Finally I have one

[petek]

It's been years in the waiting but I finally found a sought after Braun MX 32 blender for my small app collection. The mixers I've come across and they also have a blender attachment so that could be part of the reason that maybe the stand alone blender wasn't popular.

PeteK,  channel 5 tonight  on their" will it work" segment is testing  a "vitamix against the new "NINJA".   I will link the story . alr

Congratulations! I have one too. I think they are performing very well, especially considering the 400 Watts motor. No lumps in your smoothie! But don't put too much in the jar, or it flows over.

Mechanical dial.... I love it!

Congratulations!

It is wonderful to find something you have wanted for a long time.

My cousin had a toy version of that blender. It was just the coolest thing.
It had two speeds and worked really well.

One thing still missing is this coffee maker. I've never run across one of them either. I have the coffee grinders and the table fan already.

 

[petek]

CR rates those Ninja's as high and higher than the Vitamix.. surprising for something that sells for around $39 on sale all the time.

That coffeemaker reminds me of a Lego Person's head! Congrats on your blender, I don't ever recall seeing a blender like that.

 

[foraloysius]

Oh goodness Pete, I wish I could find one of those coffeemakers. They are the real thing for Braun collectors! I have a later model, the Braun Traditional, but it's not nearly as pretty.

For the Braun blender: Coffee/spice mill needed?

I happen to have the spice mill here, I have no use for it.
Would you like it?
It is basically the same as the blender base ring, yet the blades are somewhat different. Then there is this glass dome over it, a "Braun" logo on top.
Unfortunately the threads in the glass jar have a chunk off and out, still that does not make a difference while working.

Just mail me, should you like it at all.

Wasn't that coffeemaker called an Aromaster or something like that?

 

[petek]

Thanks for the spice/coffe/grinder offer but I already have that piece

I think the coffee maker was called the Aromaster.. it'll be a tough find as well. But one will show up eventually, things always do.

When I was a kid these Braun appliances always looked so sleek and modern compared to ordinary stuff, because they were. And they still look completely up to date

Braun no longer sells small kitchen appliances in N.America, just electric shavers.

I don't think I've ever seen a blender from Braun, I vaguely remember them in the department store.

 

That coffeemaker is sweet! It is a Lego-person head!  LOL  I didn't realize Braun didn't sell any other small appliances now, other than the razor.  They always had sleek and interesting designs.  I've seen lots of these coffeemakers, they seemed to be very popular.

 

[swestoyz]

Pete - the mixer is awesome!  Braun really did have some pretty sweet designs. 

 

Greg - My folks bought one of those Braun coffee makers that you posted when they were new.  It was apparently a 'big deal', considering they were replacing a worn out Mr. Coffee from the 70's!  LOL

I need a house like this for my Braun appliances

[davey7]

That house is great! Totally appropriate for Braun Appliances!

 

[foraloysius]

IIRC the Aromaster Pete posted was the first, the Traditional I posted was their second model and the Aromaster Greg posted was number three. That model is still available although Braun came out with other models too. This is the latest model, the Braun Caféhouse.
