Beautiful design - proven quality

On glass mug is a front roughly graduated scale: from 0.5 L each in 0.25 L steps up to a total capacity of 1.5 L. In the detailed operating instructions you can learn everything you need, for example, that the capacity for liquid preparations L is only 1.25, but can be filled with viscous preparations to 1.5 L. The lid is made of sturdy plastic, or rubber, includes fixed and has an additional dosing cap made of transparent plastic. If the pitcher is upside down - the stable 6-way blade with a simple rotation is counter-clockwise - easily unlocked. When attaching the knife clockwise the mixing jug is sealed by a - somewhat soft appearing - rubber ring (only failing point - remains to be seen how long this keeps).

The engine block is white, with a silver bottom end edge (rather think of plastic and in my opinion, all this has nothing to do with stainless steel - only the optics appear so), but it is clear by the four suction cups on the floor. The cable is about three feet long and black.

To operate the front is a continuously from the "0" position to Max adjustable rotary switch with the additional "Pulse" position, and the left including a key for the smoothie. - Function, this button must be pressed to operate and then to turn off be operated again. Bottom right is the button for the IceCrush function, this ended their function when they are released. Relatively simple everything is me most of all, for me always inspire the simple devices.

The glass jar is simply placed on the engine block (knob must be set to "0") and acts a little shaky, but that does not detract from his performance. The engine runs quite pleasant - not too loud - but powerful.

The performance is really good. My mixed drink was creamy, the IceCrush function properly doing their job - a little loud of course - as with almost all mixers, the Smoothie function with fruit and juice or tea properly. Also located in the instruction manual - a, yes a prescription - for carrot soup with cumin - as an example, I suppose - in this guide. I tried even vegetable soup with sweet potato and pumpkin soup and have vegetables, pumpkin and Süßkartoffelstückchen already cooked with broth and spices added to the mixer. The result - each a very thick and coating soup.

A nice device with an appealing design and a simple and good range of services - I would order it again.
