> Its positive points:
- The ease of use and cleaning function;
- The 1.8-liter capacity, suitable for 4 people loving the right portions;
- The strength of the base and brushed stainless steel bowl;
- Saving space in the kitchen compared to the pressure cooker;
- The possibility of having the fresh and varied soup, usually;
- The price. A heating blender in the line of Therm * mix, but without the disadvantage of exorbitant price.
> Its negative (the only we've found so far):
- The cover, not necessarily very convenient to clean. The way it is designed (the seal, the plug ...) leaves me doubtful.
So a purchase that you do not regret at all, quite the contrary. A real open door to creativity. The recipe booklet provided is only a foretaste. Then just go to the web and search for recipes using keywords related to the Therm * mix, or to give free rein to his imagination !!! Man of the house even decided to put himself in the kitchen !!! Soup & Co adopted!

Sustainability side, I still wonder: after less than two months of use, the friend Soup & Co was acting without warning and decided not to heat up. Not cool in the middle of a cream preparation Dan * ette who went straight in the trash !!! Result: 10 days from an authorized repairer, who then told us that after the test, the machine worked ... Mmmouais! Two-three elements were nevertheless changed, when in doubt, but now I do not deny that I too have a doubt when I put eyes on my Soup & Co, wondering when his Majesty will again let go .
I conclude that this is a great device ... when he walks. Moulinex would benefit from reviewing the reliability of its equipment and use better materials. The "planned obsolescence" is already zero, but after two months, its just the lack of seriousness. So I can still see the note down !!!
For future users, look at the side of the Therm * mix, this is perhaps not a bad idea: it's more expensive, but it's solid that do not crash!

I confirm my impression on the strength of the beast: the black series continues with a new failure on the same device. Either I really have no luck and it was part of a faulty batch or the after-sales service Moulinex near my home for a rabbit caught me 6 weeks and did not make the repairs necessary (it is not impossible, given the welcome that I got!). In short, I again turned to the Amazon customer service, determined to no longer be dealing with Moulinex. Although I took: a standard exchange was offered or a full refund. Needing the device, which also had seduced me for the qualities listed above, I chose the first solution. I will see if it was just a stroke of bad luck ...
In any case, one thing is certain: Amazon demonstrated an unfailing efficiency: great welcome, speed and efficiency. The replacement package arrived in 24 hours, at no cost !!! IM-BA-TTABLE!
