Mug:
======
Very difficult but with a large handle. It can be both hot and cold liquids in fill and mix.
Capacity is 1.6 liters well and thus in the middle (eg Philips offers now also to 2L).
Engine:
=====
750W are also middle class, because there are definitely competitors provide the same price 1200W. The power is absolutely sufficient for me and not undersized. I run and do weight training with this mixer my shakes and smoothies and throw all kinds of fruit in the blender, such as apples, bananas whole (shelled) and nuts. I'll do that sometimes 2 times a day a week, and so far the mixer has small get everything.
Especially the "Pulse" button runs equal to the stop because rather first preheat on level 1 and easy to mix and then properly give to the gas pulses that a vortex is created.
Exemplary: It squirts in Blender not too much, so that the lid has remained clean. So I save the washing up at least here.
Volume:
=======
He is supposed to be one of the quieter and that it is at least to level 3 in any case! But since I often use the above Pulse I have to say that the mixer at full speed also but according to the power must be somewhere, after all, come also.
The 1000 euros Thermomix of acquaintances also makes a hell of a noise, the price it can not be so.
Feel:
=====
Very good! The glass jug can be used both left and right lock into place (for me as a left-handed optimal). The suction cups on the bottom of the mixer provide a good grip on the desktop, so you do not have to hold the device forcibly and sometimes by the way can run while cooking.
Appearance:
====
Promise kept: The body of the mixer and the rotary knob are actually from Nirosta stainless steel and look very classy. The bottom of the case is made of matte plastic, left and right are each groove, with which the engine is probably fresh air attracts the mix.
The design is very simple and functional and makes in the kitchen really something forth. Fits super to my Russell Hobbs toaster, which is also made of stainless steel. In contrast to the Mixer Toaster fingerprints draws not so very.
Dishwasher suitability:
=================
The jug and the lid are not dishwasher suitable, the knife and attached plastic case allegedly. Probably should be the blade only to prolonged expose water.
Odour:
=====
So far, the blender at full throttle rides added a slight smell from the vents, which has become less with each times. Will have its accuracy and is not annoying.
CONCLUSION:
====
Would I buy the blender again? Definitely! I bought at the Warehouse Deals this unit for just under 80 euros, but even 91 euros go fully in order. The build quality is consistently solid and chop very well does the device also.
The problem arises only in herbs, since there should be a mill, although I did not was found for them. The more expensive brother this mill thereby equal.
The five stars I would have given if there would be even a button for crushed ice or the above-mentioned mill part of the deal would be (or other accessories such as a scraper or so).
First wanted to buy a Philips, but what bring 300 reviews if any 2. writes that the device has given up the ghost after weeks.
EDIT 06:12:14
==============
Christmas time and it is baked. With the right spice mill can make easily powdered sugar! Just normal sugar into it, rotate 30-40 seconds at level 2 => Done!
The device is still running as the first day, the engine has become not weaker or louder and I'm not just neglected to order.
