First a few words about the lack of mechanics:
Now we have January 2013. Although the device still works, but not as quiet as at the beginning. The sound level while kneading has become even louder than this when my power generator in the garden at full load (84 db). The cause of the crash making is very simple - as soon wears a sleeve bearing, the toothed belt moves at a somewhat higher load on to the next tooth, because the shaft that drives a dough hook, no longer just stands but is inclined (one-sided wear). Thus, the timing belt is engaged with the teeth of the drive wheel of the shaft no longer in full width and, as you can well imagine the idea, the belt is not correctly tensioned. First, using the support of the left shaft, then the holder of the right shaft (assuming you hold the racket as long off). At the latest after the device belongs on the scrap ... A simple remedy would be if the manufacturer the shafts fixed on both sides at least in gears and not just on one side ... The plain bearings you get, unfortunately, not as a replacement part and even if (z. B., this can be even milling o. ä.), then these .... pressed into the context of the shaft mount this purpose there is a star deduction.
Report to other advantages and disadvantages of the device:
When I bought the unit in 2009, missing a few accessories. I naturally turned to the seller and got charged about two weeks later by the manufacturer in the missing pieces. For this, there is also a star deduction.
The device has been buying us made a faithful service (at least twice a week great bread -. We are a slightly larger family). In the summer we have it now and again made a jam and sometimes even just dough. The bread recipes contained in the manual, we have tried almost all - are really good. The manual contains some errors, and those who have to use or baking results no effect (assuming you go to the cause with a clear sense approach).
Because of the short life of the device, I would if I had the opportunity to switch to a different device. But no other manufacturer offers bread Automate, the bread can bake up to a weight of 1.8 kg. My next breadmaker a Unold Backmeister extra will probably again be 68511.
Conclusion:
In principle, just right for a family unit. Would the manufacturers eliminate the errors in mechanics, I would even be willing to pay for the device more than just about EUR 100.00. The unit is EUR 149.00 (recommended retail price) clearly not worth it. Even approximately EUR 100.00 are overstated for the period between three and four years use something.
