Our verdict

A strong choice for cooks who want fine control over blending speed without stepping up to a larger machine. The beaker and stick are not dishwasher safe, so cleanup stays hands-on.

Overview

Blend, chop and puree by holding the motor body over the included beaker or any pot. A speed dial on the handle moves through the full range while the bell shaped shaft pulls food up into the blades and limits splashing. Press the TurboBoost control when a recipe needs the motor at full output.

Speed selection is the whole point here: the dial lets a cook start slow to keep flour or hot soup in the container, then spin up for smooth purees. The trade is cleanup, since the blending stick and beaker have to be washed by hand. Braun's EasyClick Plus mount also lets the motor body drive other MultiQuick attachments, which are sold separately.

Who it's for

A kitchen where soups, sauces and smoothies get made a few times a week, and where the blender has to reach into a stockpot instead of a countertop jar. Skip it if hand washing the shaft and beaker is a deal breaker, or if you need a full countertop blender for crushing ice in volume.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Speed dial covers a wide range
  • TurboBoost button for full motor output
  • Bell shaft limits splashing
  • Stainless steel blades
Cons
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Attachments beyond the included stick sold separately
  • No chopper or whisk in the box
  • Corded, so it needs an outlet nearby

Performance notes

Blending results depend on how the bell shaped shaft and its inner ribs keep food circulating past the blades instead of letting it sit at the bottom. The speed dial lets you match motor output to what is in the container, which matters most with hot liquids and fibrous vegetables. TurboBoost gives a short burst at full power when the dial setting is not enough.
