So once my praise: The Krups Blender looks absolutely great. Visually, the be wonderful deposited in the kitchen and makes really what her with sturdy glass jug, the white housing with aluminum edge and shiny knob. wow - you immediately think of the modern fitted kitchen in trendy white or beige look, because it belongs. His power - at least 850 watts, leaves no wish unfulfilled. Smoothies, shakes, ice-crushing, everything not an issue. For cleaning you turn under the pot and the part with the blades can be removed and cleaned in accordance with (the needs you !!! - with time nasty residues settle, it is not enough, the pot of hot water, detergent and washing-up brush to edit - but that is all mixers so, therefore, the possibility of removing the floor completely). Closed is the pot with a thick rubber cover that it is firmly seated, and just like the small plastic insert in the center (practically, it is also possible as a measure of 20ml-40ml use) can be stuffed into the dishwasher. So, he has it all: Visually great, functional, pleasant volume. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAber: Nearly 150 Euro ????? I bought a 2012 Russell Hobbs Blenders. The also has a glass jug, ok, has only 600 watts (but our smoothies and shakes can also ideally :-), the cleaning principle with the rotating part is the same, he also has a rubber cover, but what I paid for ??? I checked twice in my old order, it was 29.90 euros. Incredibly the difference. So Krups Fans must probably pay a little more. As I said, a great part, but also priced a heavyweight.
