This is my first mixer, and I am absolutely thrilled. He crushed everything from Apple, even in large pieces, to hard carrots. I use it mainly for smoothies and what can I say, they are great. The vessel is equipped with 1.5L big enough, the opportunity through opening up nachzulegen something without equal to uncover, I think it's great. The two levels plus the power stage are entirely sufficient. Longer than 10 to 15 seconds is normally not done durchzumixen everything. The cleaning also designed really easy. The knife can also be removed for cleaning, which really is a rarity in this price range. The power transmission also seems sufficient dimensioned. The device looks also really high and makes the kitchen a good figure. What more do you want ?!
