I am very pleased with this brown-blender. Mainly I prepare smoothies with him with the special program for to. Also green smoothies he creates very good, considering the instructions on the website of Brown observed, namely first the vegetables to puree with water in the smoothie program, then in the second step only to give the fruit and once again allow Duch to run the Smoothie program. Then the green smoothie is similar really nice creamy without pieces In addition, this blender nor a program for Ice-crashing, a soup and a program pulse program that runs only briefly. Then you can still do the minute the blender. I personally would have liked a booklet with recipes for each program in the blender. Unfortunately, this is not given. Also on the website you can find specifically for this mixer tips from a few bloggers.
