What is the difference between the MQ50202M and the MQ50001M?
Both share a 500W motor, 21-speed touch controls, stainless steel blade, and the same physical dimensions and weight. The MQ50202M is priced higher, typically because it is sold with additional accessories. If you only need the wand itself, the base model may suit you just as well.
Can this handle frozen fruit in a smoothie?
The 500W motor can process soft frozen fruit, particularly when combined with liquid. Very hard frozen items or large ice chunks may strain any immersion blender, including this one. Adding liquid first and cutting fruit into smaller pieces gives better results.
Does the touch control work with wet hands?
Touch controls on kitchen appliances can sometimes be less responsive when wet. Braun designs these controls for kitchen use, but if you are concerned, consulting the product documentation or user reviews for hands-on feedback on this specific point is a good idea.
