The Melissa Power Mixer is heavy and stable, dense and has plenty of power.
With ice cubes he comes easily clear with very sticky things like ice cream so because the glass container is very bulky, and sticky foods can remain under the blade (with me as frozen bananas, even after over 10 minutes repeated mixing was still not a single small piece of unfinished crushed - perhaps I've simply had bad luck). Since then you have helped along with a wooden spoon. That to me is not really a problem (I admit: the crushing of sticky, hard frozen fruit is a pretty high bar for a cheap blender).
There was no odor and no performance degradation after 10 minutes of continuous use.
The fact that the glass container is so bulky, it can be cleaned very well. However, he is also very hard (the glass is more than 6mm very thick).
The cable can be well stowed under the mixer.
The shell sits very firmly and securely on the base, and yet can be easily removed by lifting, without any locking. I think that's a perfect solution.
The volume I feel noisy than mediocre. In 15-20cm distance I have measured at the lowest level at idle 80dB (with my tablet, which stood on the same countertop).
The mixer has a built-in fan for protection against overheating.
The control is very convenient, a total of mixer is worth the money.
A word of warning: if you only have liquid in the mixer, then be sure that the glass jug is NOT completely hermetically sealed, otherwise the liquid is squeezed out at power by the high pressure.
So if you like me to give the first use only soapy water in the blender and turn it on a test basis, then let heraußen the upper cylindrical insert, otherwise your whole kitchen - just like me - splashed with the contents of the mixer. Since no holding the lid, the pressure is just too big help.
