The first tests, namely "Ice Coffee" (1 large ice cubes, 70ml espresso, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 150 ml milk) and "Strawberry thingy" (50g iced strawberries, 100ml milk, 4 teaspoons of sugar) and Banana Shake it has all the best zusammengeschreddert.
In the small amount of "Strawberry thingy" (less than 200 ml) showed the blender a "blind spot" by the grinder around. There the fruit constitute the piece and will no longer be reached from the mixer.

- Bad Mixleistung in small quantities (in quantities less than 200 ml), "blind spots" when mixing small amounts
01/06/2014
Nearly two years, the device now on the clock:
The Mixleistung is still good and I am accustomed to cocktails to produce directly into the pint quantity.
Bad, however, that unlock after just one year the plastic parts down the pitcher, which by inserting the blender pitcher before, are canceled. These parts are so shaky and thin that I look at this as a predetermined breaking point. With black electrical tape and superglue but I have glued the broken parts and operate the unit on.
The rating I have really lowered due to the weak plastic parts from 4 to 3 stars.
