Braun MQ9137XI MultiQuick 9 Hand Blender with iMode Technology Review (2026)

Motor and iMode control

This model runs on a 700-watt motor, Braun's most powerful hand blender motor in the MultiQuick range, aimed at blending thicker soups, sauces, and batters more quickly than lower-wattage sticks. Speed is managed through Braun's iMode technology, which offers three controlled power ranges, low, high and pulse, rather than a single variable dial, giving more repeatable results between batches since you are choosing from set ranges instead of guessing at hand pressure each time. For meal preppers running the same soup or sauce recipe multiple times a week, that consistency helps results come out the same way each time rather than varying with how hard the blender happens to be pressed.

Six included attachments

The MQ9137XI ships with six attachments: a 500 mL chopper, an ice crush knife, a stainless steel whisk, a puree and masher accessory, a detachable blending wand, and a 20 oz BPA-free beaker marked in both milliliters and fluid ounces. This is a fuller kit than Braun's mid-range MultiQuick 7 models, adding the dedicated masher and ice crush knife as extra tools, useful for meal preppers who also want to mash potatoes or crush ice for smoothies without a separate appliance. All the attachments use Braun's ActiveBlade technology on the blending wand for the same increased cutting surface found across the MultiQuick line.

Size and handling

The unit measures roughly 2.7 inches long, 2.7 inches wide and 16.1 inches tall, and weighs about 2.2 pounds, keeping it light enough for single-hand operation during longer blending sessions, which Braun promotes as Advanced SmartSpeed single-hand use. That light weight matters for meal preppers blending large batches of soup directly in a stockpot, since a heavier blender becomes tiring to hold steady over several minutes of continuous use. The corded design means it stays plugged in during use, so counter or stovetop proximity to an outlet is worth considering before buying if your kitchen layout has limited nearby outlets.

Price versus mid-range models

As the top model in Braun's MultiQuick range, the MQ9137XI costs more than the MultiQuick 7 series, and the listing itself does not spell out every accessory included, so it is worth double-checking the exact attachment count before buying if a specific tool like the masher is the deciding factor for your kitchen. The added ice crush knife and masher accessory are the main functional additions over the MultiQuick 7, alongside the stronger 700-watt motor, and those extras are the primary reasons to pay more here rather than choosing a mid-range Braun hand blender with a similar core wand and chopper setup.

Who should buy it

This model fits meal preppers who blend soups, sauces or purees frequently enough to want Braun's strongest hand blender motor and its fullest attachment set, including the masher and ice crush knife not included on mid-range models in the same lineup. It is a good match for batch cooking sessions involving mashed potatoes, pureed soups, and smoothies made from crushed ice within the same weekly kitchen routine. Anyone who blends only occasionally, or does not need the masher or ice crush functions specifically, will likely get similar day-to-day results from a mid-range Braun hand blender at a noticeably lower price point.
