Very Happy So Far
I have experience with a KitchenAide version of a immersion blender very similar to this Braun. So far they are pretty much equal in quality and functionality.I bought this Braun to make fruit smoothies, and have used it just twice so far…. so small sample size. Early impressions are: the 2-speed motor is plenty strong enough; the device and jar are easy to clean; seems pretty ruggedly built; fits well in my hand during use – the motor buttons are easy to reach and operate; the blender shaft release buttons are easy to reach and manipulate; the cord is an appropriate length for use on a kitchen counter; haven’t used the whisk attachment.The mixing jar included in the set is the weakest element here. The volume scale etched/printed on the side is so feint as to be almost impossible to see it. Nearly invisible! (minus 1 star) I’m considering adding some marks / numbers with a permanent marker for easier reference.The KitchenAide version I’ve used has slots in the sides of the cutter-head’s bell shaped housing which allow for flow around and through the housing causing a nice whirlpool like action in the liquid etc you are blending; creating a strong top-to-bottom mixing action. This Braun does not have those slots, and it does not seem to produce that top-to-bottom mixing action. But I dunk and lift the blender up down and around while blending anyway. I’m no cook, so I don’t know if that sort of mixing action produce by the KA version is important to the outcome or not, or just looks cool. What I can say for certain is that using this Braun the fruit gets totally chopped/liquefied and thoroughly blended and the smoothies so far have been delicious!I’d buy this again if needed and I recommend enthusiastically. Happy Blending!!

Woth The Cost
I’ve had, and gotten rid onf, any number of inexpensive immersion blenders over the years. This one is a keeper. The major issue with other blenders has been that the blender to motor connection falls off with the slightest pressure. This one is designed to stay together properly. Yes, it costs as much as three times what the cheap ones do but it will provide 100% less aggravation and last you nearly forever. Not sure why all immersion blenders come with accessories like cups and whisks, I have never used them and, when tested, they’re annoying and useless.

very powerful
This blender is more powerful than my old one. I like that it is dishwasher safe also, and It’s so easy to clean.

Es muy buena compra, funciona perfectamente, lo único que no me gustó fue que el recubrimiento de plastico que tiene el cuerpo del motor, en donde se sujeta, tiene una superficie que no es tan agradable al tacto, al final ese detalle no es de mi gusto, pero todo lo demás es bueno, lo volvería a comprar

Me gusta esta batidora por lo práctica que es para hacer licuados!. Con la licuadora pierdo mucho tiempo en limpiarla y ocupa mucho más espacio, en cambio, con esta batidora manual la limpio en segundos y puedo guardarla en el cajón junto con los cubiertos. Además, es mucho más durable, segura y funcional que otras marcas que conozco a través de amigos y familiares. Maravilloso producto!.
