What customers like about Braun MQ745

  • Intuitive smart-speed trigger enables convenient, pressure-sensitive variable speed adjustment using just one hand.
  • Efficient and powerful 750W motor easily handles hot soups, smoothies, and frozen fruits.
  • SplashControl technology successfully reduces splattering and suction to keep kitchen surfaces clean.
  • Includes a versatile assortment of useful attachments like a large blender with an ice-crushing blade, a mini chopper, and a whisk.
  • EasyClick system allows for quick and seamless swapping of attachments.
  • Ergonomic, lightweight handle design minimizes hand fatigue during extended use.
  • Most components are dishwasher-safe, ensuring straightforward and hassle-free cleanup.

What customers don't like about Braun MQ745

  • The pressure-sensitive trigger can make it difficult to maintain a steady slow speed without accidentally fluctuating.
  • Struggles to yield a completely uniform texture when processing very tough, fibrous green vegetables like kale or broccoli.
  • The attachment release buttons can feel stiff or slick to press if hands are wet or greasy.
  • The gearbox and motor-housing connection areas are made of plastic, which raises long-term durability concerns among some users.
  • Gearbox or drive-head sections cannot be submerged or placed in the dishwasher, requiring precise manual wipe-cleaning.

Verdict

The Braun MultiQuick 7 MQ745 Aperitive is a versatile immersion blender powered by a 750-watt German motor operating at speeds up to 13,300 RPM. It features intuitive SmartSpeed technology, allowing for seamless real-time speed adjustments based on button pressure, alongside a PowerBell anti-splash design with ultra-hard stainless steel blades. Main advantages include its robust 4-in-1 attachment ecosystem containing a 1.25L jug blender with dedicated ice-crushing capabilities, a 350ml compact chopper, a 600ml BPA-free beaker, and a stainless steel whisk, all easily interchangeable via the EasyClick system and mostly dishwasher-safe. However, notable drawbacks include a safety lock system that some users find annoying to repeatedly press, a plastic attachment connection mechanism prone to wear, and the tendency for water to occasionally trap inside the whisk head assembly during washing.
