Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun M880 Multimix 4-in-1 Hand Mixer
Customer Review: AMAZED!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed this mixer for well over ten years and it is still working as beautifully as the day my father gave it to me.
For most of those ten years, I mainly used the mixer function as I was not adventurous enough to explore the additional options (and I don't make bread). Fortunately, I eventually did try out the chopper feature. Better late than never! But what REALLY rocks is the mini blender / puree-ing attachment. I recently "discovered" just how amazing it is as my little cat has developed oral cancer and, because she has lost her tongue mobility, I must feed her an almost liquid diet daily by syringe. I ventured to try the blender/pureeing attachment to mix up tuna and boiled chicken (not together!) for her, and cannot rate it highly enough! In this case, it is literally a lifesaver. And it's so easy and quick which is great since sometimes these days, I puree food for her several times a day.
Plus: although I hate washing dishes, I find clean-up of this tool amazingly easy and fast... and never feels like a chore (unlike with my big old heavy blender)!
It also ocurred to me that the blender / puree attachment is a perfect tool for making baby food (my husband and I are expecting our first baby), and I so mentioned this to a friend who has two babies and who makes her own baby food. She was so interested and impressed by what I was telling her about this mixer, that I began to suspect it must really be something special as compared with other such products on the market. So I thought I'd check out the Amazon reviews, and sure enough you all confirmed my hunch, with more than a hundred people awarding it 5 stars... Wonderful! And I couldn't resist adding my own 2 cents worth here...

And I especially wanted to flag it for people preparing food for patients who cannot swallow well.

A few reviewers cautioned that Braun is no longer making this item. I really hope that is not the case, as mine is far from giving up the ghost, but when / if it eventually does, I want another one just like it!
UPDATE, NOVEMBER 2009
I now have a baby daughter. This thing works like a DREAM for pureeing home-made baby food. LOVE IT.
Description of Braun M880 Multimix 4-in-1 Hand Mixer
Equipped with an exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor, this versatile appliance is a combination hand mixer and hand blender. For mixing, beating, and whipping, there are two cunningly designed beaters that produce volume while reducing splashing. For kneading, there's a strong dough hook, and for blending, there's an attachment that can be used in the accompanying 2-cup container (or any container) for small jobs like salad dressings. For chopping, the power unit attaches to another container with its own blades to make quick work of nuts, onions, hard cheeses, herbs, garlic, and meats. (The container's base serves as a snap-on plastic lid for storage.) The mixer/blender has three speeds and a power-pulse button for working through tough jobs. It stands upright on a nonskid base, and its power cord pivots to stay out of the way or can be locked in place. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defectsEquipped with an exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor, this versatile appliance is a combination hand mixer and hand blender.
