Two Broken
When I purchased my first PowerMax 2050, I was praising consumer reports for their article that guided me to buy the Braun over the $500 Vita-Mix blender. The Braun was so much better than our $12 Wal-Mart blender.
My wife and I used it to make smoothies nearly every day for about six...

Good bargain for light use blender.
I bought this blender on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated - I wanted a blender that could power through ice for mixed drinks! And... at first, I thought it was about worthless... I would put ice and mixers in and blend and it seemed like it took forever and ever and ever and it STILL had... Read full review »
Plastic gears a serious design flaw.
I bought this blender because of its top rating by "a leading consumer magazine." My wife and I wanted to use it to make smoothies from frozen fruits and juices.
The machine worked flawlessly for a few months, but the plastic gears that kicked the pitcher to the base then broke.

Run away from this product, don't look back!!!
I purchased this blender through a rewards program thinking it would be a great product, after all I have purchased Braun products before and have been very satisfied with Braun quality and performance. The Blender performed really well while it worked. I make frozen smoothies on almost a daily... Read full review »
Don't Even Bother
All the positives you read are true - this is a great blender. But don't even bother to buy one. The coupling gear on the power base gets stripped very fast, rendering the thing useless. I bought a second one and the same thing happened. Then I bought a replacement part (after waiting like six... Read full review »
A big disappointment!
Based on a recomendation in a Cook's Illustrated magazine, I purchased this blender. I only used it a dozen times or so and for fairly easy processing. Then, one day, it would not run and hasn't worked since.
I called Braun and they were not helpful, suggesting I get a new base for $4o! That...

DESIGN FLAWS
I've had 2 of these blenders (2nd was a replacement). Same problems with both. The teeth break on the bottom of the blade mechanism, and worse, the gear in the base that is supposed to turn the blades, slips. Same blenders, same exact problems. I contacted a repair facility, and they sent me a... Read full review »
Design Flaw Dooms Excellent Blender
Like many others, I bought the Braun MX2050 based on good ratings from Consumer Reports and cooksillustrated.com. I had read on the CR website that the blender had previously had problems but that Braun had made improvements that resulted in a more durable blender. I noted that the blender I...

Stay away
This blender works great, until the plastic drive coupling breaks. Ours broke, we ordered a replacement, and it broke after using it 3 times. We're not hard on blenders, and we won't be buying Braun products any more. Read full review »
Don't Waste Your Money
We purchased this blender based on reviews on line and in "a major consumer" magazine. After using the blender less than 10 times, it died.
Braun insisted that we bring it to a repair shop. After the second trip to the repair shop (they didn't fix the problem the first time), the repair...
