I had initially purchased the blender as a gift and was initially a bit skeptical because of the low price. Actually, I would have liked a slightly higher quality version with less plastic, but such a thing is knowledge opining on the market are not available. However, I must say that my impression was quite positive after unpacking. Despite plastic, the device feels quite solid and it works surprisingly well. Sometimes during "greasy" cards happen that the card hang something. Then it is sufficient if the crank briefly backward and then rotates forward to a jam dissolve. This is a clear advantage for electrical equipment, in which the motor rotates in one direction only stupid! Especially with rummy card game is a card shuffling machine a true blessing. After 3 rounds of thick pile is well mixed in a short time.
