Braun MultiQuick 9 Hand Blender, Mixer, XL Food Processor, Active PowerDrive Technology, Multifunctional Bowl with 0.6L Capacity, 1200W, MQ9187XLI, Black

My hand held blender broke. I saw this and even went to a well known store to physically check it out.I've had this for a couple of months and I use it lots, for soup, kneading dough, pastry or a biscuit mix I make for my dog.It's easy to clean. I've not put any part in my dishwasher yet, I prefer to hand wash it.Only thing I wish it had was a lock so u don't have to hold the button all the time but that said it really doesn't take long for ingredients to come together.I've not used whisk yet, if I do a pavlova I will try it out.Button is easy to push in, I have arthritis in my left hand and I was worried depressing it would hurt but no, it's great, for me anyway.Lovely little machine. A real time saver. I use the small one for things like bread crumbs and the large for dough and pastry.

This mixer from Bosch is working really great for us and making our life a lot easier. It has a lot of accessories that can be leveraged and feels well built. The parts can be placed in the dishwasher which is a nice feature to have. Indeed the safety lock clicks very easily when the mixer is not in use, however it can be easily unlocked so its not a problem

This contains pretty much everything you'd ever need to do. Great quality, easy to use and clean, as well as being powerful.

This blender is an absolute pleasure to use. It’s replaced a larger Bosch processor that I couldn’t get on with.It rapidly blends a pan of vegetables into soup in a matter of seconds and so easy to clean the non motor/gear parts in the dishwasher.The level of speed control is a game changer and little or no splashing.Mashing spuds with the attachment has never been so easy!It’s not cheap but I like to think buy quality and buy once.

This is my fourth or maybe fifth Braun stick blender, but the first time I've gone for an upmarket model. This is a solidly built piece of equipment, with a very powerful motor giving a really effective blending action. The downside of the power is the weight, although I have had less powerful blenders that have been as heavy. There are some nice touches to the design - the stainless steel shaft of the blender means than it won't get stained by spices etc, like some plastic ones. The blade moves up and down with a spring action which helps with thorough blending, and the power can be controlled by how strongly you squeeze the trigger, as well as being able to be set before starting. This model comes with a good set of accessories - balloon whisk and gear head, a beaker for blending in, and a chopper with a couple of blades, one for ice. The only thing I don't like about it is the safety lock, which is the first one on a blender I've had, and which engages too quickly in my opinion (if you pause slightly too long, for example). Otherwise a nice bit of kit. Not too expensive for its capabilites, either, unlike some kitchen equipment brands.

Saved 90 quid by ordering here as Curry's wanted €240 for this set. All the blades are super sharp, the blender blade is full width within the head so it makes a creamy smooth consistency of food, it also has a springin the neck so you can press the blade to the bottom of the container to make sure there's no unblended chunks left. The large processor is a whooping 2l tank so no more dividing down portions as it fits all the ingredients in one go. Everything is super easy to clean and store and it compacts several different kitchen appliances into one, saving a ton of space. Worth every penny!!! Can't recommend enough!

I notice that some reviews were 1 star. But for my side, it arrived brand new. Other says that it was used, or glued, for me the semi liquid I notice is a silicone grease, it is applied during production to lubricate between the parts that rubs each other like gears or bushings and shafts, I assume it is food grade, no need to remove except the excess or smear. For the those that says its broken or chipped off like in the picture of the blades for the ice crusher and chopper for the bowl, the depression is designed, I tried to investigate with my old MQ3 series 700w which has a ring shape, and it doesn't fit . I think the purposes of these depressions are to reduce friction by reducing the surface area in contact with the bowl, another is to dislodge the food in those friction prone area and for easier cleaning and insertion. I think this was thoughtfully designed. As for the lock or interlock, yes its annoying but it is 1200W handheld mixer, we have to be mindful that it is a powerful device, anything that might catch such as headphone cord or hair or someone might fall or something might touch causing accidental activation can lead to serious injury, I advice to use both hands when possible, the another warning blades are very sharp too. Moreover, I have a 200W 2-speed braun hand mixer, it does not need this interlock, yes you can operate single handedly and light, which is convenient but under power. Prior to buying this we should have consider our intentions, and the priority is safety first, just my thought. happy shopping.
