The unit with 450 watts has two speeds. If the upper part (motor) is set to the tank, pressing lightly the upper part of the first and fixed for the second speed stage. It is important to make sure to always press only for a brief moment several times, so that the motor can not overheat. But everything works wonderfully fast press times with a pair.
The device shredded meat, onions, carrots, peppers, nuts, ice, etc.
It can take super slightly apart, rinse and put back together. The unit does not occupy too much space in the closet.
I used to have a great device for such purposes, which I always had to get out of the basement, in the kitchen because it was no room available. Then I tried it again with any "handheld devices", with which I was not really happy but.
Recently several devices have been tested in the TV and I decided spontaneously for this device after I have of course only read through the reviews here.
This small part is narrow and does not take up much space. It still has as an accessory a mayonnaise maker, whom I have not yet tried.
So I can really recommend the device because I use it, because soon at hand, almost every day for shredding onions (just great), carrots, among others
I bought it for 34.95 euros and the price is worth it!
Conclusion: This device I can recommend with a clear conscience. Excellent workmanship.
