The device looks visually good and makes a stable, solid impression. A stable glass jug, 1000W power, freely selectable speed - that can not have some Mixer higher price range. After a few days use, I can say that I am very satisfied with the device - and I hope it stays that way. He crushed about everything good and fast, what you are to feed him. Here the sound of this power is also bearable. However, a Katstrophe is the 'instruction manual'. It consists mainly of warnings', inter alia on several occasions that the mentally retarded can not operate the unit. Almost want to assume that people have created from this group of people the instruction manual. No indication of the individual functions, let alone further explanations or even recipes, as they already finds for promotional reasons for brand manufacturers. Were it not for the reports in this thread, I had the device probably returned angrily. Because it opened up first nothing. That you have to turn the jug with some violence continued until the two 'almost invisible - markings are one above the other and it' 'does, should have an indication in a manual click be important. So one can only hope that as many return the 'non-functioning' device, so that the manufacturers make about their time non-manual thinking. But I want to evaluate the device and not the instructions I give full credit for this really very good mixer. For those who get along well without guidance on this unit, it is a financially worthwhile tip.
