Advantages: Light, silent, anti-splashing design, value for money Disadvantages: One speed only
...I'm the one who cooks at home and I'm quite peculiar about my kitchen appliances.
My old BRAUN handblender let me down after years and years of use. After looking at other brands, I decided to stick with BRAUN. I needed one quickly as I was starting to wean my daughter. I used it extensivey to prepare babyfood, but also soups, sauces, smoothies, etc.

We love this, especially the grinder that we use every day for linseed for our cereal. The grinder is great for small amounts but only fill it 1/4 full or it bungs up. All the attachments are handy, though we don't use the veg processor bit much as it... more
