The mixer is no lightweight, but helps hereby tough dough to keep it under control. The inclusion of the dough hook, and the other agitators, the device body is made of metal. Many effective products provide only a connector made of plastic. The dough hooks have a strong diameter and prevent even with yeast dough with a little flour, a "wrap" the dough. The motor is 500W (not 400!) And is always pulling power. Yes, the mixer is warm, and smells a bit during initial commissioning. I think that's normal. But of "smoke" or "Smoke" no trace. The 5-minute limit under full load I have not been complied with and it still did not manage to provoke a thermal shutdown. However, the dough is after 5 minutes at full speed so supple that knead a längerers simply unnecessary.
The included accessories are consistently high quality and useful. The cable is actually not very long. When a socket in the worktop height is but unproblematic and it does not bother it in the preparation.
I had also an ancient Krups 3 mix. That was good. But the new one is better by a mile!
