Third-party reviews

What customers like about Braun MQ7045X

  • Powerful 1000W motor handles thick soups, sauces, and frozen smoothies easily.
  • ActiveBlade technology moves up and down to process hard or fibrous food with minimal effort.
  • SmartSpeed pressure-sensitive trigger offers intuitive, seamless speed adjustment.
  • SplashControl technology effectively minimizes suction and mess in deep pots.
  • EasyClick Plus system makes swapping attachments quick and straightforward.
  • Versatile accessory package includes a large jug blender/ice crusher, mini chopper, and a whisk.

What customers don't like about Braun MQ7045X

  • Struggles to crush ice perfectly using just the main immersion wand without jamming.
  • May leave a slightly grainy texture when pureeing heavily fibrous greens like kale or broccoli.
  • Whisk attachment head is prone to trapping water during washing, which can ooze out later.
  • EasyClick release buttons can feel a bit stiff to press if hands are wet or greasy.
  • Shallow bowls are still prone to splattering if the speed trigger is pressed too quickly.
  • Trigger-style speed control lacks the precise, incremental settings of a dedicated control knob.

Verdict

The Braun MultiQuick 7 MQ7045X is a powerful 1000-watt corded immersion blender equipped with a flexible stainless steel shaft featuring ActiveBlade technology that moves vertically to provide a 250% larger cutting surface. Its main characteristics include an intuitive Easy SmartSpeed single-button trigger for pressure-sensitive speed adjustment, a PowerBell Plus design with an extra milling blade, and a versatile accessory kit consisting of a 1.25-litre jug blender/ice crusher, a 350 ml mini-chopper, a 600 ml BPA-free beaker, and a stainless steel whisk. The prominent pros are its efficient processing of tough or hard ingredients with 40% less user effort, excellent anti-splashing protection via SplashControl technology, and quick accessory swaps using the EasyClick Plus system. However, notable cons include its dependency on continuous button pressure during operation which can cause hand fatigue during long blending sessions, some plastic parts in the attachment connection joints, and a safety lock system that some users find slightly finicky to navigate.
