The new device:
The Proficook arrived and I tried it immediately.
To short time to take read reviews regarding:
The equipment is new and clean.
The arrows for locking the jug are not smeared and also the aluminum ring the pitcher can not twist.
The touch panel is OK.
The feet are all off.
In operation:
The Proficook is no louder than my previous Blenders even at full speed.
I really only use the turbo button, because I thus have the full speed without having to select a program.
The 5 programs mean anyway only 5 different speeds at each 120 sec. Mixing time. Then I can do without personally.
In the Turbo button on the blue screen will display the time that has already been mixed.
To end you need to press on Turbo only once.
If you then re-Turbo start, count the time up again from zero.
For a smoothie I do this several times on and off, until he is ready.
This makes the mixer without having to complain about.
I am there to remain accustomed to the mix on the device, while on and off since my old mixer only has a push-button switch, which one must adhere.
Quality of the Mix-result:
Before that I eg. with chopped almonds or various seeds still noticeable Splitter inside gahabt.
I wanted to change.
And the Proficook creates actually.
And these hard things he crushed so much that I felt on the first try already equal to no more splinters in your mouth.
The smoothie is something of homogeneous that it tastes almost like ice cream.
No lumps and no splinters - just creamy.
Even bananas I cut the old mixer in small slices, so that everything runs well - at 750 W and 4 knives.
When Proficook (1200 W and 6 knives) I have the banana just broken only 3-4 pieces.
And he pulls the motor Proficook by mercilessly.
The lid is also tight and it sprayed me nothing out unintentionally, as it used sometimes.
So I liked it.
The only tiny downside:
The plastic connection between standalone unit and attached Krug seems to me a little bit wobbly because the pitcher is quite heavy too.
While other metal and glass were used, there is this connection (a so-called bayonet lock) on both sides of plastic.
As long as you did not use force, that should not interfere with.
Since I anyway Turbo used and stay when mixing on the device, and in the short time that it only needs anyway, retaining - for me. Therefore, no problem
Security:
The mentioned bayonet lock for the connection between foot and Krug, has added three elements for engaging each other by 120 degrees.
In one of them, on the side of the foot, is a small switch.
So the mixer only works when the closure is fully engaged and thus the Shater is pressed.
If you can easily rotate the closure or jug from the lock out of the blender is based, since the switch opens again.
If the shutter fully engaged, the mixer so run, you should just be aware that it is not purely sums when the lid is not on top, as the mixer can then turn despite the lid open.
Since the closure of 3 120 degrees offset elements, the pitcher can put in these 3 different directions.
This could for example. be an advantage for left-handers.
The printed arrows are not that important, since it already is a mechanical stop during the engagement.
When loosening of the pitcher it shows, at which point the pitcher can stand out.
The glass jug:
First time he looks good, although of course he has his weight.
In the photo, the shape looks relatively conical.
In real it is almost cylindrical, which I like even better.
When cleaning I'm better able to deal than expected.
It's even faster than my old device which only has a slight plastic pitcher who is but somehow bulky.
Packaging and shipping:
The shipping packaging is good.
The device is packaged in two Styrofoam cups in their own sturdy box.
This was also put into another sturdy box.
Was sent to me via Hermes Shipping.
By e-mail you get the tracking number and can thus follow the good transmission status, to know what day the package arrives.
I ordered on Friday and got the device on Monday, although Tuesday was given as expected date of delivery.
Conclusion:
Blender with this performance, there is otherwise, as someone mentioned, and also according to my own research, until the 3-figure euro range.
Optically successful and the price-performance ratio only to empfehledes device.
