Third-party reviews

What customers like about Braun MQ700

  • Intuitive smart-speed trigger allows easy, single-handed operation by adjusting pressure.
  • Powerful performance efficiently blends hot soups, smoothies, and frozen fruits.
  • Effective splash-control technology keeps kitchens clean by minimizing suction and splattering.
  • Comfortable, lightweight, and ergonomic non-slip rubberized handle.
  • Quick-release buttons make switching attachments fast and effortless.
  • Easy to clean with dishwasher-safe components.

What customers don't like about Braun MQ700

  • Not suitable or recommended for crushing ice or processing extremely hard ingredients.
  • The built-in safety switch mechanism can feel overly cautious or annoying to some users.
  • Takes noticeably longer to achieve a perfectly smooth texture with tough, fibrous ingredients.
  • The connection mechanisms between the motor and attachments rely on plastic components.
  • Attachment release buttons can feel stiff or difficult to press if hands are wet or greasy.

Verdict

The Braun MultiQuick 7 MQ700 is a versatile corded immersion blender equipped with a powerful 1000-watt (or 500-watt in select regions) quiet DC motor that can reach speeds up to 14,200 rpm. Its standout features include a durable stainless steel shaft, patented PowerBell Plus blades for rapid processing, SplashControl technology to eliminate messes, and a 600 ml BPA-free beaker. The main pros are its innovative Easy SmartSpeed trigger for seamless, pressure-sensitive velocity adjustments and an EasyClick Plus system that ensures swift, modular attachment swapping. On the downside, some users note the lack of a true, ultra-low speed setting for delicate mixing and find the built-in child safety lock slightly cumbersome to operate during continuous use.
