I have the blender now since about 1.5 years, and this still performs very well his ministry (still standing and mix).
The workmanship is very good, only the rubber seal between cutting and glass containers (glass - very good was important to me when buying) came to me at first before something short-lived, but he still holds. Teu teu teu.
Now, unfortunately, comes hook blender has in addition to its functions (stand and mix) now have a function "learned".
I use this mixer almost every day and always clean it again and immediately after use.
Despite this, the mixer is now starting to go moldy, namely between recording foot of the container (plastic) and the actual glass container. These are probably screwed and I think somehow bonded. Between both now sitting of Gammel because with the use of which also every now and then something gets stuck. Unfortunately I can not disengage the two parts. Because I would probably break the plastic foot and with luck even cut my hands.
Unfortunately, you also have no real handle to separate these two parts, and I think that is not provided by the manufacturer. But there is already a shortage, because the place would be "easy" must completely sealed.
Too bad, because I have to throw away a functional device now. At the next mixer, I make sure that this is completely dismantled. Top with a container made entirely of glass.
