The multimixer of Severin creates both and not bad at all. Frozen fruit with fresh fruit are at an output of 500 watts small problem for him, as well as ice crush. Priced he is also attractive. I have only a few days in operation and so far am very enthusiastic but him. The only penalty for the polished knob where you hands are wet usually slips and the loose-fitting lid Mixer, which can crush the ice is better to press down by hand.
