Our Verdict

Braun MultiQuick 5

Crux Artisan Series Cordless Immersion Blender

The Crux Artisan Series Cordless Immersion Blender is battery-powered, and the Braun MultiQuick 5 is a conventional plug-in immersion blender. The Braun is better for most uses since it makes a smoother puree with fibrous fruits and vegetables. It's also quieter and sturdier. However, you might like the Crux if you want to be able to easily move around your kitchen since it's cordless. It also has a smaller motor body that can be more comfortable to hold.
