Great device does what he should!

Looking for the perfect mixer, I came across this one. A Vitamix was too high-priced and I need it mainly for smoothies. I think it's again very well that I can control it yourself, how long I want to let the smoothie mix and the blender does not go out by themselves, but that's just a matter of opinion.
I get along best with the phasing-out, turn the wheel to start at the lowest level and increase the intensity as I would like. So far everything has been crushed fine, even if I do something "to cram" had a thing or two times. This, however, to describe it in the words of my husband, is a pure operator error on my part.
One can disassemble everything for cleaning, which I really like.
The instrument is very robust and is very firmly on the worktop during Vorgangs.Es smells a little of the new engine, but think that it probably is normal for a new device ?!
He has a tiny flaw, however, for me, the mixer is made for Lakeland in China. But since I can not identify any deficiency in the quality, there's also no penalty ... is yes nowadays almost anything made in China ... and it does not have to be bad ....
All in all, strong buy recommendation.
I am pleased and perfect for my various purpose :-)
