Powerful heavyweight 1

Yes, it's hard, this stand mixer, but that's a good thing, because its weight makes it additionally stable. The motor housing has non-slip feet and looks with its stainless steel surface really well. The stainless steel appearance continues in the base of the blender container. The container itself is made of heavy glass that can withstand temperatures up to 90 ° C. A tightly fitting lid with measuring cup, which closes the small filling opening, the device complete. The enclosed operating instructions in several languages ​​and concise, but there are lots of worthwhile information contained, and even a few recipes can be found in the thin booklet.
The shaker is bolted on, must not be screwed to the motor housing. This is also an important reason for the high weight of base and shaker, because that keeps everything in its place, even under high loads. A major advantage of this design is that the blender jar can be mounted in different positions (handle to the right handle forward, handle to the left), which simplifies operation for right and left handers alike.

If you have the ingredients into the blender jar and filled these with the lid closed, the 6 pushbuttons offer many opportunities, perfectly adjust the mixer to the content. Pressing the power button, an LED lights to indicate readiness. The speed that is adjusted with the switches "High" and "Low" is displayed via LED. There are also the "Crush", with which can crush ice cubes easily, "Smooth", especially for soft ingredients and "Pulse". The latter option is the one recommended if you z. B. are larger pieces of fruit into the blender, which not to slip the same downwards during normal switching. The problem dissolves instantly, if you take the "Pulse" key a few, because that is all transported quickly and evenly to the blade of the mixer. In addition, you can perform with the pulse button a quick clean, which I find very convenient, because this one does not dismantle the jar after each use in its individual parts. This is only required for a thorough cleaning, for example, when the blender jar is more polluted by the use of various ingredients (batter).
The mixer is switched off as soon as you press the last key function key again. Very good I think the safety shutdown that occurs automatically after 30 minutes.
As already mentioned, hot water may be processed in the mixer. The glass container can withstand up to 90 ° C, you should not just pour bubbly boiling mass, however, is explicitly mentioned in detail in the operating instructions, as well as the proper handling in this case.

Conclusion: A very powerful device that crushed even harder ingredients easily can be used and versatile.
Some might complain about the heavy weight of the jar. But I think here is the quality of the device, because the thick glass holds more easily than lighter plastics. Another positive aspect of the glass container is that it remains permanently odorless and does not discolor or scratched. The sturdy handle and the non-drip spout can also be the heavy containers to handle very well.
