Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion Blender
Score: 80/100
Braun MQ5027
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Braun MultiQuick 5 Vario combines a 400 W German motor with 21 speeds, TurboBoost, PowerBell Plus and SplashControl for ultra-fine, splash-free blending. Its motor housing cannot be immersed and the unit is relatively heavy, which may affect comfort during long use. It is ideal for cooks who prioritize precise texture and a versatile accessory set while accepting a slightly bulkier design.
The Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion Blender delivers a robust 625-W motor and versatile five-speed control, making it ideal for a range of blending tasks. Its corded design and relatively heavy build may limit portability. Best suited for home cooks seeking professional performance.

Professional reviewers commend the Braun MultiQuick 5 Vario for its robust 400-watt German motor, the intuitive one-handed speed dial, and the proprietary PowerBell Plus and SplashControl technologies that deliver exceptionally fine purees with minimal splatter. The build quality and durability are highlighted as hallmarks of German engineering, though the non-immersible motor housing is noted as a minor drawback for cleaning.
Customers consistently praise the blender's balanced weight, comfortable grip, and the high-quality stainless-steel accessories. The ability to blend hot soups without splashing receives frequent commendation, while the requirement to hand-wash the motor housing and the unit's relatively heavy feel are the most common criticisms.
