One-Handed vario control a simple turn of the vario control speed dial is all it takes to adjust the speed while you mix, and the touch of a button lets you switch between accessories.

I, still, had to have a good grip on the peanut butter jar, but not as tight as when I used the regular beater.The Braun 5100 offers a compact and more powerful alternative to the stand mixer (350-watt motor vs 325-watt on the stand mixer). From what I've read, the KA Artisan should be used for"occasional' breadmaking, suggesting it would not stand up long to twice-weekly outings. The single dough hook doesn't knead as effectively as two dough hooks. And who wants to be responsible for burning out his wife's 20-year old mixer? Attachments for every task multi-whisk, both whisk and beater in one, creates volume for light, airy mixtures. The sturdy dough hooks are perfect for homemade bread and pizza.

Edit: OK, had it a week now, have made bread three times and this morning whipped cream for a holiday pie. So far it does everything I've asked it to do and done it without difficulty. It feels lighter in the hand than the KitchenAid and Cuisinart hand mixes, probably because of how the motor sits. For us bread junkies, the dough hooks are longer than the KitchenAid and Cuisinart dough hooks which makes kneading very easy. Mu pain-de-mie from today is simply one of the best loaves I've turned out - the Braun gave me satin dough. I like that it has a three-year warranty (I was sure to register it) so if I run into an issue with the dough hooks, I'm covered. Neither the KitchenAid or Cuisinart lasted that long. I bought the extended protection plan because of how hard mixing peanut butter was on the old mixer. Half the mixing effort smartmix technology delivers an in-line vertical motor design that shifts the Weight of the mixer out of your hand and into the bowl. Mixing effort (mixing cake batter, external tests) compared to leading competitors.Another standout feature of the Braun MultiMix 5 is that an effort has been made to keep clean-up to an absolute minimum. The mixer has a completely sealed body, making it so that none of your mixture can seep inside the housing, and effectively wreak havoc inside. Instead, you'll have no trouble with wiping down the exterior of your mixer, and popping the attachments into your dishwasher (or washing them in soapy water if you prefer). How it compares I had to get a really, really, good grip on the jar and push the beater into the jar before I started up the mixer.

I don't use mixers for many tasks - pretty much bread dough and whipping cream. I'll be whipping cream later in the week to make Christmas pies. I think this is going to do just fine with whipping cream. It has a markedly different approach to corded convenience too. Whilst a flurry of hand mixers are opting to go completely cord free, this Braun mixer has an extra-long cord instead, to promote 'freedom of movement'. We put this mixer to the test in various conditions to see just how it performed, so that you have the most informed view of this product before you buy it. The design of this device is great. The vertical motor placement makes it easy to hold and the motor's weight helps it stay in the bowl while mixing. The dough hooks are long enough to provide a lot of stretch to the dough as it's being kneaded (and kneading is more about stretching than compressing). Long story short, I have pain-de-mie dough that has the texture of satin rising in the Pullman pan right now. I will get a very fine-crumbed, tender loaf from this.more power 350 watts of power beats the ingredients and the competition. Wattage and mixing effort (mixing cake batter, external tests) compared to leading competitors. Whatever remains after using the spatula after the last jar, use two fingers to get the rest off and eat it. It also offers a sensible alternative to less powerful hand mixers. The on-off switch is easy to reach, and the motor won't run unless the beaters/dough hooks are properly mounted. The speed dial is easy to reach with your thumb, so you don't have to turn the mixer off to changes speeds. Some would say you could press the beater-eject button while mixing - anything is possible - but it's not likely to happen. Just received this yesterday, first use this morning. After a hiatus of several years, I started making bread again this fall, and am now baking twice a week. My wife had encouraged me to use her KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, labeling it the gold standard of mixers. Takes up huge space on the counter, but is so heavy you don't want to get it out and put it away. In the past I had used 220-watt hand mixers from both KitchenAid and Cuisinart, and while they did fine at kneading, the effort caused the mechanism that secures the dough hooks in both mixers to fail, and the dough hooks kept falling out.

The Braun MultiMix 5 Hand Mixer has an extensive range of power levels to use when baking or mixing at home, but do you need them, and do they deliver the power they promise? Using a (one) dough hook, and getting a good grip on the jar, this is great for mixing natural peanut butter, including crunchy.With the signature Braun design and engineering, this lightweight hand mixer with soft-grip handle is slip-resistant, keeping you comfortably in control. Beat, whisk and knead all the ingredients that go into your favourite recipes with the MultiMix 5 Hand mixer. Its clever SmartMix technology places the weight in the bowl, not in your hand for up to 40% less effort while mixing*. It comes with a very powerful 750W motor so you can enjoy effortless baking creativity every time, that’s 50% more power compared to MultiMix 3. Clean-up is a snap. I won't put the dough hooks in the dishwasher, though I understand they could go in there if I wanted. The mixer is compact and doesn't take up a lot of cabinet space. I never pushed the mixing speed above 5 with the bread dough so there was a ton of power in reserve. Bread dough, to me, is the best measure of how a mixer will perform.
