after comparing several such product I thought it would be really nice to bring efficiency, quality and French manufacture. Well I'm glad because I met these criteria by purchasing this blender. Contrary to some reviews, there is no problem of ergonomics, I myself small hands and I can tell you that I've had no trouble holding it in my hands, I think that nobody has not held in the right direction (hi! hi!) 700watts very powerful robot, easy to use and maintenance. I highly recommend it and in addition it favors companies françaises.Cocoricco
