Braun M880 MultiMix Food Processor

Pros: Cuts down on the number of appliances you need
Cons: Haven't found one yet

I am always a little skeptical about these all-in-one devices, but in this case, I’m really impressed. The Braun Multimix really does combine a hand mixer, bread kneader, sauce puree(er) and chopper all in one unit successfully.

I went over...

Pros: size; convenience, ease of cleaning
Cons: not as powerful as a real mixer or food processor

When my husband and I first got married, one of my best friends gave us the Braun Hand-Held Mixer/Food Processor as a wedding gift. Since we were living in a rather small apartment at the time, space was definitely a factor in the number of kitchen...

Pros: Does several jobs, less need for other gadgets.
Cons: It is heavy, and not at all comfortable, hurts wrist, pulse is hard to push.

I was searching a couple of months ago for something to use in my soap making business. I normally ...

Pros: Multi-tasking made easy
Cons: none noted

I'm not sure of the model number of the one I have. It's the one with variable speeds, a whisk attachment, a covered container, and a food processor attachment.

I got it on the strong recommendation of a friend who cooks for his 8 person...

Pros: very easy to use
Cons: wish it was cordless

I received my BRAUN Multimix M 800 a few years ago as a Christmas gift. My mother-in-law at the time asked me what I would like for Christmas. I told her I would love a hand blender. Boy was I surprised to open this wonderful gift! This Multimix not only...

Pros: Easy to use, great attachments, easy to clean
Cons: have not found anything I don't like

I just discovered the best mixer.
I was using the mixer that we received for a wedding present, 19 years ago and thought it was a nice mixer.
For Christmas I received the Braun M880 multimix mixer. It sure put my out of date mixer to...

Pros: Versitility, durability
Cons: None

The Braun mixer performs the duties of a blender and hand mixer beautifully. Since I own a breadmaker, I have yet to use the dough hooks.
When purchasing a hand mixer I look for power and durability. This mixer has both. It mixes large batches...

Pros: light weight, easy to clean
Cons: none

Our family likes deserts but sometimes getting the big mixer out of the bottom of the cabinet to make them is just too much trouble. I find the Braun hand blender just the right mixer-blender to match my busy life style. This small blender comes with...

Pros: Food Processor, Hand held blender, and mixer all in one!
Cons: It died far too soon!

The title says it all, I LOVED my multimixer. We've blended up loads of baby food in the 6 years that we've had it. But then all of a sudden, I lost speeds 1 and 2, I guess I can still use it for the blender and processor attachments. I'm so sad to ...

Pros: it is a wonderful and handy appliance while it lasts
Cons: doesn't last very long:-(

well,I was visiting the store one day when I stumbled against this product,it was one of those mistakes of my lives!

The gadgets came in handy very much and I used it a lot,I have admit the idea is great and I didn't have to buy any other...

Pros: Simple to use, compact and fast
Cons: You have to be careful to pulse the mixer or the motor will burn out.

This Braun Multimix M880 hand blender was given to me as a gift and we have been so grateful to own it. It is so easy to use, easy to handle and easy to clean. It goes right in the pot while it is on the stove. The attachments save you money because...

Pros: Multi-functions. Great price, Great quality, dependable, durable, easy and fun to use.
Cons: NONE

Bruan is certainly a respected name in small appliances. Their products are dependable, durab;e, and very functional. I needed a new hand mixer and a hand blender. Looking at the various products out of the market I was looking at spending $60 or more...

Pros: powerful enough for most jobs, sleek, no air holes to suck in flour
Cons: not for dense dough, bread, choc chip etc.

We bought this to replace a 20 year old no name hand mixer that had been through the mill. Many Chocolate chip cookie doughs. Tough on any mixer.

I really like this mixer and the various attachments. But to say it will do bread dough or chocolate chip cookie dough on a regular basis is a mistake. It's good for maringues, pancakes, cakes, etc. The "mini processor" does a good job, with patience, with a pie crust.

It has 3 speeds, plus pulse. The switch on ours failed in 2 positions. It's closing in on 3 years old.

I've since found out that in spite of the fact that this mixer was discontinued by Braun in 98, it is still for sale, but unsupported by Braun.
I bought it in late 99.

The "food processor" top failed at the end of the fifth year. I'd say the interior gears are plastic and they have fused.

Sad the failure rate of parts of this mixer in 5 years when you consider the older one it replaced ran for 20 years doing heavier work.

Pros: Neat, multi-purpose attachments.
Cons: Poor craftsmanship, cheap materials.

I have had my M880 Braun Multimix for three years and consider myself a very light user of it. Within the first five times I used it, a piece of plastic broke loose in the inside of the machine and has clattered around ever since. Thereafter, the slide which covers an attachment port did not spring back into position. But it still worked.

(I shared my frustration with a friend of mine who told me that she went through two M880s, the same thing happening with each. Finally she switched to a different brand.)

This month, the speed control switch on my M880 fried. It was gradual, but I now only have power at the third and pulse settings (which are both the same --highest-- speed). And with one of the attachments, I have no power at all. The machine is basically useless to me now.

I can't quite give up on the great name of Braun, but based on my terrible experience with this Multimixer, I would never buy another of their cheaper electronic items.

Pros: Neat, multi-purpose attachments.
Cons: Poor craftsmanship, cheap materials. Pulse hard to use. Weight too far forward; feels heavy.
