I have a number of kitchen appliances including a 20 year old Braun stick blender which is still working well. It doesn’t have any additional attachments. I have a food processor and a hand food mixer along with a stand food mixer. I use all, but I’m still inclined to do many jobs by hand to save the bother of getting the appliances out of the cupboard. I have arthritis and I’m finding some chopping and grating jobs more difficult and I was looking at food choppers, to easily fine chop veg etc.
I spotted this and after much checking of price and other options…other makers, different combinations of tools etc, I selected the Braun. Oh wow, it’s impressive. It still has the quality look and feel I associate with Braun products. I was particularly tempted by the fact that this unit has 1000w motor. Some are significantly less and may struggle with tougher jobs, plus there a wide selection of speeds. It’s very easy to switch to the whisk and this makes short work of a batter or egg whites. The chopper is amazing and very fast. Easy to pulverise in seconds. The mixing jar is ideal and I really can’t fault this appliance. It’s small enough to keep in the kitchen drawer and it’s something I’m likely to use most days. All the bits are dishwasher safe ( not the case with some other makes) and it’s an all round outstanding buy. Even better, after ordering I remembered I’m a member of Which…I should have checked their recommendations first to see their best buy. This model was tested in October 2024 and is the best buy at 49.99. I got it as a lightning deal for ten pounds less and it’s £89.99 on the Braun website. It’s a genuine bargain and I’m very happy to recommend.
