Braun TriForce Power Blender
A triangular pitcher design promises better blending. We test Braun's flagship high-performance machine.
Thinking Outside the Circle
Most blender pitchers are round or square, but the Braun TriForce utilizes a unique triangular jug. Braun claims this shape guarantees faster and finer blending by redirecting ingredients down into the blade area, eliminating the dead zones where food often gets stuck.
The TriForce is packed with technology, featuring an 'iTextureControl' dial. This allows you to select not just the program (like Smoothie or Soup), but also the desired texture (Smooth, Medium, or Coarse). This gives you 18 different automated blending combinations.
Texture Control in Action
The texture control is remarkably effective. If you select 'Soup' and 'Coarse', the blender will pulse and blend just enough to heat the liquid while leaving chunks of vegetables intact. If you select 'Smooth', it will pulverize it into a silky puree. It offers a level of nuance missing from many high-end blenders.
- Pros: Unique texture control settings, triangular jug works effectively, powerful 1600W motor, includes a dedicated soup heating program.
- Cons: The triangular jug is slightly awkward to pour from, takes up a large footprint.
- Best For: Cooks who want precise control over the texture of their salsas, soups, and smoothies.
Powered by a 1600-watt motor, it handles tough tasks easily. The blades spin at up to 45,000 RPM, ensuring excellent pureeing capability. The base is sleek and modern, featuring an illuminated touchscreen that is easy to wipe clean.
Final Verdict
The Braun TriForce is highly innovative. The texture control settings actually work, making it an excellent choice for chefs who demand versatility from their appliances.
