Braun MR400HC-WH Multiquick Hand Blender with Chopper

This is the second boat motor I have owned. The first one still works great, but we needed a new chopping bowl. If either of these ever wear out, I'm sure we will buy another. We use it for everything from hummus to salsa to sauces. If it is good enough for Tyler Florence, it is good enough for us.

It’s only 200 watt so if you want it to mix heavy stuff like peanut butter or blend hard butter not a good choice. Motor heated up, quit and never started again. I would expect it to have a safety feature of turning off when overheated but then to start up again after it cooled down but it didn’t.

The mixer of course is wonderful ... Braun makes a good durable product ... I love the chopper .. it's so convenient, esp. at Christmas with all the baking .. its so handy for chopping nuts or grating cheese

The rating should be 4 stars. Look at the numbers!

i'm very pleased with this handy device, which can be used for so many things, particularly since we do a great deal of home cooking.

The product features list "whisk" and lo and behold when you get your package you will figure it has no WHISK attachment ! they want you to buy the more expensive 430model. Braun has DISOWNED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCT DESCRIPTION !!! I am still doing the rounds to get "someone" to pay for the whisk attachment !

I bought this when my blender broke due to shipping. I wasn't going to stay long so I got something cheap. 6 years later it's still going strong. I wouldn't have written a review but I recently bought a $300 food processor and it can't grind as well as my little braun! It's great to use if you need to liquidize soups. I do it right in the pan while the soup is still hot (boiling sometimes) as someone else pointed out you need to keep it at an angle to the base of the pan but make sure the whole of the bottom is submerged or you'll get it on the ceiling (happened to me). I've read that this model doesn't come with the wisk. 6 years ago it did. It's a pretty useless attachment. This machine is also perfect for baby food because the blade is small and you can do tiny amounts with relatively little liquid.

I love this hand blender. The first one I had died and I did not know how fast to go out and get another one. Instead of getting out a big blender to make things like applesauce, smoothies, mashed potatoes, etc. and then have to clean up the whole machine, all you need is this small hand blender. I highly recommend it. It takes up little space, cleans up nicely and does a great job.
