Braun MultiQuick 9 MQ9137XI Hand Blender, 700W with iMode and EasyClick Plus

The Braun MultiQuick 9 MQ9137XI combines plastic and stainless steel components, with a 20 fluid ounce plastic beaker included. Its 700W motor is corded, so it suits prep near an outlet rather than a cordless setup. The package also includes a whisk, puree masher and chopper with an ice-crush knife.

Quick overview

This is more than a blending wand: the MQ9137XI is supplied with several attachments for different kitchen tasks. Its iMode controls offer low, high and pulse settings, while Advanced SmartSpeed provides single-hand operation. ActiveBlade technology moves the blade up and down as you blend, and Braun says its PowerBell Plus shape and extra milling blade are intended to blend quickly with less splashing.

The advertised performance claim has a specific comparison: Braun states that Active PowerDrive can be up to 40% faster than the Braun MQ500 on pesto. That figure relates to that stated task and comparison, rather than every ingredient or recipe. If you are choosing between a basic immersion blender and a kit with more prep options, the included whisk, masher and chopper are the main reason to consider this set.

Who it’s for

The attachment range makes this a practical fit for cooks who want one motor unit for blending, whisking, mashing and chopping. For example, the wand can be used directly for a soup or sauce, while the included beaker offers a contained place to blend a smoothie. The low setting is described for softer ingredients, high for tougher ingredients, and pulse for chopping. The package also lists a 2cup chopper with an ice-crush knife, though the product information does not specify which foods or quantities are suitable for every attachment.

Customers describe the blender as powerful and straightforward to use, and some appreciate how quickly the attachments click into place. They also value the range of accessories and report that cleaning is easy. Feedback is not uniformly positive: some buyers find the safety lock frustrating, including reports that it locks when the blender stops. That is a reported user concern, not a stated performance specification, so consider whether a lock-based control would suit your routine.

Worth considering if you regularly switch between blending and other food-prep jobs and would use the included accessories. You may want to skip it if you specifically need a cordless blender, this model is listed as corded electric.

How to use it

Choose the attachment for the task, then connect it using the EasyClick Plus system. Use the wand for blending, the whisk for whisking, the masher for pureeing, or the chopper for chopping. Select low, high or pulse through iMode, using the mode that corresponds to the ingredient and task, SmartSpeed is designed for single-hand control. The included beaker can help keep small blending jobs contained, while the chopper provides a separate option for chopping tasks.

The kit’s flexibility is most useful when several of those jobs are part of the same meal. If you mainly need a simple wand for occasional blending, a more basic hand blender may cover that narrower use without a collection of attachments. The listed components make this set broader in scope, but the product details do not provide cleaning instructions for individual parts, so follow the supplied care guidance.

Final verdict

The MQ9137XI is a feature-rich hand blender set for someone likely to use more than the blending wand. Three power ranges, one-hand speed control and several included attachments give it a clear role in everyday food prep, from blending in the beaker to chopping with the separate accessory. Its corded design and reported frustration with the safety lock are worth weighing against that versatility. Choose it for the multi-attachment approach, a simpler or cordless format makes more sense if those extras or an outlet connection do not suit your kitchen.
