Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 vs. Braun MultiQuick-5: Average vs. Best to Buy

Overall Verdict

Overall, we think highly of the Braun MultiQuick-5 over the Chefman 6-in-1. 

Although both come with a fairly standard design including a mid-range motor and 2-prong stainless steel blade, the Braun MultiQuick-5 somehow outperformed the competition in the tests of making soups, smoothies, and nut milk. It blended faster, produced smoother consistency, and worked more consistently. In the remaining tests, both shared the same efficiency, but smooth acceleration and comfortable handling make the Braun MultiQuick-5 more satisfying to use. 

The Chefman 6-in-1 is an average immersion blender and not without its flaws. Unlike the competition, it creates quite a bit of suction when reaching the bottom of the beaker. While its buttons are responsive, they’re relatively stiff for those with weaker hands or long nails.
