... Good conscience 4 to 4.5 star ...

What stands out immediately is quite high weight, I just guess that here, hopefully very high quality components have been used to justify the heavy weight. There are a number of accessories available, such as stirring rods, dough hook, a Vegetable Strainer and a measuring cup, which you can use to store all accessories.

Processing: ______________________________________________________

The device makes a very sophisticated look. It is perfectly round. The same applies to the accessories. At this point, you really can not complain.

The connection points for the Handmixelemente be protected by a cover when you open the cover for the hand blender to this attach and seal it is retracted again. The accessories can all be very well attach and Sitting reasonable, no wobble or the like back and forth.

On cable, there is a versatile cable clip so that you can fix the cable after winding. This is a bit of getting used to, but the idea itself is good. It was also a relief-like cap with mounted, the cable entry should protect a little. But the cable clamp holds actually not as accurate and often dissolves.

Operation: ________________________________________________________

By some heavy weight of the equipment, the handling is sometimes a bit tiring and it is a little unwieldy in the hand.

Function: _________________________________________________________

There is the possibility of the mixing function Gradual switch from 0-1-2-3-4-5 or press the turbo button, which corresponds to the step 5. The Turbo button is also responsible for the launch of Pürierfunktion. Here there is only a single step. 2 but would be more comfortable, because when you have to have something to watch out pureeing because just more fluid through the slightly jerky start and the high level stuff can splash around quickly, which also depends a bit on the angle.

To solve the Mixelemente again there is an eject button, you must press already strong. So the Mixelemente sit very stable and secure in the brackets. It has never before that these have been solved once accidentally came. For the mixing, there is also a feature called FLEXIMIX that allows Mixelementen to vary in height, instead of being rigid.

Both the Mix and the Pürierfunktion are very powerful and do a very good job. Working with the device does, despite his weight, a lot of fun and the results are very satisfactory.

Conclusion: ____________________________________________________________

Even after 6 months of regular use, there is no optical or mechanical fatigue show. A cheap hand blender was for example during comminution of almonds eventually completely on and the plastic connection broke. In this apparatus of Phillips this is not the case. There were still no signs of an imminent fault, all right, and still fully functional.

Pro:
+ Hand mixer and hand blender = a space-saving device =
+ Mixhöhenvariation (FLEXIMIX function)
+ Stirring Bars, dough hook and Vegetable Strainer = seem suitable for dishwashers

Neutral:
o relatively high weight
o Mixelemente can be solved a little hard
o cable clamp for fixing the cable, but does not stop properly

Cons:
- Measuring cup base to twice puree visibly scratched
- Pureeing only with a maximum level possible = splashes

The measuring cup has more to perfecting the-it-this-is-accessories, the high weight may be increased by high-quality components justify (guess), today the unit is impeccable fully functional and the fact that there is only one button with which one can start / stop the Pürierstabfunktion would be interpreted both as a pre- and a disadvantage. The supplied cable clamp is actually a good idea, unfortunately does not use this right.

Thus, the device is good conscience 4 - give 4.5 stars. 1 Star 0.5 must be subtracted, because the number of small weaknesses. But all do not bad device, but it is missing to perfection.
