Braun MX 2050 Power Max Jug Blender Review

A good many blender reviews rate Braun PowerMax MX2050 as the best budget blender.

Having a price range between US $45 and $60, this might appeal to those on a tight budget. However, before deciding to purchase this blender, you might want to know how well this blender works. So, a quick glance at these mini points might help you in making a decision.

Braun MX2050 Blender Review – The Good

1) Versatility – With 5 different speeds, you can basically blend anything and in any texture of your preference too! Try chunky salsa, smooth smoothies, favorite protein shakes and your kid’s milkshakes. Name it, blend it :) Don’t forget to use the pulse mode too. It’s pretty effective when you make a last minute decision to improvise or to give it a final touch.

2) Quieter compared to other blenders – For those who have noise phobia, this feature is very appealing especially if you are one who craves for late night smoothies or early morning shakes. However, do bear in mind that there are some reviews that disagree with this. It is good to know that it works just as good as other blenders which are more expensive than this since this blender also has 500 watts of power and strong blades.

3) Simple and Fast – Being on the go, this blender suits our needs. With stainless steel blades, sturdy glass jug and its powerful motor, the mixture is thoroughly and quickly blended.

4) Easy Clean-up – Although it may be in white, this blender is easy to clean. Many parts can go in the dishwasher (for example blades, jug, and lid) while all you need is to wipe the base by hand with a damp towel. The good thing about this blender is that the parts are easily removed for cleaning. So, by removing the bottom, you can have easy access to the glass jar. Alternatively, put some water and detergent in the jar and use the pulse settings. Worn out for the day? Just fill the jar with water until it reaches the 4th cup mark. Next, dash in some dish-washing liquid and click the ‘Pulse/Clean’. It self-cleans!

5) Strong and Firm – One of the main praises about this blender is its comforting handle. Fits like a glove with a comforting strong assurance. Its design makes it easy to use too. The control’s large knob enables one to grasp it easily to turn it.

6) A looker – It’s not just its color. Notice the rounded triangular shape too. This design is convenient too! You can pour from any position and pour in liquid through the drip holes while blending to save time and hassle. The triangular-shaped, snug-fitting lid has rubber inserts at the corners. Looks cute? It does more than that. It makes your job easier since you don’t need to sweat and puff while trying to remove it.

7) Safe – Even though this is a budget blender, it does not regard your safety too. With its safety interlock system, rest at ease since blending can only be done when it is in its locked position. No freaky cases of self-blending!

Braun MX2050 Blender Review – The Bad

1) Long Term Durability Problems – This is the probably the biggest and most common complaint by many blender reviews. Definitely a no-no for heavy duty ice crushing.

2) Clear Cap at the Top does not Seal Well – If you are blending at a high speed, be ready for liquid to either leak out or splash at the top when you first blend something. A solution would be to put a kitchen towel over the lid while it is washing but you would have to wash the towel yourself. So, it will not be much of a time saver.

3) White Plastic Piece at the base Melts – One user who blended baby food (grains and dried legumes) at a high speed for up to 2 minutes noticed that the plastic piece at the bottom of the pitcher melted. Normally, blenders are designed to withstand high speed blending. At speed 5, some other users have commented that they notice a burning smell coming from the motor which might explain the melted plastic piece.

4) Loses Power in the Middle of a Blend – Sometimes, the blender is not powerful enough to continue blending at that same level or same speed in the middle of a blend. As a result, there is a lack of consistency since it bogs down towards the end of the blend.

Best Budget Blender

All in all, if you are in tight budget, you might want to consider Braun MX 2050 as your best budget blender. However, the main point in buying a blender is to blend things. If you love blending frozen stuff, this blender might not be the one for you since it cannot withstand blending frozen things for a long time. Additionally, buying replacements repeatedly when it continues to break may be a very costly blender if all the costs are taken into consideration.

Nonetheless, if you are looking for a short term blender that have versatility, quiet, simple, fast, easy clean up, strong, look good, and safe, then this should be your pick. The cheapest that I could find was at Amazon at a price of $ 44.99 – Braun PowerMax MX2050
