The Russell Hobbs Blenders Desire has a nice, heavy glass decanter that looks very good. The lower part is made of matt red plastic and does not look quite as good. Despite this, the mixer is quite an eye-catcher in the kitchen. Not only that, he delivers what he promises. The manual is multilingual and easily broken, but to understand the structure, even without instructions. The lower part is placed on a flat surface and, thanks to the suction cups it is firmly seated as hell. The carafe is placed and fixed securely after a brief rotation a. Just as easily, it can be solved again. The lid is to be used or removed without problems. More parts are then either. In operating the blender sounds as loud as a chainsaw. My dear Scholli, lärmempfindlich nobody should be there. For this, but also reliably crushed everything the mixer gets in the way. As you can see the carafe, which after all, holds 1.5 liters, fill with ice cubes, crushed ice remains. Nett. To clean the blender is easy. Hand wash no problem, but is dishwasher safe decanter necessary even. I am Hobbs Desire nothing to complain about. The only slight downside is the lower part that looks like plastic. But it shows on the product image and therefore knows what you're getting, especially as metal would increase the weight again and the mixer is also so no lightweight. No, the Hobbs Desire is good as it is and I like to forgive five stars.
