All those who do not need it, I can assure you that this mixer for about a hundred EUR crushed everything wonderful! I saw him now for several weeks in the daily "Smoothie" bet. My experience: if it's really time should not be too "smooth", simply add a little more liquid when mixing and mix a little longer. After a minute or two is of broccoli, kale or apple peel nothing more to see!
UPDATE ****************************
Two times happened to me now that the latched mixer unit broke the glass container on power. The mess has to be experienced. The kitchen is dirty and - perhaps worse - the whole slobber trielt course in the electronics of the mixer, or in the engine ... I still maintain that the mixer has now many months gives me great smoothies. The Saurerei and the hours of disassembly and cleaning of the engine puts the joy of the great smoothies but again. Unfortunately now no recommendation! :-(
