Amazon.com Review
This multipurpose tool created a stir in the kitchen when it came out, as the food processor did a generation earlier. In order to blend, whip, and chop smaller amounts of ingredients, it's no longer necessary to wrestle with bulky appliances. Immerse the 7-1/2-inch blender shaft, with its little blade on the end, into a pot where vegetables have been simmering, press the switch, and in seconds a creamy soup appears--with no need to dump everything into a big blender. Blend sauces and baby foods in their cooking pots, too. Blend a milk shake or juice drink right in its drinking container, or in the 2-1/2-cup beaker included in this set. Whipping cream and egg whites is just as convenient: a 5-inch whisk attaches to the motor when the blender is removed. For chopping nuts, herbs, garlic, or onions, there's a 2-cup chopper bowl with a special blade. The motor with the attached blender shaft can be mounted on a wall (mount included). Everything but the motor and the chopper-bowl top (both should be wiped with a damp cloth) can go into the dishwasher. This tool is more than handy, it's a revolution. The instruction sheet, unfortunately, is harder to comprehend than the tool is to use. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Great for what it is for, not for hummus or hard cheese, folks
and with proper use, I blend hot soup and nary a splatter. Bowl chops parsley beautifully for tabbouli, too.

Braun hand blender
I have not tried all of the attachments, but the ones I have worked very well. Couldn't really understand some of the criticisms I read in some reviews. I am quite satisfied with this product.

Braun Hand blender
I have had a Braun hand blender for years, and love it. This was purchased as a gift for our daughter who has a very small kitchen. She used mine and thought it would be helpful to have one, to puree her vegetarian soups and chop nuts and herbs. I was pleased that this one has a wire whip, something my older model does not have. She will be able to use this item for years and years, and its versatility will be valuable. It is a wonderful product.
