Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 vs. Braun MultiQuick-5 Side-by-Side Comparison
Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 vs. Braun MultiQuick-5: Which is the better mid-range immersion blender? Let’s find out in this quick comparison.

Specifications
Design
The Chefman 6-in-1 has a hard plastic body, giving it a light, balanced weight. All the parts are designed well for the price, but they don't look really opulent. They have much in common with other blenders in this price range, so nothing in particular makes this one stand out.
The Braun MultuQuick-5 has a friendly-user design. Its 300-watt motor powers a removable blending shaft quite efficiently . Depending on the recipe, the motor can also work with the whisk attachment, which is not something you get with most mid-range household blenders.
It, however, cannot run continuously more than a batch. To avoid being damaged, make sure you let your machine cool down for a couple of minutes between its operations.
Usability
The balanced weight and simple controls make this blender a breeze to use, and its ergonomically-designed handle means that it’ll fit comfortably in your palm. Sometimes it’s difficult to maneuver, though, since it can create quite a bit of suction at the bottom of the container.
This blender is designed to be extremely comfortable to hold and use, even with just one hand. Not only that, but it also doesn’t demand us to use too much elbow grease on food tailings when it comes to cleaning.
Performance
The Chefman 6-in-1 worked great for beating eggs and emulsifying mayonnaise. We wish we could say the same when it came to preparing frozen fruit smoothies, puréeing leafy greens, and grinding nuts; it was very mediocre in those tests. For a broader spectrum of blending tasks, we recommend considering other higher-powered blenders.
After a course of testing, we’re confident to conclude that the Braun MultiQuick 5 is the choice for most people, especially those who want the best bang for their buck. It’s the best mid-range blender that has more than enough power for your daily blending tasks, from frozen fruit smoothies to any recipe involving leafy greens. And with the handy whisk attachment, it saves you from buying a hand mixer for beating egg-whites and emulsifying sauces.

Conclusion
Overall, we think highly of the Braun MultiQuick-5 over the Chefman 6-in-1.
Although both come with a fairly standard design including a mid-range motor and 2-prong stainless steel blade, the Braun MultiQuick-5 somehow outperformed the competition in the tests of making soups, smoothies, and nut milk. It blended faster, produced smoother consistency, and worked more consistently. In the remaining tests, both shared the same efficiency, but smooth acceleration and comfortable handling make the Braun MultiQuick-5 more satisfying to use.
The Chefman 6-in-1 is an average immersion blender and not without its flaws. Unlike the competition, it creates quite a bit of suction when reaching the bottom of the beaker. While its buttons are responsive, they’re relatively stiff for those with weaker hands or long nails.
