(++) Quick removable accessory which can be used in addition to the basic unit.
(++) The cutting functions work well, for example,
- Hard vegetables, such as carrots or potatoes: Excellent
- Soft vegetables such as cucumbers: excellent as well
But what does not work, is the production of French fries from potatoes, as is written in the product advertising at amazon. Here are certainly meant crisps.
(++) The Raspelergebnisse to be proud of
- Parmesan in the rasp: no problem. With little pressure on the slide creates very fine grated Parmesan.
- Carrot, fine rasp: going quickly
- Carrot, rough rasp: is also good, with a bit more pressure
(+) The cutting blades seem to be sanded, the arched openings of the grater blade not. In everyday life, but that does not really have much impact, well the grater blade I need something stronger push on the pusher in order to obtain an appropriate result.
(+) The hand-cleaning of all parts going without any major problems, because no hidden or difficult to access area available.
(-) I was disappointed by the material: plastic casing. Parts of the cutting tools and plastic. The Ultramix basic unit I bought because of the metal structure, and now are accessories only or partially of plastic. In the product description does not indicate the material is noted. The pictorial representation on Amazon.com do not allow conclusions about the material.
(-) Not all the knives were really burred in its plastic content. Two parts I had to edit a file finger. After a better smoothness of the two knives entered.
(-) During the different sizes of Raspelmesser are very clearly visible, which is not the case with the grater blades. The average thicknesses of 0.4 and 0.6 cm can be distinguished hardly. Therefore, you have done well in English sticker on it. In any case my have already become the first operation of cutting through the wet vegetables (and additionally when cleaning). How long will that hold?
(-) Held in English stickers are confusing for non-English:
1 slice shutter
2-slice shutter
Simply specify thick or thin directly. Even better, a pictogram-like impression in the plastic version of the respective knife would have been. The will not peel off!
The English names are not found in the user manual. Since only Raspelmessern spoken fine and coarse. But as I know, belongs to the respective language explained!
(-) The manual is generally not helpful. The only important note is that the knives are to ride in speed level 8.
Otherwise, you have to get a page of instructions anlesen to more than 90% are not dedicated to the accessory, but the basic unit. This negative impression is accompanied by a botched allocation for a manual in 26 languages (multiple languages on one page). Here I have a 56-page manual, but only 2 pages German text is of interest to me. However, they can not make sense separate from the other pages of text.
(-) The German text of the operating instructions are not practical.
- There is a lack eg hints dishwasher suitability of each part..
- Also, the assembly can be different and more flexible, as shown in the text:
Only use the housing and tighten the fixing screw. Then use the appropriate diameter through the housing in the drive shaft with the square recess, which allows more game until the square connector is slipped into the square hole. The engagement of the locking handle is complete when he stands at the same level with the fixing screw.
- Not explained is the semi-circular opening at the front part of the casing at 12:00: Very handy, that's a thumb inlet through which you can easily insert or remove the respective diameter. This function of the opening is not immediately recognizable.
Two features I would like to mention, without judging them:
1. The cut or Reibegut fäll their design from a height of 32 cm above the table top from the hopper. It makes sense, at least to use the larger metal bowl of the base unit to collect the cut material. The rotation of the grater body (approximately 10 cm in diameter) is spread the clippings in a spreading width of 30 cm on the tabletop. So the higher the collecting bowl is, the less falls next. This can be regulated.
2. The cutting body has a diameter of about 10 cm a curved surface so that the cut material is also slightly curved. Can with fried potatoes in the pan might represent a problem. Or bother to get slightly curved carrots as a side dish?
Conclusion:
In everyday life really serviceable, well-to-clean accessory. During assembly you have to find his own way. Whether the plastic part design withstands the loads, will be seen in a few years. Overall, just 4 stars, can be seen on the botched operation instructions.
Note:
If you "not helpful" find this review, let me know why. Do not have illuminated some aspects? Give yourself a jerk and send a short note via comment or e-mail. An anonymous "no" two is not served, frustration on the one hand and lack of information on the other side.
Addendum of 06/07/2015
It would have been nice if the manufacturer had also created opportunities to keep sorted the individual rubbing. It gäber because enough simple solutions. It happens also regularly that the slide falls out of the housing set when removing from the cabinet. Since the manufacturer is now called for!
