Braun Multiquick 5 Pro MQ 55254 M - Stavblender - 1 kW

This product is ideal for mixing soups, drinks, smoothies with the hand blender. The chopper bowl uses a blade attachment for chopping herbs, vegetables (mashing cooked vegetables) and fruits. This is compact for small quantities as required. The base has maximum capacity of 500mls.

I particularly like the chopper attachment for when you can't be bothered to chop an onion. It's very compact and much more convenient than getting out my big stand mixer etc.

This was a well needed upgrade and it didn't disappoint. It Drives efficiency in the kitchen and is nice and compact so doesn't take up lots of space and looks nice too. Set up is really easy, I barely needed to look at the instructions. It's really powerful and has a choice of different speeds which took a bit of getting used to but is very useful. I've so far used it to blend soup, make salsa and whisk eggs and all were super quick, and for the soup gave a really smooth no lump consistency in no time at all. The only slight issue I had with it was the blender stick is all metal which meant I had to be really careful blending in the pan as didn't want to scratch it. It's also quiet noisy when it gets going. Overall a really great durable, multi functional product and worth paying a bit more for over other ones on the market.

This arrived at just the right time for us as we started weaning our six month old. From a performance perspective it does an excellent job of blitzing and blending food. It has a huge range of 'speeds' but I've not really needed to utilise them. I also haven't really needed to use the whisk, but it's good to know it's in the cupboard. The whole thing is really easy to store, assemble and clean. Which is probably my favourite thing about it. All the attachments go easily in the dishwasher, and it's small enough to fit in a drawer or small cupboard. Each attachment is really easy to attach, but also feels really secure. Only criticism would be the lid for the blender is a bit loose and it's easy to inadvertently knock it or lift it off. Otherwise, everything else is very soundly built.

This product arrived at just the right time for us as we started weaning our 6 month old. We've really used the hander blender and chopper the most, as we haven't had much use for the whisk, but it's a nice extra to know it's in the cupboard. My favourite thing about this is the size and how easy it is to store and clean. All the attachments fit comfortably in the dishwasher and neatly fit in a small cupboard or could fit in a drawer. The motorised unit itself has a really sturdy feeling to it, with a nice textured grip and really positive and easy to use buttons to release from the attachments. It has a wide range of speed settings but I haven't really found these to be particularly useful, but that's probably just because I'm mainly blitzing baby food. My only criticism would be that it'd be better if the lid of the chopper locked into place as it very easy to unintentionally lift off.
