I had to mash looking for a blender to make a pumpkin soup. I then read some reviews and got myself suggestions from friends. The majority recommended me the Braun Multiquick. And I have not regretted it. Especially handy, I find that you can do the blender in the dishwasher - by the simple and good processing it is completely clean, so no need to make any manual filigree work. The puree was incredibly easy. Even bigger and harder pumpkin pieces I've gotten so beautiful velvety soft in seconds (!) That I (and my guests were well!) Am very excited. The additional parts I have not used, but think it's great that you can get good quality and then also additional devices for very little money.
