The unit does have now done for many years faithful to his service, but if I'm honest, the engine power of 175W in most situations, if the mass is to mixende or touching something solid, such as a yeast dough just too weak. The engine really tormented by audible and running even sometimes hot, including smell! Then I had to just turn off and wait for a while. Actually only slight things, such as cream or the like are well beat / mix, because that's the engine creates problems. Now one of the Mixbesen is broken, broken out on the suspension / fixation at the bar, so I stand to seek a replacement part before the election, or prefer to buy a new, more powerful blender. I opt for the latter! This time I look to a higher engine output! :-)
