The Braun MQ 9195 XLI is a versatile hand blender designed to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks, from simple smoothies to complex food preparation. Its 1200 W motor provides significant power, which is complemented by ActiveBlade technology where the blades move up and down to make blending hard ingredients like raw vegetables much easier. You can manage the intensity using the SmartSpeed linear control and pulse mode, allowing for precise adjustments across three speed settings. Built for durability and ease of use, the device features a plastic housing and a stainless steel foot and blade. The comprehensive kit includes a whisk and a small 0.35 L plastic chopper bowl for quick tasks, alongside a larger food processor bowl with a handle. This larger attachment comes with a dedicated blade and both slicing and shredding discs, making it useful for those who want to chop, slice, and grate in one place. Weighing 2.8 kg and standing 41 cm tall, it is a substantial tool that brings the capabilities of a full food processor into a handheld format.
