(CPP - PRC - CHINA) same story! then this "thing" (we can not call it anything else!) in operation ... it's hard to believe ... 1 ° / noise (well me it could still pass if the rest was OK! ) 2 / ingenious engineers-R & D and company ... ont'il tried this stuff ?? .. I doubt it ... 3 ° / the hook (pulp) it was studied for this?, it kneads nothing: he ride the dough ball around the bowl ... or it "picks up" ... not the bottom (of the bowl) ... 3 / the "plastoc" of all: to articulation of the arm (in working position by the slower speed) this is awesome ... the DEFORMATION of all ...: it astonished me that it does not break, (with 500-600 gr ) batter, this time 1/4 days .... now I should have known that at this price, I could not have that crap, it'll teach me for the future, to choose from "firsthand "... until the guarantee ...
