Good hand blender with large accessory package

The Russell Hobbs Hand Blender meets with me to tough competition and has really only prove once. Whether he can pass the test against my Moulinex Infinty Force, which I really wanted to give ever more?

Priced both devices do not differ and the wattage is equal.
Yet the differences are, in my opinion, quite large. But more on that later.

The scope of delivery of Russel Hobbs Illumina hand blender is impressive in any case before: In addition to the handpiece with an integrated motor block, is the classic hand-held blender, a 1L Synthesis measuring cup (unfortunately without caster), a small whisk, a so-called universal food of the Mini -Küchemaschine passes, and a stamper, which is perfect to make homemade mashed potatoes. There is also an adapter, which is required for the crusher and the snow Besenn. All in all, the package is absolutely complete and well thought out, so that one is the Star Mixer versatile.

However, the appearance and also the significance of the individual components is not so nice. Here dominates high-gloss, black plastic that looks fast and cheap grubby and above all. Only a small aluminum plate on the handpiece that will probably serve the slip resistance, since falls out of the frame.

But the handling is easy: With a small rotational movement is associated engine block and accessories, and away you go. Unfortunately here a little sound that acoustically confirmed to me snapping me missing. Here you just have to trust the device and so far nothing happened, all the essays were used, despite the forces acting, properly fixed. Because force has the equipment: With 700 watts, it has lots of power and speed depending on the stage, of which there are 4, incidentally, a small ring of LEDs light up in the appropriate color. To explain this is still a small sticker attached, which you install on the device and thus can always set the optimum speed level and this is precisely also displayed visually.

Is operated by the way of the hand blender by pressing a small button, it must be held and as long as he gives everything. But first you have to set the speed level. In the test of the hand blender has really need to give everything: Whether frozen fruit puree for the smoothie, chop onions or potatoes stomp. Everything he has done very well. If one uses the device, however, too long on the highest level, he starts to smell something and it is a bit noisy. Yet that was not bad, even if he does not reach the power of Moulinex appliance. That sucks itself firmly downright and the engine hums properly fed. By contrast, the star mixer of Russell Hobbs yelling literally.

But in the end comes the best part: All parts, except for the engine block, are dishwasher safe! Sure it's the knife is not necessarily the best, but it is possible according to instruction and is also made by me so. So far, everything has become perfectly clean and without that I had to do a lot for it. According to the manufacturer could then Although the finish suffering the harsh conditions in the dishwasher, but this is then just a visual thing and affects the functions in the finest manner.

Overall my Russell Hobbs Illumina Stabmixer like it very much: He has plenty of power, even when it is noticeably louder during prolonged operation and slightly unpleasant odor exudes. Since the engine has been working. The high-gloss plastic optics is a matter of taste. Nevertheless, everything is thought out and processed accurately. The accessories complement the classic hand blender makes sense and therefore I forgive good 4 stars.

Those looking for a wertigeres device for similar price, I recommend, however, the Moulinex DD866A Stabmixer Infiniy Force Deluxe Set / 4-meter technology / Incl. 4 attachments and measuring cup / 700 watt black, even though the differences at first glance are marginal.
