The machine itself is easily and quickly assembled, all parts except the drive module can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Although is mainly plastic but stable and high quality.
I have, however, only an operating speed in addition to the pulse level, but more, it does not need (remember: your washing machine also has dozens of programs which you probably really use only a fraction of * g *).
Brought practical and to the point!
The blender is working properly, the shredder cuts herbs, seeds, nuts, etc. reliably small. You could even grind coffee, but that's already in the coffee itself. :-)
There are two things to note that are still worthy of optimization:
1. The large container holds not really much, although 2.1 l listen much. Could be larger.
2. Between the cutter assembly and the container lid is quite a lot of leeway, so that the cut vegetables (especially in harder varieties such as carrots or celery tubers) always get stuck in between larger pieces and not be crushed. Here you have to rework by hand, do not want to throw away food is yes.
Granted, there is no Bosch MUM, but the Philips completed their tasks cleanly and without hesitation. At a great price in a pile accessories that rarely heard in other kitchen equipment for standard equipment and must be purchased in addition to a lot of money.
Inexpensive - reliable - virtually. I am very happy with my Philips.
