Just got this in the mail. It seems someone at Braun read your review, because they now sell the base model with a chopping accessory and two blades for it: an actual blade, and blunt “ice chopping blade”. Made myself a coarse snowcone with it, works well. However I’m a little bewildered by the implementation of accessories: every attachment has a gearbox to step down the max speed. Maybe also increases the torque? But the gearbox on every accessory is a significant source of noise. In particular the purée attachment is very loud- so much so that I wonder if the gearbox is broken. I wish the testing methodology included at least a note on the attachments!

Hey Aelius!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I looked into it and you’re right, this model does come with a food processing attachment which seems like it could be useful for chopping ice. Unfortunately, we no longer have this model in our inventory so we can’t do any further testing on any of the other accessories that came with it. We will take your feedback for future test methodology updates and we really appreciate your feedback as we rely on it to continuously improve our testing.

Thanks again and have a great day!
