There are many budget-friendly immersion blenders, but the Braun MultiQuick-5 has proven to be better than most. We liked all the products it produced. Although it couldn’t win this particular race, it outperformed all other variants in the range. On top of that, it comes with a very efficient whisk attachment, allowing you to achieve all sorts of textures.

If you can’t afford this blender, the lower-priced KOIOS 4-in-1 is worth your consideration. It is physically taller than the Braun but just as easy to use. Its versatility is also very impressive, with the help of a whisk and a food processor attachment.

Pros & Cons

  • The motor doesn’t vibrate as violently as others.
  • Extra attachments are included for a wider range of tasks.
  • It is easy to attach, remove, and clean the blending accessories.
  • The silicone buttons are responsive.
  • Its durability is backed up by a 2-year warranty.
  • We don't have to sacrifice efficiency for a bargain.
  • Consistent performance with minimal splashing
  • Nearly as efficient as the higher-priced Vitamix 
  • Ergonomically-designed handle ensures a confident grip
  • Doesn’t get hot even under heavy-duty use
  • A generous set of accessories means greater versatility
  • The blade guard can cause damage to the cookware’s surface.
  • The motor rating is 400 watts rather than its advertised rating of 800 watts.
  • The metal blending shaft and whisk may damage non-stick coatings
