At first, I was seduced by the very 50's blue (but the clothes do not make the man ...). Secondly, I noticed a sturdy plastic, a stainless steel bowl that makes pro, a whip and two hooks quite honorable and well-thick glass blender with a tight fitting lid. Power is more than correct. The pulse rate is very effective to get the recalcitrant stuff that remain stuck on bowl. I already did two broken pasta; a cookie dough; two cheesecakes (spiced with grinding in the blender); egg whites: it's perfect. Obviously, price is an important asset (less than 100 euros, it's a bargain). The only downside (which dropped me off my one-star rating) concerns the splash plastic circle that fits on the stainless steel bowl. This accessory looks to me particularly fragile (plastic type any purpose that is not going to last long). Well, at the same time, we must assume anything ...
