So my old Braun minipimer finally died (it was about 25 years old). It was
simple-- a little blade whirring around inside of a metal guard with slots
in it at the end of a shaft. A large on/off switch (dead-man style) with
a speed dial on the top. Worked great (primary use: semi-pureeing
"country-style" soups or beans for ribollita, right there in the pan). So
I need a new one and I see there has been a proliferation of models (both
Braun and others, like Cuisinart).
Anyone here researched this?

Bamix is the way to go! My Braun 'liquidizer on a stick' is on the way
out after a similar life span, and the Bamix is the one I want. The
metal wand part comes off and it and all the disk bits are dishwasher
proof! I have several friends with this one who swear by it, have
used it quite a bit myself, and I love it.
