The principle is that you can mix in the bottle and the mixer jug simply exchanged by a lid with sports drink closure. A refilling eliminates thus completely. The amended contents of the bottle are 600 ml, quite a lot for a smoothie. The bottle is very comfortable to hold. Could to keep the liquid cool to ice mitmixen or place the bottle in the office in the refrigerator.
First, notice that the Mini Mixer is very good and safe. On the underside there are non-slip suction cups which hold the device in the mix position. There is only one speed stage which is but perfectly adequate (also eg for ice cubes or pieces of carrot). The bottle is lt. Manufacturer dishwasher safe and BPA-free, assumes no odors and absorbs this either. In the manual, however, is they should clean the bottle, lid and Mixeinheit manually.
The lid and the mixing jug is a eigearbeiteter plastic ring, which seals everything fixed. While of mixing and later, with cover, leakage is virtually eliminated. Even the sports closure of the lid closes tightly and securely. In the bottle all the ingredients are introduced, screwed the mixing jug, secured with a safety lock on the mixer (to do it wrong, the mixer can not be started - but it's easy) and then can be mixed. After the drink is ready, just exchanges one of the mixer jug through the lid of the bottle. Ready to go.
The mixing process itself works great and powerful. But beware, here you have to rethink. The mixer jug is screwed onto the bottle top and then flipped the blender attached. So you should fill the bottle in the reverse order, as in standard mixers customary. Only the liquid and soft ingredients (water, juice, fruit, ...), then harder ingredients (hard vegetables, ice cubes, ...). Then everything works great.
One thing that does not relate to the product itself, in all the sports mini-mixers of this kind is so, but something bothers me: If the drink or smoothie is too thick, you can not, as in ordinary mixer, pour liquid from above. You have to remove the entire bottle, turn, unscrew the liquidiser, add fluid, thus wiping the rim, put mixer jug again, using bottle and continue to mix. I find that somewhat impractical, but probably not to change. Over time you will know his recipes and know how much of each ingredient you have to fill in order to achieve optimum consistency.
A total of AEG Sports Mini Mixer SB 2400 is recommended!
