# Moulinex or Braun Blender? The Real Difference Before You Buy > The Bottom Line: If you want a larger jug, a lower price, and a model stated to be made in Egypt, get the **Moulinex** Blendforce LM4231EG (800W, 2l). If your top priority is a quieter sound, get the **Braun** JB3273, and verify its attachments in the contents list. If you want a glass jug, the **Moulinex** LM4358EG is cheaper, and the **Braun** JB3060 has significantly more reviews. **4 min read** ## Who makes **Moulinex** and who makes **Braun**? **Moulinex** belongs to the French Groupe SEB, which also owns Tefal. In Egypt, the group formed a partnership with Zahran Group in 2013 and has a factory in Borg El Arab near Alexandria that makes small appliances, including **Moulinex** blenders. Not every **Moulinex** model is made here, but the sales page for the LM4231EG states that the country of origin is Egypt. For kitchen appliances, **Braun** has been under a permanent license since 2012 to the Italian company De'Longhi, which also owns Kenwood, while the brand itself still belongs to Procter & Gamble. The sales page for the JB3273 states that the manufacturer is De'Longhi Kenwood in China. This means **Braun** and Kenwood blenders in Egypt come from the same group. ## Warranty and Maintenance in Egypt This is the most important practical difference. The **Moulinex** LM4231EG sales page includes a 1-year warranty, and **Moulinex** agents and branches are available in many governorates. For **Braun**, some sales pages state "international warranty", and we could not reach an official source specifying **Braun**'s agent and maintenance centers in Egypt. An international warranty might not be accepted at all maintenance centers here. - Ask the seller: Is the warranty local or international, and who handles repairs?- Keep the receipt and the box until the warranty expires.- Amazon sometimes offers an extended warranty from another company; read its terms before paying. ## Power, Jug, and Attachments In the category we are comparing, both are 800W, so the difference is not in the motor. The **Moulinex** LM4231EG has a 2l jug and comes with a grinder and a grater, making it suitable for a large family. The **Braun** JB3273 has a 1.5l jug, and the attachments vary depending on the version: grinders on some pages and smoothie bottles on others. For glass, both are 1.75l: the **Moulinex** LM4358EG has the same attachments as its plastic counterpart, while the **Braun** JB3060 sales page does not mention grinders. These **Moulinex** models have two speeds and a pulse function, and the **Braun** JB3273 also has speeds and a pulse function. In daily use, the pulse button is more important than the number of speeds: it crushes ice and chops garlic and onions without turning them into paste. Regardless of the brand, do not run the blender for more than 1 minute continuously for heavy tasks. ## Sound and Daily Work The **Braun** JB3273 sales page markets it as quiet, and many reviews for the **Moulinex** LM4231EG state that it has a quiet sound and good build quality. This is based on company claims and buyers, not decibel measurements. If noise matters a lot to you, read the latest reviews for the exact model you are buying. ## Spare Parts and Frequent Complaints - **Moulinex:** The most common complaint regarding the LM4231EG is that some people received a 600W model instead of an 800W one. Check the label under the motor as soon as it arrives, and return it if it does not match.- **Braun:** The same model can be sold under different names and versions (like JB3272 and JB3273), so read the contents list, not just the title. Cheaper **Braun** models like PowerBlend 1 have weak ratings on Amazon Egypt.- **Spare Parts:** For **Braun**, there are sales pages for parts like the motor gear and jug base gasket for Tribute models. For **Moulinex**, ask the service center about the jug and blade before buying an older model. ## How to Choose in the End? - **Large family and reasonable budget:** **Moulinex** LM4231EG.- **Quieter sound and smaller jug:** **Braun** JB3273, provided you verify the attachments included in the box.- **Want glass at the lowest price:** **Moulinex** LM4358EG.- **Want glass with the highest number of reviews:** **Braun** JB3060.

There are Moulinex models manufactured in Egypt at the Groupe SEB factory in Borg El Arab. The sales page for the LM4231EG states that the country of origin is Egypt, but other models state China or France, so check the country of origin on the specific model's page. ### Is Braun German? Braun is a brand of German origin, but its kitchen appliances have been made since 2012 under license by De'Longhi. The sales page for the JB3273 on Amazon Egypt states that the country of origin is China. ### Which one has a better warranty in Egypt? The Moulinex LM4231EG page includes a 1-year warranty, and Moulinex has agents in many governorates. For Braun, some pages state "international warranty", so ask the seller before purchasing about who will repair the blender here. ### Glass or plastic blender jug? Glass does not scratch and does not retain colors or odors, but it is heavier. Plastic is lighter and safer if dropped, but over time it can become cloudy and scratched. If you grind spices and make a lot of tomato sauce, glass is better. --- Source: https://hanakoleah.com/en/article/moulinex-vs-braun-blender-egypt Edited by: Marwa Mohamed Last updated: 2026-10-30
