Review for Smoothie fans ....

Smoothie fans, or those who want to be there, watch out!
The Moulinette looks good, and you can make super smoothies by mixing jug, as long as you heed the following:
No to large frozen ingredients blocks or hard fruit / vegetables to use, and always give enough fluid.

However, the Moulinette than Smoothie Maker / Blender following disadvantage:
It falls directly at the initial start up (without filling the mixer jug) that there is an abrasion on the black seal.
Now it is so that the abrasion is structurally "thrown" down and can not get into Mixgut, although it comes from the strong abrasion after the third use to leak, which you can then recognized by the fact that of the transparent base liquidiser smoothie splash settle.
Do not worry, it does not come to the big mess, like other failed constructed mixers described, only to tender Sprekeln within the (luckily down transparent!) Devices essay :-)
Just I do not understand that you have here the mixing jug is not at least a few drops of seal fat donated at Moulinex, to counteract the wear and therefore the leak from the outset.

Have the area around the sealing ring (in a newly ordered equipment, the other, leaking declined) now even with kitchen silicone grease OKS Multi silicone grease for the care and maintenance of coffee machines, food-safe, 2 x reworked 10g and now it runs very smooth and shows no abrasion, and thus no more leakage. Since I have applied the sealing grease quite abundant, one sees now only traces of it after each use in the lower attachment, but these can be easily cleaned with the cleaning.

Handling and cleaning the mixer are generally quite acceptable.

Now even the following: Anyone who already owns a Moulinette red rubis, which can be the mixer jug ​​at Amazon.fr reorder for 20-25 and then the Moulinette for little money (ok ... sealing grease is a "must" So .. +10 = retrofit for approximately 35) for solid Smoothiemaker.

However, it must be said to the fact that the mixer jug ​​of new Moulinette XXL (newest model) has a 6-meter, while the mixer jug ​​for retrofitting / spare parts of older Moulinette device (there are the newer 6-meter version apparently ~ yet not ~ is equipped as a spare part) only with 4 simple-designed knives.
Nevertheless, we can mix it so good (so long as one seals afterwards / smears). Sesame seeds are an estimated quartered as, but not completely atomized (as supposedly the Vitamix).
Personally, I can live with that, because I always do not believe in the fairy tale of the broken cell structures, which has been set by Vitamix in the world. What else have we hydrochloric acid in the stomach?

The giant super-chic-looking Bianco Puro Blender Bianco Puro 4 (White), including dry containers, apparently the expensive and grotto ugly Vitamix Vitamix TNC 5200 -. Professional Stand Mixer - wants to make stainless steel competition is advertised by saying that he particularly "fluffy" Smoothies hinbekommt.
Interestingly, the Bianco Puro exist on amazon.it not (?!), Although it is supposed to but an Italian brand appliance. I find dubious ...
So if his smoothie particularly "fluffy" likes, but could instead be therefore an entirely coated expensive Bianco Puro zuzulegen, for example, simply take the Moulinette and the smoothie add some sparkling water ...

Conclusion: If you want to try smoothies only times without equal shelling out a fortune for the Moulinette is suitable, provided that the mixer jug ​​is as mentioned above, "retrofit" for their own account with seal fat.

I personally am times by a professional unit from the Gastro area (eg by PEFRA with ball bearing blade unit (with 400W from 341 upwards, with 1000W look nevertheless soon to the 600), because in my smoothie in the morning I do not want more to do without , and for continuous use, I think one would have to replace the mixer jug ​​of Moulinex because the anticipated clutch or blade wear quite often, which will at some point relatively no longer count.

Why only one point? So my review will (especially from Moulinex / Tefal / Krups customer service) ever read. I'm assuming that only the most critical reviews have influence on the product improvement / development ..... Regards!
