Breaks easily - don't buy, trust me.

Pros Heavy duty glass jar.
Cons Cheap plastic part is a spoiler. They need to fire the engineer.
Recommended it? No

Cheap plastic base breaks. Promised a replacement, but it is over a month without showing up. Customer service (oxymoron) says it is now on back order. Read full review »

Plastic gears a serious design flaw.

Pros Does a good job before it breaks. Very fine customer service.
Cons The plastic gearing system should be redesigned or replaced.
Recommended it? No

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.

Nice product

Pros Glass Jar, powerful , rather quite and nice looking
Cons A bit expensive. But performance justifies it.
Recommended it? Yes

I considered buying this based primarily on a Consumer Reports recommendation. I also read reviews on Amazon and here. Most were positive however, there was some concern about a flimsy plastic assembly of cutting blade.

I am glad to report that it has worked out pretty well for it. We... Read full review »

Bad News on Braun MX2050--gear broke for me, too.

Pros Every feature great other than the drive gear. PLEASE FIX!
Cons Drive gear failed in two months of every-other-day light use.
Recommended it? No

Me too. I bought the Braun MX2050 PowerMax blender two months ago (Dec 17, 2005) based on the Consumer Reports that the problem with the plastic drive gear had been fixed. No luck. A mere two months of use every couple of days making breakfast smoothies with frozen fruit and liquid and one of the... Read full review »

Pros it looks nice and performs well when it actually works
Cons breaks down, cheaply built
Recommended it? No

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 »

Great Blender!

Pros Very good, works great, reliable
Cons None after 7 years.
Recommended it? Yes

We purchased this blender about 7 years ago and it is still going strong. Only recently have I had to have the base gearing replaced, and now also I will need to purchase a replacement for the cutting blade. And not because of the cutting blade itself, but because the gears on the cutting blade... Read full review »

Don't Waste Your Money

Pros Cheap price
Cons Cheap construction, non existent customer service.
Recommended it? No

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... Read full review »

Pros Grinds ice in a moment! Top pick of Consumer Reports!
Cons Nothing obvious; a personal choice not to dishwash rubber cap & gasket.
Recommended it? Yes

My husband and I have been struggling with our nice looking blender with the retro chrome beehive base, because it just couldn't crush ice. I love ice cream drinks (like a "Grasshopper") but it was really annoying to come across these chunks of ice in my drink.

We finally decided, "enough... Read full review »

Hmmmm, thought this one was the answer...

Pros It's powerful motor makes smooth smoothies, but...
Cons Gear in jar broke within three months; contents splash through vent holes in lid.
Recommended it? No

I bought the Braun Powermax MX2050 Blender because we make 2-4 fruit smoothies every day, the basis of which are frozen bananas, not ice. This has destroyed a couple of blenders pretty quickly. From experience I trust the Braun brand, so went with this model that has a powerful motor.

Great unit, except ...

Pros Large glass jar with good mixing results, powerful motor
Cons coupling between jar and motor base breaks easily, form of glass jar improvable
Recommended it? No

Reading the positive review at EPINIONS, I decided to go with the Braun MX2050 as replacement for my current Cusinart mixer. I am a freak of Smoothies and blended frozen drinks, and the Cusinart I had before did a very bad job there.

Let's take a closer look on the features:
