My first (orange) 3-mix lasted 30 years and then as a failed engine, it was a good thing, and I did not claim that such old parts are still repaired.
So forth with a new 3-mix.
It was then the 3-mix 7000, with the just renewed quick blender was used further.
After 2 1/2 years minor use (once the highest week in an apartment that I live anyway just 6 months per year) use and without the dough hook, is now broken gearbox.
It was a warranty card for 3 years there. As one thinks first times: "Half as bad Now I get free some decent returns can happen even once, that a material error has crept in..."
After reading the previous reviews, I am not so sure that everything goes well.
If the repaired then stops just 2 1/2 years, it would be a real indictment of the once reliable brand Krups.
The summer in my apartment used LIDL Bifinet half price plus more accessories now holds been 5 years without faintness through, and he is even 3 times longer in use, because my poor neighbors borrow that thing often.
I have been very disappointed with an old flame.
