After initial experimentation with the blender when it comes to Smoothie Make I bought this stand mixer. After two days receive package, swung mixing bowl hot and mixed, then the first smoothie with arugula, fruit and orange juice. Unfortunately, the result was no better than with a hand blender! The Mixergebnis gave a very tasty "plant pulp", but it is not "smoothen", so creamy without fibers or individual solids. However, this could also have my blender, so I went back to the blender. Sorry! It may be a device with great value for money for normal purposes, as well as smoothies are just advertised, and he can not nunmal, at least not the green, in which the cells / fibers must be cracked!
