My review therefore refers to the blender. This has a removable knife, which tremendously facilitates cleaning! The mixer also has its service to date super verrichtet- No problem with ice, frozen fruit and Co. I have to say that I have a smootie from bananas, frozen fruit and water mix every day after work, what one for quite a blender load is. After 3 months, he began, however, leaking at the seal EASY. Warranty, extremely competent and fast handling via Philips email support, new blade and sealing ring was there after 2 weeks by parcel. After about a month of daily use but now again the same problem. I guess you just can not expect this power from a mixer in this price range. Hence my appeal: If the mixer is used occasionally to access. With daily and intensive use I would, however, rely on a hochklassigeres, more robust device.
UPDATE 07/08/2014
I have used the device after the emergence of the problem and have further intensified attention to the cleaning and correct insertion of the knife, as the customer service it has informed me. Since I use the blender several times a day, and he gets easily nuts and the like in smoothies small. Almond, and the like is not easily possible. For this price, and in the daily stress for nearly two years, I have revised my review from 3 to 5 stars. The outlet problem has done himself, the reason I can not be clearly identified. Under certain circumstances, this was my handling but owed. I realize now slowly after two years of daily use that the engine power is weaker. However, it is still perfectly adequate and unbeatable at this price.
