Amazon.com Review
Equipped with an exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor, this versatile appliance is a combination hand mixer and hand blender. For mixing, beating, and whipping, there are two cunningly designed beaters that produce volume while reducing splashing. For kneading, there's a strong dough hook, and for blending, there's an attachment that can be used in the accompanying 2-cup container (or any container) for small jobs like salad dressings. For chopping, the power unit attaches to another container with its own blades to make quick work of nuts, onions, hard cheeses, herbs, garlic, and meats. (The container's base serves as a snap-on plastic lid for storage.) The mixer/blender has three speeds and a power-pulse button for working through tough jobs. It stands upright on a nonskid base, and its power cord pivots to stay out of the way or can be locked in place. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Summary: versatile and powerful 2008-08-16
Comment: this is the best purchase i have ever made in my entire life! i love cooking, and i couldn't make so many of my favorite dishes without my mixer.
pros -
-this little mixer does it all! i haven't used the dough hooks yet, but the beaters are great for beating egg whites or mixing batters (i use them every weekend to make homemade pancakes for my boyfriend), the chopper made quick work of some veggies for a homemade salsa, and the blender makes perfect consistency smoothies and soups.
-the mixer is powerful but not overwhelming. with three speeds, the controls have just enough options and are easy to use.
-everything attaches and detaches smoothly, so mixing, cleaning up, and storing all the parts is easy.
-for the four different attachments, the price is very reasonable. and if you bought all the individual appliances, where would you store them all anyway?
-i don't think anyone else has mentioned this, but in addition to the instruction booklet, it also comes with a recipe booklet. there aren't a lot of recipes, but it's great for generating some ideas (especially about how to use those mysterious dough hooks).
cons -
-the only complaint i can imagine is that the chopper attachment can only process small quantities of food at a time. while it might not be as ideal as a full-size food processor, it didn't take me much longer to chop in a few batches and mix them together after, and my salsa tasted just as good. And the compact size can't be beat!

Summary: Braun M880 - Versatile, well-made, good value 2008-08-16
Comment: I'm pleasantly surprised -- I'd never heard of this little appliance before I started looking for a hand mixer. This takes up little space, is a breeze to use and to clean, does an outstanding job of small batch mixing, chopping, blending -- how did I manage without it? It's become the indispensable item in my kitchen.

Summary: Best Hand Mixer Ever! 2008-08-15
Comment: This is the best hand mixer ever! I've had one for more than 10 years now and only the blades need an eventual replacement. Goes into the dishwasher, and is very cheap! I am buying my third one next week, as a gift to a friend. Sure bet!

Summary: Best kitchen appliance 2008-08-12
Comment: Just got my new Multimix today as a replacement for the Multimix I bought 14 years ago (1994) that finally gave out. I can't tell you how many batches of bread dough, cakes, salsa, and pesto (among other things) I have made with this highly versatile product. There's nothing else on the market that comes close for the price. Another big plus: it's NOT made in China. Thanks Amazon for carrying this product! Unfortunately, Procter & Gamble, which bought Gillette/Braun, seems to have plans to discontinue selling Braun applicances in the US. They should reconsider. I highly recommend any Braun product. I have a Braun coffeemaker and a shaver, too.

Summary: Simple, well-designed, responsibly-manufactured mixer 2008-08-10
Comment: I bought a Braun MR5550MBC Immersion Blender to replace my dying, crummy Black & Decker hand-held mixer. And while I really like the new gadget, it doesn't really do the two-bladed "mixer" thing (needed for things like mixing crepe/pancake batter). So it got an M880 as well, and I'm glad I did.
First, it's well-made yet inexpensive (I got it under $30). And unlike most other cheap -- and even expensive -- handheld mixers made in China, the M880 is made in Spain. This is important to me for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is the use of safe materials and the labor issues... but that's another matter.
The mixer is lightweight and seemingly powerful enough for small jobs. (For large jobs, I use a KitchenAid bowl mixer - I love it, but it's too much fuss for a quick mix.) The M880 feels good in the hand, and the switch is conveniently located. The blades are tough, and easy to attach and remove. (Note that they're not symmetrical; make sure to match the symbols on the motor with the shapes of inserts.)
The downside is that the chopper bowl, the immersion blender (which I really didn't need), and the cup are all plastic (and the chopper bowl may leech Bisphenol-A). But the two mixing blades and the two kneading hooks are stainless steel, and that's all I really use anyway. (The immersion attachment that comes with my MR5550MBC is stainless steel, which I use in a large glass Mason jar - no plastic here.)
Aside from the accessories I didn't need, this is a great little mixer, one I'd easily recommend to anyone.
