The Braun MultiQuick 7 is a well-built immersion blender with a fairly simple design, making it very easy to clean. Like most immersion blenders, it's meant to process food directly in your pot or pan. It also can handle hot food without a problem and it has a touch-sensitive control trigger, so it's easy to adjust its speed with only one hand. It also comes with several tools and inserts such as a food processor, a masher, and a whisk attachment to help you get the most out of its unique design. It's not able to blend ice, though, and it really struggles to process harder or more fibrous food like nuts or kale. However, if you're using it on stewed fruits and veggies, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
