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 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.
