Our Verdict

Braun MultiQuick 9

Smeg HBF02

The Braun MultiQuick 9 is better than the Smeg HBF02 for most purposes. The Braun is significantly sturdier and does a better job of processing fibrous ingredients, which is important for pureed soups and smoothies. The Smeg comes with a food processing bowl that makes it better-suited for recipes like nut butter, but it doesn't have a good build quality.
