Review on Braun MQ7035X 3-in-1 Immersion Hand Blender, 500W Stainless Steel Stick Blender, Variable Speed, 2-Cup Food Processor, Whisk, Beaker, High Quality Faster, Finer Blending, MultiQuick by Ruth Reyes

I bought this hand blender from Braun for two purposes: making sauces and whipping smoothies. That's great in the first case, but not so good in the second case if you're using frozen fruit. Blender overheats when making frozen fruit smoothies - it especially dislikes frozen bananas. It just doesn't have enough power to cut through them and the blade will get stuck and the motor will overheat and shut down until it cools down. Still, I make a lot of sauces and this one will come in handy. For smoothies, I use a 1000W Ninja Personal Blender.
