I once bought since 1990 already 4 a new hand mixer from German brand manufacturers, bearings defective, circuit boards, etc burned, and so on. The brands I would not call here all scrap. This instrument from. Krupps makes contrast qualitatively and structurally a very good impression, but it is also a bit more expensive. I like working with this new blender. Since rattles nothing, since not buzz because breaking any plastic parts, since no burn PCB, from. Very good performance. Thank you for this product.
