Braun PureMix Power Blender

The Braun PureMix Power Blender combines high-performance with a sleek and modern look. The 5-speed countertop blender pulverizes ice, purees vegetables, and whips up a batter with incredible ease. After using the blender, the jug and blade can go right in the dishwasher for a simple clean-up.



This blender has Braun's Smooth Crush blade system which is designed to work smoothly and efficiently. I was impressed by how quickly it was able to puree and blend ingredients. There are three different power settings, as well as three presets to use. The chop function runs for 12 seconds, the smoothie function for 70 seconds, and the crush ice function for 30 seconds intervals. 



I often struggle getting food processor and blender containers to attach to the base, but this blender makes it simple to do without even looking. When I place the jug over the base, it manages to secure itself without much work. 



The large glass jug is thermal-resistant so you don't need to worry about it shattering when you add hot ingredients. This is key when making a delicious pureed soup because you don't want to have to wait for it to cool down in order to finish making it! You can take the hot soup from the pot, puree it in a couple minutes, and pour the, still warm, soup back into a pot to finish and serve.



I love the look of this blender because it is modern and refined. The buttons are illuminated and easy to read, a far cry from the outdated pop-up buttons. Plus, you can choose from a white or black base for the blender.
