The MultiQuick 9 by Braun is such a nifty tool to have because it's multiple tools in one. It's a powerful hand blender, yes, but the other attachments mean it can do so much more than that. Tools include a beaker, whisk, chopper, masher, jug blender/ice crusher, and food processor. Wow! Having one tool be able to do all these things with such a small size frees up so much counter space. And it packs a lot of power, as it features Active PowerDrive Technology, with its high-performance 700-watt motor that results in up to 40-percent faster performance. The chopper can quickly chop herbs, cheese, vegetables, nuts and even ice with the designated blade. I love using this tool because it's so versatile.
