The vessels and Fuunktionen are:
Mixer, marked in yellow: big 600 ml glass vessel with Adapter with 2 blades pairs
Cutters, marked in red: small plastic tube with adapter with a pair of blades, cap.
Gewürzmühle, brown marks: small plastic tube with adapter and spice whipping plate (for lack of sanding one can not call that blade, right?), Cap.
Features: you have to try, with which average size and moisture content of the mixer can handle.
In the spice mill there is no problem, the "knife" is a molded beatings, smashing the parts that are thrown around in the essay. Works.
The shredder can handle quite well. small amounts of onions (a) and carrots (one or two?) succeed fix.
The large blender consists of a thick-walled glass cups for 600 ml on an adapter with 4 blades (2 pieces of sheet metal, cut, bent and sanded). The exterior printed scale reading in ml and oz is practical.
Unlike the Speedy-Pro, the all crushed in his flat cup, chops, mixes and whisks, you'll need a spoon to make the most of the contents of the cup.
°° problems:
° blade / geometry
The blades are not suitable in order to hurt it, I tried it. This means that even cut is not as fast zerteil, especially when it is harder, such as carrots or squash.
However, the main problem of knives is their arrangement. If you look at a larger shredder on, such as the Krups Speedy Pro or even inexpensive supermarket equipment, notice that the blades are larger, consisting of a round-cut sheet metal and that the blades are slightly slanted mainly. This causes the cuttings are thrown up simultaneously when cutting. This means there is a constant mixing.
This device 2 pairs of blades cut through their respective levels, the cut is slightly moved only by moving sideways cut and gravitation - if it is not as large, moist pieces, simply staring them in the glass. The result is below finest puree and absolutely untouched up clippings. In previously crushed fruit from which you want to make smoothies, the effect is less noticeable because the centrifugal movement of the now fast soft fruit and the inner rounded glass form an upward movement is induced and a revolution is visible - which, unfortunately, is too low, however, to circulate the supernatant end flotsam at some grade levels. The trick is that only the small crusher acts as such, the stand mixer would at modification of the blades also able to grind larger amounts. See Speedy Pro. Who has gone into the garbage just because of brittle plastic: The lid has a nose that pushes the hidden safety lever knob. When the lid falls. then guaranteed in this nose that breaks off and the device can be unusable.
° fit / Mechanics
The transparent cap presses a button when inserting the adapter, which in turn depresses a thorn in the soil, which operates the safety mechanism when inserted into the machine. As far as OK.
The tower with the red mark (shredders) in diameter but some millimeters smaller (why?), So that not depressed enough when inserted according to the instructions of the button and thus the mandrel.
Impression because of this design fault: defect. One can now observe, measure and try: press the insert slightly forward, then it works. Who has what thought do just that?
In shredders are 2 blades at different levels. A blade is bent downward. The above problem I had suspected it, also displays the picture on the cover 2 straight blades. The blade I then straightened, what are you having the chipping of the adapter shown to me on the first try acoustically. The Zitronenmus with gray rasps I then discarded. So, again bent blade down and instead found the inaccuracy of fit.
The included cover are too large, are only loosely on. Finely chopped onion flavor so effectively the refrigerator and allow to dry out. Ask?
We would return the device when Krups not promptly providing a knife base with slanted blades. However, too high by trying modification of the compensation for wear upon return.
Meanwhile, I have sharpened the blades. Advantage of a crusher, where you can take the knife attachment of the drive shaft, is easier to process the blades. Here it is fiddly, the blades are screwed.
+ Small footprint
+ High-quality, solid, easy-to-clean plastic, not stain or liable to break
+ Large mixing jug made of glass
+ Easy to assemble, disassemble and clean
+ Impeccable drive
- Partly unusual noises
- Fit under level
- Knife geometry on inexpensive production optimized for many uses problematic (eg Apples Bananas go well, however.)
- Provided cover will not fit
