worried of the ability of all the plastics to withstand daily use. Why did the product design team shave off a few millimeters of thickness of the container walls? What was the trade-off?
