I have been using the Braun vario for about 5 years. The thing is indestructible. I use it for everything. It came with 3 heads a whip, a blender, and a small food processor. The only thing is I don't think they make it anymore. This one has all of the attachments I have but the wattage is low. Look for something that is 280 or above.

Immersion Blender
I have a braun also, and it's worked for at over 6 years without a problem. I think the latest model of it is called the multiquick.

Shoot, I just watched a DVR of that Cook's Illustrated show yesterday, and they tested immersion blenders. If I didn't have that old man's disease of CRS, I'd tell you that.....hmmmm, somebody won
....think it was.....it was Kitchenaid, I believe...the winner was about $59, and it hung with the Brauns that were $90-100. You've probably got this in the written version of CI too, but it said all were passable, and the few they recommended were due to their ability to puree veggies well.

If you get CI in your area and want to see it (I think mine is on the public tv station), the episode is the one in which they make Marinara sauce, and taste test canned tomatoes. (Reading this, I apparently have waaaay too much time on my hands).

That's the same one I have. I picked it up at Sams on sale for $20.

I have the Braun as well. Its worked great for 5 years. My buddy has a Waring commercial. The torque is amazing and if you are doing large stock pot full if soups sauce etc its the way to go.

I have a Braun and a Kitchen Aid and they both work great so either way you won't go wrong.
Between them, I believe that the Kitchen Aid is the better of the two and will probably last longer, but time and use will tell.
