We had the expensive V-mix in stainless steel for scarce 700 EUR Although only a short time, so I can write. The 3G has 6 knives, 2 of them down. The container of 3G is not as high quality as the V ..., the handle is not as good in the hand. Ice cream and fruit smoothie make both almost the same quality, so I could not Differences notice. The 3G is not running as smoothly at that, of course at the speed setting that is at the V ... M better dosed. The motor starts at a higher intensity slightly to smell (I have a very sensitive nose). For the price goes all the i. O. We are very pleased with the Klarstein 3G, holding at three times per week using the determined 2-3 years. If not, I'll get back to Word.
