MPN: MQ9087X42 reviews
Poor customer service – The hand blender started to turn on and off intermittently so I contacted Braun. Still under warranty I was told to drop it off at one of their repair centres…. Now it’s been over 2 months and still no answer. Spoken to both Braun and repair centre and still no answer on what’s going on. Pretty pathetic service from both parties ! Show details
The only brand of blender to guarantee they are free from emitting chlorinated paraffin in to food – Update below: Pros: 1.It is pretty much the only blender that can guarantees being free from chlorinated paraffin. I specifically enquired about this to all the blender brands I could think of and Braun is the only one who could definitively assure me they were free of it: "For all Braun hand blender we can guarantee that are free from… Read more
chlorinated paraffin since 2017. (We have the test report and are certified) However, regards to the product before 2017, although the material has not been changed, we do not have the certification so we cannot officially guarantee." It is no contest after this. It is the only choice of brand to get. 2.Great customer service, they replaced the small bowl for me about 4 times, even out of warranty, see cons below 3.Generally great blender in the big bowl and as an immersion blender Cons: 1.The small blade in the small bowl kept twisting out of control and twisting itself in to the plastic of the bowl - smoking from the heat, melted plastic, distorted twisted up metal and plastic bowl no longer useable. This happened 4+ times and even when grinding soft stuff like garlic.
Update:
Pro: They have a great website where you can order replacement parts instead of having to buy the whole set all over again, that's better for the environment. It is great they have this as they could just force you to pay for a whole new set, holding as they do, the monopoly for the healthiest blender due to free of chlorinated paraffin contamination.
Con: The engine for this gave out after about 3 years of fairly regular use. I think that is so so mileage, should last longer.
It was great abut then broke before the year – Purchased this at good guys and worked great at first. Didn’t really used it that much. Before it was a year old mid use it just stop working after hearing a click inside the machine. We were busy with Xmas and family stuff to didn’t take it back straight away. We went to the good guys 6 days after the year mark and they would not do anything, fix it or anything. Very disappointed Show details

Fit for purpose. I use it daily – I use the Braun MultiQuick 9 every day and love what it can do. I like the variety of chopping and mixing accessories included. It’s important to read the manual. Find out how big the food pieces can be for the blades and motor to work. And beware ... some of those blades are incredibly sharp (cut myself a few times cleaning it). I hand wash all… Read more
parts straight away, as I don’t trust the dishwasher with it (not all parts are dishwasher safe). With a family member getting braces, meat and veggies needed to be chopped. Burnt the motor of my expensive ESGE/Bamix mixer and this Braun MultiQuick was recommended to me by a family member overseas. It was pointed out to me that the plastic parts may eventually break, but that they can be purchased fairly reasonably priced as spare parts. I use it to chop herbs, onions, meat, veggies, fruit purées; make smoothies, sauces, mashed potato; slice veggies (soft and hard) etc... There is a lot more it can do. Some of the attachments I haven’t used yet. So far I am really happy with this purchase. Chopping has never been so much fun. And... Our diet has also improved :-)
UPDATE (11/2024): After 4 years of regular use, the blender is still going strong. One of the blades has a hairline crack visible on its shaft. But so far it is still holding together.
a big disappointment – I bought this a year ago and have suffered ever since in comparison with my previous Braun mixer/chopper which I loved. The last one was made of much stronger material, and the chopping bowl which came with it was a larger one perfect for chopping my muesli, etc. This has a 1.5cup bowl which is too small, and it has now broken because I put a… Read more
cinnamon stick in it and the force smashed the plastic part of the chopping blade as well as cutting grooves in the plastic bowl so so I need to replace them. I use the shredding parts a lot and find that when I remove the lid to get the shredded carrot, etc. out the remains which did not get shredded drop all over the place, and the little metal stick in the bottom of the bowl always falls out with the food so that I end up searching all through the food to find it. Why doesn't it stay in the bowl? The shredding discs end up with food jammed into all the corners so I have to get a skewer to dig it all out. All in all, what with the cheap plastic bowls, and the annoyance of having to press the top button before I can press the side button to get it to work, it is so inferior to the last Braun multiquick machine I had that I will next time look to a different brand which is quality made.
Good Stick Blender – Have only used this a handful of times in the last five months but so far so good. Haven't been able to use all the attachments yet but after reading some reviews below I will have to experiment more. The stick blender is very good quality and works superbly. The safety button on the top is a big bonus. I have used the small chopper, whisk and… Read more
puree attachments. All good. Last night I used the large food processing attachment bowl to make pesto. Unfortunately it just didn't make it fine enough, so I decided to transfer the mixture to a bowl and just use the stick blender which worked totally fine. The blender pulls apart easy and is easy to store, however with so many attachments it can need a lot of space in the end. My only downside to this blender is that some of the plastic attachments are very flimsy and delicate. I dropped the lid of the small chopper from my hands onto my bench and it already snapped and broke. Luckily I can still use the lid but it doesn't clip on anymore. All in all I am very happy with my choice and feel it is good quality for the price.
Positive reviews
Replaced three appliances with the Braun – The engine is so powerful and this one appliance has replaced three others: my old stick processor, food processor and blender. Literally the best appliance I've ever owned. We're using it for smoothie bowls, salsa verde, mashed potatoes and so much more. Show details
Use it everyday – Makes great smoothies, has a powerful motor. I dislike the safety feature that turns it off after only a few seconds inactivity so I must press the button again to restart it - a lot. One of the attachment blades went wonky after over-use, and the store (Betta Living Gympie) replaced it on the spot. 5 stars to them! Show details
Delivers what it set out to do – Saves me lots of time on food prep. The machine is efficient and delivers what it set out to do. I have had it for a year and a half now, use it often and still impressed with the result. Show details
Negative reviews
German quality is no longer quality – Yeah, that is so sad, the German quality is no longer quality. I bought a MultiQuick 9 Hand blender MQ 9087X about 4 years ago (see photo and decide for yourself).
Good but not the best – I brought this when looking for a food processor as I thought I’d get the advantage of the other attachments. The small chopper is great however the larger one takes a bit and doesn’t process the best. The vegetable slicer attachment is ok. It does the job but could be better. Show details
Not the most reliable blender – Worked fine for slightly over a year and then broke... useless customer support and massive backlog of devices under repair. It is certainly not made in Germany (manufactured in Romania). Show details

Excellent product until it broke :-( – Great product until it broke. Braun have decided the best option is to send it for review/ repair with a 7 week backlog - this is still within the initial 12 month warranty - very disappointing customer service Show details

All in one is great but plastic parts are cheap and it definitely is not the best blender for the hardest jobs – Braun MultiQuick 9 is a great must have in the kitchen but parts get broken if you use it every day. I love the size and all the blades you can prepare salad quickly.cleaning is fast and easy.The price tag is high comparing to the cheap parts. I will buy it again if they improve the quality of the parts especially grating, shredding,slicing,… Read more
chopping.It is not strong enough for kneading the dough.coffee grinder is doing ok. But for a family of 3 with guests over it gets over heated so basically if you have a big family and cooking everything day forget about it.
Great for lightweight tasks, but hopeless for anything hard – Have had this for two years and it's had a really easy life. Great for chopping nuts or other lightweight tasks. Yesterday my wife tried to use it for dates. It fried the motor. Would have been happy it it had a thermal cutout, but no, the motors gone. If you only want to use it for lightweight tasks go for it. If you want it for anything else, good luck! Show details
Excellent, but short lived – The incredibly powerful motor is the real drawcard for this appliance and we were always happy with it’s performance. However, one day the motor just stopped working without notice, no warning signs, no funny noises, just stopped working at all. It is also worth noting that the lid accessories cannot be washed in the dishwasher without being damaged. I would not buy this again.
Has broken twice on first use – The small attachment is not fit for purpose. It is completely flimsy and the plastic breaks as soon as you try and use it on even the softest items. It broke on first use, and after a lot of resistance from Brain customer service (telling me I had used it wrong- I hadn’t) they replaced the head. These retail for around $50 which is insane for a… Read more
tiny piece of plastic. I was extra careful using this replacement, but it still broke on first use. The plastic shattered through the food in the small container. So frustrating and such a waste.
Poor quality plastic parts – Purchased Nov 2018 Plastic lid of chopper bowl broke after being dropped on floor (lino, not tiles) soon after purchase. Plastic connecting bit between chopping blade and motor part broke June 2020. Awaiting warranty response Show details
Cannot be used for kneading dough – The product on the packaging says that it can be used for kneading. After 12 months of use, it is giving us trouble, making terrible noise. We have stopped using it but are sure if we use it anymore, the motor will certainly break. Braun (Delonghi) is not taking any responsibility, saying that it is good for mixing and not kneading! If it is to… Read more
be used for kneading, it has to be done for 30 sec each time with a break of 10 minutes within each run!
Bottomline, it is a light hand blender and should be marketed as such (for light work only: cutting and chopping not for kneading)
A fantastic multi purpose addition to my kitchen – Purchased the Braun several weeks ago and have say I’m extremely pleased with it. I wanted something that would allow me to process smaller amounts than most large food processors and it’s been perfect for that. I can make a single cup or less of pesto or garlic dips etc. Also never found shredder/slicer attachments very effective before but these… Read more
are amazing. Waste very little of the food and I can make a large salad with julienned carrots, super finely shredded onion and whatever else in literally 5 mins! Processor is also great for making dips, mayonnaise etc. and it’s motor is more powerful than my full size food processor! brilliant tool and highly recommend!
Brilliant! All in one appliance – Good quality, lightweight and compact. Good size food processing jug and different attachments cover all my food processing and blending needs in one. Love the whisk attachment for whipping cream and fits nicely in the beaker provided. So easy to clean as well. Highly recommend this product. Show details
This is Perfect !!!!!! – Have been using this daily since I got it and theres lots to love about it so far. Great motor and like the safety lock feature. Its really easy to clean and the fact I can just pop most parts in the dishwasher is really helpful. The two different processor bowl sizes is so much more functional and being able to pour into the larger one when its… Read more
on is helpful. Were mostly using the processor bowls and mashing head so far (prepping baby food), but the other components will get good use in time. Ive had two other stick blenders previously and this one is the standout

One of my best purchases! – The quality of the product is excellent. It is very well designed with durable plastic; attachments fit together with a small click or twist and it runs quietly; there is also a safety feature with the blender which is good. The nut chopper does a good job in an instant; I've used most of the attachments and like the way they fit onto the… Read more
blender. The whisk is light and easy to use. I am most surprised at what you get for this price. It is streets ahead of some other blenders I've used. I highly recommend this product.
Good Multi use product but – I thought this was going to be a pretty great product based on my research, so was really excited when it arrived. The actual unit is great, easy to operate and really great quality but the added items leave a little to be desired. There is a lot of plastic, not the best quality in comparison to the main unit even some of the blades are plastic… Read more
and I have doubt that they will last as long as the motor unit. There is also a pretty big book that comes with it but there are very few instructions on how to use what and for what.
Love it – I only bought this a week ago...so cannot comment on longevity, but with a 2 yr guarantee that’s not a big issue . I can however say that as a blender it works just as well as my nutribullet rx....and that works extremely well. I like the Braun because you don’t have to add liquid to smoothies if you don’t want to...or work madly with a tamper to… Read more
make nut butters. It also saves with the washing up....I haven’t tried some things yet...but all the slicing and grating functions work well, as does the little chopper. You hardly have to move the blending stick, as it seems to pull the food into the blades...this is great because you can use it in non stick pots without touching and damaging the surface. The locking button on the top is super...no more accidental starts and splatters. I was reading in one review where the user couldn’t activate the unlock and nor could the store....I wonder if anyone thought to remove the red plastic strip that stops the button from activating ?.the instructions don’t tell you about it and it looks like part of the handle. Took me a minute to discover that. I got it on special ...so the cost was reasonable too. So far I am very happy with my purchase.
I can’t live without this now! – This machine is so compact to store. That was my biggest issue is my limited space. This machine breaks apart easy. Chops well has a larger bowl and a smaller one. I use it daily more than once. I make whip cream and things - so many handy attachments. And washes well. Can handle for sauces in the food processor. Love it. Show details
I use it daily but it has lost some of its power – Use it only a daily basis to make baby food and blend protein shakes. But over the years it has lost some of its power and I am not even sure if the warranty covers it. It also really can't kneed bread as advertised. The blender has also started making a rattling noise. Show details
Use it all the time! – I have never had a reason to regret buying this blender. It is very versatile, and I use it very often. The small chopper is great for chopping up one or two things. The larger chopper for slicing multiple things at once, coarse or fine it takes seconds and is easy. The active blade chops everything fine and smooth, not as much as a nutribullet… Read more
for instance but for a hand blender it's fantastic. I've used this to make soups, smoothies every morning and guacamole. The motor is powerful and it is easy to control the speed. The only time it lacked power was when we tried to make a meringue. I've never had it overheat even after 10 minutes of continuous use. There can be times where if either of the food processors are overfilled that the food doesn't process properly, leaving some food finely chopped and others still in large pieces. The safety button on the handle makes it difficult to accidentally turn on so no need to worry about accidentally hurting yourself. Overall, there may be one or two issues, but given that it's a single appliance that can do so many things (I haven't mentioned all of the applications) I am very pleased with the blender.
Good but not a replacement for my food processor – This product is an excellent hand blender and a good food processor. I bought it with the intention of using it not only as a hand-held blender but also as a food processor so I could give away my (old but still excellent) Braun CombiMax 650 food processor. While the Multiquick 9 works well as a food processor, I have decided to keep my 15-or-so… Read more
year old food processor as it is considerably more convenient to use than the Multiquick 9. For example, you have to hold down the operating button on the Multiquick 9 whereas the CombiMax 650 is standalone, like all food processors. The bowl capacity of the Multiquick 9 is a generous 1.5 litres - a bit smaller than the CombiMax 650's 2 litres. The Multiquick 9 comes with many accessories to do any type of chopping, slicing, grating etc. It also has a small bowl for smaller quantities such as herbs. Of course, it also operates extremely well as a hand-held blender, with chopper, whisk and puree accessories. You can use it at varying speeds, both as a blender and as a food processor.
Overall, this is a very versatile product that performs perfectly in what it is designed to do. If you are looking at buying both a hand-held blender and a food processor, you should consider buying this as a product to do both functions. However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if your main objective is just to have a versatile food processor, since a dedicated food processor is probably a better option.
Decent quality and most attachments work – Bought this to replace our previous stick blender that had given up. Noticeable power difference between this and the previous blender (this is much better). The variable speed switch is also really smooth and much better than our old stick blender. Bought this one based on motor power and main stick looked like decent quality. Wasn't… Read more
expecting much from the attachments but most actually work ok - although some are a little gimmicky, (like the one that supposedly makes chips).
The whisk and potato masher are good.
I can't cook without this – I really enjoy using this blender. It does everything I need without having to store a bunch of huge appliances. The motor is powerful enough. I use it to make cream soups, smoothies, cocktails, chicken mince, chicken pate and even biscuit dough. This is a great product it really does it all and I highly recommend it. Show details
Best kitchen tool – I chose this as part of my registry not knowing much about the product but I’m so glad I chose it and that I could’ve avoided some other alliances had I known how many functions this hand mixed performs so well. Highly recommended and would choose this over any other mixer any day. Show details
Easy handling, does the job well, love the chopper – Was going for the multi quick 7, instead bought the 9. The additional smaller chopper is well worth it. Motor is very good, chops, blends, mixes and slice/dices fast. You have full control of the speed. very easy to clean. Plus the equipment isn't as big as a food processor so its easy to store. Haven't used the wisk. Show details
Excellent stick blender – I needed and new Stick blender and after some research I decided to buy the Braun Multiquick 9. I really like how easy it is to operate, the safety switch is a bit annoying but not a problem. It works well and with all the accessories it came with so I hardly use my food processor now. Show details
Handle with Ease. Looks good too – Had to finally update my stick mixer. After a lot of searching this was perfect for me. The ease of releasing the motor to attach to new connector was a breeze. You only need your thumb and first finger to release. Most appliances you need to fully press to release, this is so simple. There are your standard attachments plus the extra chopper… Read more
container. What is also an ingenious idea, is how most stick blenders are solid. The Braun has designed this model to push down ad elevate. It’s like an airing motion when chopping your ingredients. If you are able to physically see, you can see how the stick presses down. Love the ease of the potato masher, there is no splatter everywhere. Like all appliances, you need to be aware of how you handle them. There is no reason to use the masher or choppers on angles. I see this done and also see how splatter takes effect, besides it being dangerous. This may sound silly, but people do make stupid errors. As per usual chops extremely well, just no reason for overloading. As lovely and useful this appliance is, it could have done with storage compartment to have all pieces encased when not in use. Have seen different item that has a storage case. Overall, am happy with purchase and do stress the easy release to change to attachments. Highly recommend though pricey. Do shop around for price deals.
