I bought this mixer because I eat more and more vegan and it is helpful here to have a strong blender. A few months ago I had already bought a ready brand mixer, but this was immediately sent back (not Amazon) because it smelled strongly and was very noisy and the lower part always triggered when mounting. I had initially considered to buy me either no blender or a high-performance mixer from Vitamix, but could not make friends in order to spend as much money myself because I do not know if I really stay continuously at vegan diet and will use the blender. Again and again I read the good reviews of Proficook mixer and wondered about the good price for a unit with 1000/1200 (with Höch's performance) Mixer. The many good reviews convinced me but a few days ago and I ordered this mixer. After only two days, he was at home with me. Super. Unpacked and just amazed at how classy is this mixer. The best thing I find that at the bottom, where the blades are, the Mixer also made of stainless steel and is not - like most other mixers - plastic. I looked at all the mixer in the last week on the spot and it smelled. Almost all had the bottom of the blender jar plastic, where the part is screwed, and the mixer also had a smell all. Not Proficook, he smelled relatively neutral, even without that I had purged him. The rotary screw (motor) is made of plastic, however, there are mixers, as they are made of steel, but it looks very sturdy and well. The glass container is very hard, which I think is good and it looks very modern. There is the possibility to lock it on the base at three points. The lid is tight with a rubber coating and has a small glass lid for later filling the Mixgutes, which is used with one revolution. The lower part of the mixer should be able to be resolved lt. Manual, but I do not get it out, it is too tight. I want it but do not, because I clean the blender so: Fill a drop of detergent in and with water and mix half a minute. That's fine. The glass container can be dry super, because the glass jug has no wavy glass, like some other Blender and I got along very well in the towel to dry it. The operation is simple and it does a good job. Smoothies, almonds were previously not a problem and it all went fine in much less than two minutes, he runs automatically when pressed Start. The mixer has several stages 1-5 and a turbo level. I have not made ice cream, but I will try soon. The way I see the mixer, it creates the good. The mixer is with me on the counter diagonally in the corner and looks super class. I think he sees quality and more expensive than it is on Amazon. In addition, he was again lowered two weeks ago in the price. So far, a strong buy recommendation.
