Rating of the TOP 10 best Braun blenders of 2021

How to choose a Braun blender?

As with any home appliance, it is important to decide how often and for what you use the blender. The selection criteria in this case are unique, because some people cannot go a day without a delicious smoothie, while others only take out a blender on holidays. In 2021, hardware stores offer a wide selection of Braun blenders of different types and power.

Blender type

This is the first thing you should pay attention to when purchasing.

There are 2 main types: submersible and stationary.

• Immersion blenders . This blender takes up much less space in the kitchen, is convenient and easy to use. It is a handle made of metal or plastic, inside of which there is a motor. At the bottom there is a special mount to which attachments are attached, depending on the process - grinding or mixing. Sometimes the kit includes a small container in which you can beat the products, but using any container is acceptable. In submersible models, you should pay attention to the material of the lower part - metal or plastic. The duration and comfort of use will depend on this. Plastic attachments are lighter in weight, but more fragile and may stain from some products. Metal ones are more expensive, but last longer.
• Stationary blenders . Usually larger in size. The motor unit is located at the bottom of the blender and there is a control panel. The upper part is a glass or plastic beating container, at the bottom of which there is a knife or knives. Braun blenders usually have a capacity of 1-2 liters.

Power

Braun blenders are distinguished by the quality of their materials and the performance of the motor. The most inexpensive blenders with small dimensions, submersible or stationary, have a power of up to 500 W. They are great for making baby food or whipping protein mixtures. For pureeing (smoothies or pureed soups), a power of 500-1000 W will be sufficient.

More powerful models (1000 W and above) can also crush harder foods, such as nuts, cereals and large pieces of ice, but their weight increases proportionally.

Control type

Immersion blenders, for the most part, are controlled mechanically by pressing a button located in the holder. This control method makes it easy to use with one hand.

Stationary blenders can be controlled electronically, even remotely - through a mobile application or the Smart Home system.

In 2021, Braun began introducing electronic controls into some blender models, but they are more expensive than mechanical devices. Their control panel is most often located on the side of the case.

Number of speeds

If you are an amateur cook who does not use a blender very often, then 1-3 speeds will be enough, which will allow you to quickly grind different types of products.

In cases where the Braun blender will be used daily and for various operations, including whipping (for example, for dough of your favorite pancakes), it makes sense to pay attention to models with a large number of speeds.

The price category of such models is usually higher, however, the functionality ensures the versatility of their operation.

Bowl volume

The required bowl volume depends on the area where the blender is used. For one person, a capacity of 0.6-1 liters will be sufficient. Also, this volume will be convenient for preparing baby food or protein drinks, smoothies.

For a family of two people, a 1.5 liter blender is suitable. It will be enough to beat dough or cocktail, as well as for chopping vegetables into puree soup. Larger families need a blender with a capacity of at least 2 liters, but remember that the volume of contents should not reach the top cover of the device.

For a family of 3-4 people, the most convenient will be an immersion blender, which can be used in dishes of any size.

Additional functions

The range of functions in Braun blenders varies depending on the model and configuration. Some blenders, for example those presented in the rating, are equipped with turbo and pulse modes. They allow you to grind the contents to a uniform consistency, without leaving a single large piece.

Some blenders are equipped with a soup maker, which allows you to boil and warm the puree soup right inside the bowl.

Sometimes the kit includes grater attachments or additional knives. Such models are multifunctional and can replace several kitchen devices at once.

Main selection criteria

Before making a choice in favor of a specific device, you need to carefully study the main characteristics and capabilities of different types. Each criterion affects the cost and ease of use of the device.

Power and volume

The speed of processing products, as well as the possibility of grinding certain ingredients, depends on this parameter. For example, low-power devices will not cope with grinding meat or nuts, but are only suitable for boiled vegetables and dairy products. On the other hand, highly powerful models consume a lot of electricity, so their purchase is justified if you plan to grind solid food.

Important! The optimal minimum values ​​are 300 W for a submersible and 500 W for a stationary unit.

The volume of the bowl is selected taking into account the main purpose of the device:

1. A liter bowl is enough to prepare drinks and children's liquid dishes.
2. To create complete meals, it is better to choose a larger container - about 2 liters.

Material of manufacture

A characteristic feature of Brown products is that the container is made only from high-quality plastic or tempered glass. The materials do not release harmful components into the products; they are completely safe. The body is made of metal or plastic - the first option is preferable, but will cost more.

Number of speeds

Depending on the cost of the device, it is equipped with from 2 to 15 speed modes. For everyday home use, 3-6 speeds are sufficient.

Braun blender features

Healthy! Modern powerful devices also have pulse and turbo modes. They allow you to quickly and efficiently grind ingredients of any degree of hardness.

Specifications

Equipment

The Braun Multiquick 5 blender (MQ 545) is supplied in a parallelepiped cardboard box. The box is designed in a simple style: photographs of the blender itself and ready-made dishes are placed on a black background; on the side faces you can find basic technical information about the device and accessories included in the kit.

When packaged, the device is protected from impacts by foam inserts, which have recesses for all components. Thanks to this, the blender itself and the included accessories can be stored in a regular cabinet, using one of the foam inserts as a stand, allowing you to vertically place the blender, glasses and attachments in it. This seems especially convenient if the blender is used often enough that putting it away in a box after each use does not seem practical.

The box is not equipped with a carrying handle, however, with a weight of 2.1 kg it is not required.

Opening the box, inside you can find:

• the blender itself with an electric motor;
• main nozzle;
• whipping attachment (whisk);
• measuring cup with graduations of 50 ml (up to 600 ml);
• large chopper with graduations of 250 ml (up to 1250 ml) (lid, knife, bowl, anti-slip rubber stand);
• small chopper with a capacity of 350 ml (lid, blade, bowl, anti-slip rubber stand);
• instructions;
• warranty card.

It is worth noting that the chopper bowls contain special sheets with images of finished products chopped in a blender and an indication of the cooking time (for example, “chopped in 5 seconds”). This design element looks very nice.

Accessories

The main part of the blender is made of plastic, almost completely covered with a rubber coating. Thanks to this, the blender is not only comfortable to hold, but you can also be sure that it will not slip out of your hand. Knives and attachments are made of plastic and stainless steel. The bowls are made of transparent environmentally friendly plastic.

As for the availability of additional accessories, they are not presented very widely: we managed to find several spare (additional) grinding bowls, the price of which was close to 70% (!) of the cost of the blender itself with a standard set of accessories.

Control

The Braun Multiquick 5 blender gives the impression of a high-quality and well-built device. All attachments and adapters can be removed and put on easily and effortlessly. The lids on the choppers are fixed in the bowl with a slight turn. The attachments are attached to the blender using latches (you can release the attachment by simultaneously pressing the two side buttons).

Control is carried out using two buttons, respectively responsible for two different rotation speeds. No special training is required to operate the device; the process is completely intuitive.

Instructions and recipe book

The instructions contain information in different languages ​​(which, of course, includes Russian). Although the brochure looks very impressive, it contains at most two sheets of Russian text.

Among the pleasant little things, it is worth noting a table in which, using icon images, it is explained how to prepare (cut) products before placing them in the chopper bowl, what is the maximum volume of products that can be placed, and how many seconds (and in what mode) it is recommended to grind them. For example: you will have to cut the onion into quarters, add 250 g each, and chop for 15 seconds at first speed.

Also in the instructions you can find several recipes (mayonnaise, vanilla-honey prunes, pancake dough), which clearly do not look like a “collection of recipes”, and are for informational purposes only.

Exploitation

Preparation for use

Before first use, it is recommended to wash parts of the device that will come into contact with food. Otherwise, the device is completely ready for use. It is worth noting that during testing we skipped this step and did not notice any negative consequences: there was no smell of plastic or any other foreign odors.

Purpose of nozzles and working volumes

The blender is ideal for making gravy, sauces, soups, mayonnaise, baby food, as well as for mixing drinks and milkshakes. It can also be used for chopping meat, vegetables, hard cheese, ice, making pureed soups, batter, etc.

As for this model, it is equipped with attachments that allow you to perform the following types of work:

• The standard attachment is designed for preparing sauces, cream soups, milkshakes and other “standard” tasks for a blender. The volume of the finished product is limited only by the size of the container in which mixing occurs.
• The whisk mixer is designed for whipping cream, egg whites, dough and ready-made desserts. It is recommended to whip no more than 400 ml of chilled cream and no more than 4 egg whites.
• Choppers are designed for chopping meat, cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, nuts, almonds, etc. The volume is limited (for a large chopper) to 350 g of meat or 200 g of cheese, or 150 g of fruit and 700 ml of milk. For a small one - no more than 100 g of meat and cheese or 50 g of onion.
• The ice knife allows you to crush up to 7 ice cubes at a time.

It is worth noting that ingredients such as meat and cheese are recommended to be cut into cubes with a side of 1 cm, and if the recommended volumes are exceeded, it is better to divide the original products into portions.

Blender Care

It is recommended to wipe the main part of the device with the motor with a damp cloth, as well as the adapters in contact with it. The lid of the large chopper can only be washed under the tap, and all other parts can be washed in the dishwasher. If the plastic parts are stained with the color of the food (for example, carrot juice), it is recommended to wipe them with sunflower oil before cleaning.

Testing

Testing a blender involves making at least one dish using each of the available attachments. To test the Braun Multiquick 5, we decided to prepare the following dishes and semi-finished products:

1. creamy pumpkin and apple soup;
2. forshmak;
3. minced pork and beef;
4. mashed potatoes;
5. chopped greens;
6. Guacamole.

Creamy pumpkin and apple soup (main attachment)

Ingredients: dried thyme - 0.25 tsp, onion - 1 pc., vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l., sweet and sour apples - 500 g, cream 22% fat - 250 ml, garlic - 1 clove, pumpkin - 500 g, salt, ground black pepper.

Chopped onions and garlic are fried in a frying pan. Pumpkin cut into small pieces along with a peeled apple, salt and spices are boiled for about 25 minutes. Then all the ingredients are crushed in a blender to the consistency of a puree soup, cream is added.

The result is a solid five. The blender completed the task in a matter of minutes. The consistency of the soup turned out to be homogeneous; no splashes were noticed during the cooking process.

Forshmak (large chopper)

Ingredients: mustard - 1 tsp., small onions - 2 pcs., hard-boiled eggs - 3 pcs., vegetable oil - 2 tsp., potatoes - 4 pcs., vinegar - 2 tsp., apples - 2 pcs., allspice peas - 2 peas, lightly salted herring fillet - 4 pcs., black pepper - 3 peas, milk - 1 glass.

Peeled potatoes are boiled until tender and crushed together with milk to a puree consistency. The yolks from boiled eggs are placed in a blender bowl along with mustard, vinegar, vegetable oil, black and allspice and beaten until smooth. The remaining ingredients are also crushed in a blender, after which they are combined with previously crushed yolks and potatoes and mixed until smooth.

The result is excellent. The forshmak turned out to be tasty, although visually and not entirely traditional: in our case, it looked like a homogeneous mass, while by “classic” mincemeat, many mean a product made from chopped (passed through a meat grinder) ingredients.

Minced meat (large chopper)

Cut the pork and beef into cubes and chop.

Result: very mediocre. The minced meat did not want to be ground to the desired consistency for quite a long time. As a result, it was not uncommon for some of the minced meat to turn out to be paste-like, while quite large pieces of meat continued to remain in the grinder. Uncut veins were clearly visible in the finished minced meat.

In our opinion, it is not worth making minced meat in this blender: the process turns out to be very labor-intensive and time-consuming: periodically you have to open the lid of the chopper, mix the contents manually, turn on the blender again for a few seconds... Perhaps the only reason to prepare minced meat in this way is the need for very little quantity of product (100-200 grams). In other cases, it is easier to use a meat grinder.

Mashed Potatoes (Large Chopper)

The potatoes are boiled until tender, after which they are crushed with the addition of butter and milk.

Result: very worthy. The puree turned out tasty and tender. The only note is the presence of a couple of unground pieces (we were afraid to beat the potatoes to a paste state and stopped whipping them as soon as the puree began to look homogeneous).

Guacamole (small chopper)

Guacamole is a traditional Mexican snack or dip made from avocado (the word "guacamole" comes from the Aztec language, from the words Ahuacatl ("avocado") and molli ("sauce")). We used 1 avocado, half an onion, salt, lemon juice, hot pepper.

The result is excellent. In a matter of seconds, all the ingredients were crushed to a homogeneous mass, which was immediately sent to the table as a sauce for corn chips.

Chopping greens (small chopper)

In five seconds, a bunch of fresh parsley turned into an evenly chopped mass, suitable for adding to soups, sauces and other dishes. This result is truly impressive, especially considering that after finishing the job, it takes no longer to rinse the glass and knife than, for example, a regular cutting board.

Ice crushing (ice knife)

The blender also had no problems crushing ice. Seven cubes (as recommended in the instructions) were crushed in about 10 seconds.

Beating (whisk attachment)

The Braun Multiquick 5 also did an excellent job of beating eggs. However, this is not surprising: it is difficult to imagine what could go wrong when performing such a simple action.

conclusions

Based on the results of testing, we got the impression that the Braun Multiquick 5 (MQ545) is a high-quality and easy-to-use blender, ready for serious work when it comes to its main purpose - chopping and whipping solid and liquid products.

The presence of two grinding glasses allows you to use one or the other, depending on the volume of products to be crushed. Thanks to this, you don’t have to worry that, for example, a bunch of greens will be evenly smeared across the walls of the chopper. Among the advantages, it is also worth noting the nice design, the presence of a rubberized handle on the grinder glass and rubber inserts that ensure adhesion of the glass to the table surface.

In operation, the device turned out to be very pleasant to the touch and easy to use: the attachments are easy to remove and install, the design is not complicated by additional latches (the choppers are closed by simply turning the lid), and the noise of the motor does not cause irritation.

The main attachment of the blender performed its task perfectly, and complaints about the quality of the minced meat should be taken calmly: almost all grinders cope with meat imperfectly. In general, we can say that the blender coped with all the test tasks, not only without losing face, but sometimes even making us admire the quality of the work.

There were no problems with splashing, mixing was uniform in all cases, and the power was sufficient for all tests (including ice crushing).

Perhaps the only thing we would like to see in a device in this price category is the ability to more smoothly control the rotation speed. However, in practice we did not feel any discomfort: just two speeds turned out to be more than enough to complete the assigned tasks.

pros

• Convenience of design.
• The presence of two grinding glasses with a rubber anti-slip stand.
• Intuitive controls.
• Homogeneous mixing.
• No splashing.
• High-quality grinding of small portions.

Minuses

• No recipe book.
• There is no possibility of smoothly changing the rotation speed.
