My wife has a Braun since before we met and it rocks. Our 20 year anniversary is this June.
Ended up going with All-Clad, performed great for the trial blend.
All-Clad is solid.
We’ve had a couple of those cheap Cuisinarts last well over 5 years each with heavy use. They work quite well.
My Braun has held up well over the years. I wouldn’t say it’s amazing but it does what it’s supposed to.
All Clad sale has these for $49.99 for the stainless one, see other thread
