Good Mixer ...

What surprised me the size of the mixer. So great I had not imagined it. In the color red it looks really smart and he is through the heavy glass mug also no lightweight, but this is not a disadvantage, because it is so securely and firmly on his feet. The manual which is composed mainly of warnings. Only a few pictures and a few sentences dealing with the operation and the disassembly.

The mixer has a handle with which one on and off him and with the setting the speed. This one uses for pancake batter or the like. If you want to make smoothies or crushed ice, is one the rotary switch to On and then press the switch either in addition to smoothies or for chrushed Ice and so starts the special program. Around the lid, a rubber gasket is attached, so this also sits securely on the jar. He sits very tight but you get it off easily when you press with your fingers from below against it.

The engine block should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. At the bottom of the glass jar, the blade unit is screwed, which you can rinse under warm water and the glass jug can be cleaned in the dishwasher. It is easier, however, when one fills after use little water and washing up liquid into the pitcher and the machine is then briefly run by pressing the pulse button. So the knife, the jug and the lid are beautifully clean quickly. Then only briefly rinse and dry.

Make smoothies dominates the machine very well. Tastes best to me following Smoothie ... A banana cut into small pieces into the container, a glass of pear juice, 2-3 scoops vanilla ice cream, a bag of vanilla sugar and either chocolate chips, melted chocolate or cocoa powder to it. Delicious. The mix lasts a maximum of a minute and it can be found no more pieces of fruit. If one makes chocolate (whole pieces) with pure, you have chocolate crumbs in the smoothie. Will you not, you have to melt them before.

If you want to make crushed ice, you should make sure that you are not too many ice cubes at a time in the tank, because then it can happen that the machine does not manage. One to one and a half glasses full ice cubes (about 9 units), plus about 300 ml of juice enough for about 2 glasses Slush Ice. This also makes the machine wonderful.

And now to the design flaw ... the glass jar with the blade unit should be employed so that it locks firmly. Will you this glass pitcher now decrease again, you have to turn it to the right. The connection between the multiple unit for glass jug has a right hand thread. Turn right and right-handed pitcher thread in the blade unit can then cause the blade unit from the jar triggers, if you want to remove these and then some by suppt bottom out. Here one would have to take a left-hand thread, then you would get no such problem.

However, it is not particularly difficult to work around this problem. I just put the glass jar in such a way that it does not fully engages. When I turn on the blender, he does not run, because yes, the contact is missing. I simply prefer the pitcher easy to me (much because you need not) and already runs the blender. It costs little effort and you get the mixer easily again when you're done. Works really super. While not the optimum but at least one solution.

That reminds me of the mixer like very much and he does his job very well, he gets me 4 good star. I had unfortunately a pull for the mentioned problem.
