Third-party reviews

What customers like about Braun MQ9138XI

  • Extremely powerful 1200-watt motor handles tough and hard ingredients effortlessly.
  • ActiveBlade technology effectively minimizes user effort by moving the blades up and down.
  • SmartSpeed pressure-sensitive trigger offers seamless, intuitive control over blending speeds.
  • SplashControl design successfully prevents messes and keeps countertops clean.
  • EasyClick Plus system allows for quick, trouble-free attachment changes.
  • Generous accessory bundle including a dedicated coffee/spice grinder and an ice-crushing blade.
  • Most non-motorized components are conveniently dishwasher-safe.

What customers don't like about Braun MQ9138XI

  • The main motor unit can become heavy and feel bulky during extended usage.
  • Struggles slightly to achieve an entirely silky texture with highly fibrous ingredients like kale or dense fruit skins.
  • Can experience overheating issues when tasked with heavy continuous batch processing for larger groups.
  • The safety lock mechanism requires getting used to and can slow down immediate operation.
  • Certain connection components utilize plastic parts which some users worry could wear out over time.
  • No integrated storage solution or case included to manage the multiple attachments.

Verdict

The Braun MultiQuick 9 MQ9138XI is a powerful 1200-watt immersion blender featuring ActiveBlade technology, which moves the stainless steel blades up and down to process tough foods with 40% less effort. This model features iMode technology with 3 speed ranges (low, high, pulse) alongside an intuitive, pressure-sensitive Advanced SmartSpeed trigger. It comes well-equipped with a 600ml plastic beaker, a 500ml chopper, a dedicated ice-crushing blade, a stainless steel whisk, and a coffee/spice grinder, all utilizing the EasyClick Plus system for quick accessory swaps. Main pros include its highly efficient motor, excellent versatility for heavy-duty grinding or ice crushing, and dishwasher-safe, BPA-free parts. On the downside, the device is notably heavy at approximately 1 kilogram and features a relatively short 1.2-meter power cord, which may limit maneuverability.
