Mueller Ultra-Stick vs Braun MultiQuick 5 Side-by-Side Comparison
There are lots of differences between the Muller Ultra-Stick vs. Braun MultiQuick-5 that may affect your buying decision.
Mueller Ultra-Stick
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Braun MultiQuick 5
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
Our hands-on testing indicates that the Muller is no match for the Braun, from the build quality to the overall efficiency. The Braun MultiQuick-5 is by far the most well-rounded mid-range blender we’ve tested. Although it cannot always churn out perfect blends, it allows us to achieve a wide range of textures with ease.
Apart from better blending, this Braun is also more versatile. While its blending wand is great for processing whole ingredients, the whisk attachment does a decent job of beating eggs, making whipped cream, and mixing things.
If you're on a budget and just want to buy something basic, we recommend this Braun MultiQuick-5. The Muller simply can’t measure up.
