Tried the Braun The slicer and I must say that if you have very little room but need an appliance that's an all-in-one this would be it!
This blender is made of a sturdy construction with it being all-metal.  Love the design and the strength of the blade(s) can crush ice! 
The mashing attachment is a bit weaker than using one manually, however, it's still  very good. Love the slicer attachments as it can help cut down a lot of time plus the variable speed control's very helpful! This blender is great for many things from chopping, blending, and making tasty meals!
