Third-party reviews

What customers like about Braun MQ50501M

  • Powerful 1000W motor processes thick ingredients and hard foods quickly
  • Effective SplashControl technology virtually eliminates kitchen splatters and messes
  • Smooth and consistent blending results for hot soups, smoothies, and baby food
  • The 21-speed dial and turbo boost button offer highly precise, one-handed control
  • EasyClick Plus system allows for quick and effortless changing of accessories
  • Ergonomic handle with a soft, non-slip rubber grip provides a safe and comfortable hold
  • Dishwasher-safe removable accessories make cleaning the unit very easy
  • Quiet motor operation compared to many alternative hand blenders

What customers don't like about Braun MQ50501M

  • Can take longer to fully process highly fibrous materials like kale or broccoli stems
  • Adjusting the top speed dial during continuous one-handed operation can be awkward for some users
  • The plastic connection/coupling between the motor base and attachments feels less durable than metal components

Verdict

The Braun MultiQuick 5 MQ50501M is a high-performance immersion blender equipped with a powerful 1000-watt motor and a variable speed dial offering 21 settings plus a turbo boost mode. It features a durable stainless steel shaft with PowerBell VPlus technology—combining an extra milling blade and six inner ribs—alongside SplashControl technology to minimize kitchen messes. Main pros include its exceptional blending precision, efficient one-handed speed regulation, comfortable ergonomic soft-grip handle, and the EasyClick System Plus for fast accessory swaps. However, notable cons include limited mobility due to a relatively short 1.2-meter power cord and a slightly heavier build compared to lower-wattage models.
