Braun - PureMix 5-Speed Blender - Premium black

I have had blenders before but this one is seriously surprising me. It is an excellent product. Let me go deeper in my revision and specify the strengths and improvement fields that I can see of this product: Strengths: 1. It is very powerful. I love that, it does not require a big amount of time to blend perfectly everything, making your smoothie or any kind of juice to be just a few seconds away and just pressing a button. 2. It is very elegant, I love the design of it. A blender can be pretty and this one is a proof of that. With only 4 buttons (and an extra power button), it is very stylish for me. 3 It is very safe! Yes, I say this because it is very easy for a kid to play with a blender and being injured, or if you are distracted, you can be injured yourself. This blender prevents this very nicely making impossible to operate it if you don't have 1. The blender powered on from the front button, and 2, the jug placed on its location perfectly!. It has a total of 4 sensors (that I've seen) to detect if the jug is correctly located. 4. The cover of the jug is also a measurement cup! How cool is this? 5. It is very simple to use... with only 4 buttons and each one of them with its own programming, it simply does what the button say (pulse, stir, liquify, and Ice crush) are the functions and works perfectly. Now, let's talk about its weaknesses: 1. It is very noisy. Don't take me wrong on this one, I know that a blender is noisy no matter what, but this one i believe is a little bit noisier than my previous blender. I understand that also being more powerful makes this reasonable. 2. The jar is plastic. I don't like the cheap sensation that plastic gives to this awesome product, I believe that a glass made jar is a way better choice. 3. Locating the jar so the sensors catch it and make it possible for me to blend sometimes is a process that requires me to check different positions of the jar until I know it will work (because the buttons blink with a green light indicating that it is ready to blend). As you can see, are very minor cons for all the pros you can have with this product. I love it and it is awesome!!!

I love this blender it works great. I've been looking for a good blender since mine burnt up. My kids enjoy smoothies and milkshakes especially in the summertime when they need something refreshing. This blender has great features I can control the speed by pushing the pulse button. I can also decide if I want a more liquid drink by pushing the liquid button.This blender isn't to loud like a lot of others are. It's made very well and the style is great too. I also like that it's super easy to clean and not to mention very easy to put together. The cord is perfect length it's not to short and not to long to where you are trying to keep the cord out of the way. I am very happy with this blender and we are all enjoying yummy treats being made with it.

I've been using this blender a couple weeks now. I've always been impressed with Braun products so it was no surprise how well this blender works. PROS- It's very sleek looking. Very simple yet sleek. - It has great force. It crushes through ice and frozen fruit so effectively and with little effort - Very simple to use. It literally has 5 buttons, one of which is the power button. You have the pulse, liquify, crush ice and stir. - The jar can be used as a measuring cup . Has the option of ounces, mL and cups While it has those great features, it also has a couple downfalls. - The jar is actually plastic, which I really am not fond of and is less durable. -Although I know blenders make noise, this one seems to be a bit noisier. -Sometimes I noticed the blender shook a lot and I had to hold it in place. I was able to test this blender to review and these are my experiences with it.

I was super excited when my blender was delivered because i live in the heat and milkshakes and icees are a must. Anyway...i set it up immediately and used it to just crush regular ice cubes to test out the crush mode crushed fine with little chucks nothing to complain about. So my son and i made vanilla milkshakes and they came out smooth and creamy. I love that it only has a couple bottons unlike others its really easy for me to use and clean up was simple and easy. I would totally recommend this Braun PureMix Jug Blender to all my family and friends. I love it

I currently have a vitamix blender in our home, when using this blender I noticed it did not handle the ice/liquid/food items as well as the vitamix does. The blender works, but I would not consider this a high end professional blender. I was unhappy with the consistency of nearly every item I tired, I made a shake, baby food, and just crushed ice with the blender. I wanted to try the Salsa recipe in the book but I didn't have the ingredients. Upon opening the blender I noticed there were some cosmetic scratches to the blender jar itself, I was unable to tell if it was on the inside or outside of the jar..but I was sad to see scratches starting off. I definitely would use this blender in a pinch, as a back-up, for parties, or for a rental property but I would not use this as a professional everyday use blender. It took a lot of stopping the machine, to stir it to get it to move the product around, adding more liquid on every attempt still did not give it enough "umff" to stir what was inside to blend it all consistently. The first attempt I made was baby food, it was frozen blueberries, 2 fresh bananas, 4oz baby formula, 1 scoop dry baby rice and some rice. It struggled so hard to blend and I was really frustrated as it wasn't even using real ice, it was frozen blueberrries with milk and soft bananas, I ended up putting it into my beaba babycook pro to get the consistency I wanted for the food. I attached some pictures below. The next item I tried was beating some cooked beats, when I scooped out the finished product I could see LARGE chunks that did not get blended, so I again had to add the mixture to my baby food blender to get it nice and smoothe, I didn't want my son choking. The next item I tried was a shake, ((bananas, strawberries, yogurt, and come ice) it came out ok, but it was pretty chunky ice, i was unable to snap a pic of this however. I also was not a big fan of the buttons, while the blender itself is very pretty, and would dress up any counter, the buttons seemed to stick or had to be pushed very hard to get it to move to the next type of blend option. I was a bit frustrated with it. Overall its a decent blender, but it is in no way a professional high power every day blender.

I have had this blender for about a week now and it works great the first night I got it I wanted to surprise my husband and make milkshakes like we had on our first date and they came out amazing this blender can crush ice very well and blend ingredients very well I love how heavy duty it is and how easy it is to clean the only thing you have to look out for is the very sharp blades while cleaning I've already recommended it to my sisters and mum I love it

So my kids and I have been using the blender for about a week now and so far we really like it. We used it exclusively to make smoothies and we've found the blender to perform almost flawlessly in this respect. Probably the thing that I like the most is just how quiet the motor is at full speed even when blending ice. Granted it isn't silent but it is really quiet compared to other blenders I've used. It definitely makes less noise than the ones at the retail smoothie places and at the displays in the big warehouse locations. So far we've blended Pineapple, Kiwi, Mango, Spinach, and OJ and Ice. The blender has gone through everything in varying sizes and amounts with any significant difficulty. I even added a full cup of chunks of ice and it blew through it without any issue. The only 2 areas I noticed difficulty may come down to user error. I found that is was hard to get the spinach completely pulverized without running the blender on the liquefy setting which led to smoothies that were runnier than I might like. The solution that seems to work is to do the spinach and whatever liquid first and then after it is blended well then add the fruit or whatever else. I also found that when I tried to blend with say less than a ½ cup of liquid and other ingredients I needed to pulse the blender or take the jug off the base and give it a shake to move it along sometimes. Again this may be me adding to much stuff at one time or in too big of chunks. Adding more liquid to start fixed this issue. Another possible issue is that because the jug is somewhat bigger than others it tends to be a touch taller and unfortunately is about an inch and a half too tall to fit under my overhead cabinets. The easy remedy was to move it to an uncovered space but for those that want it under a cabinet on a counter top I would consider measuring for height. I'm okay with it being out in the open versus under the cabinets as I like having the extra ounces in the jug to make larger batches. I's like to see a retractable cord on the base but it does have a space to wind it up underneath the blender so you only have the amount you need exposed and it doesn't affect the blender base resting flat. The cord is also quite long compared to other appliances I've owned. I though that only have 4 buttons for speeds with 2 of them being pulse and “ice” mode that I wouldn't have the variety that I might like but we did just fine with the “4” modes total. Thinking back on every blender I've used I generally just pulsed if I wanted something chopped and went full speed for everything else until I got the consistency I wanted so this blender worked just fine. The Jug is a hard BPA free plastic that doesn't weigh much at all. The lid on top fits snug and doesn't leak at all while still coming off relatively easy. I did not find it necessary to hold my hand on top while blending which kind of freaked my kids out. All and all I really like the blender and the price point for the amount of power you get with the motor seems to me to be a good deal. The kids are digging it and I for see us drinking more green veggies which the wife and I love.

I recently discovered through that not all blenders are created equally. I feel like this is definitely a top quality product. You wanna Make your own baby food? This is perfect. I initially only wanted it for that because baby food is incredibly expensive and they can put Organic on the label all they want… I still don’t know what goes into what my baby is eating. Making the food myself, I know exactly what my baby is getting. Not only does it save money, It is healthier. Makes the perfect consistency. It's easy to use and even easier to clean being that it is dishwasher safe!! As a busy mama, I think everything should be dishwasher safe lol. The seal on this is perfect! No fear! So I don’t have to stand there holding the lid lol. Ohh and it says crush ice. Yea, you can have crushed ice or you can pulverize it lol. You can literally make snow if you wanted to. So far, I have made delicious smoothies, Snow cones, baby food, tomato soups and sauces, but my daily thing has been my protein shakes. The fact that this blender can handle so many types of different things sets it aside. I don’t have to worry about it not catching everything or inconsistencies in creaminess. This Blender takes the place of the majority of my kitchen appliances. Because it is so easy to be cleaned, it is used daily.. Sometimes several times a day. I love the look of it as well. Beautiful to any kitchen. It isn't an eye sore that needs to be hidden away in a cupboard when not in use. I actually view it the opposite. I want to proudly display it and have easy access to it. With the power and multiple capabilities of this blender, I would definitely have to recommend it. Especially for Moms. Stop throwing away money and make your babys food yourself. Its up to you what goes in your families tummy. Make the best choice possible. With the money you save doing that, This blender basically pays for itself. I haven't found a blender that did everything the way I prefer until now. Hands down, the very best!
