The main reason for the purchase was ultimately primarily the good reviews on Amazon and the relatively cheap price. Which accessories does my Multiquick was clear relatively quickly: a shredder for herbs etc. was needed, everything else was for me personally not necessary.
I must say that the Braun Multiquick 5 Pesto did not let me to this day. Without making any problems he does the job. He mashed without injections, he has to really crush force to very hard or frozen stuff that cleaning is (also thanks to the dishwasher) very easy and there is finally (stainless steel thanks be) no more unsavory stains. The Braun Multiquick has several speeds, I have until now always one suitable for my needs, found, however, requires that at the beginning quite a bit of patience and practice.
The crusher works for the production of pesto or for chopping frozen fruit etc. properly. There is nothing to complain about.
I feel the Multiquick 5 not noisy as excessive. A blender is of course always a bit noisy, I personally do not mind, I think it is in the nature of things. My Multiquick 5 I run really not for a longer period and therefore has probably disturbed anyone in my family.
Finally a solid stick blender which, although considerably more expensive than no-name products, but its price is definitely worth it!
