This is already my second Mr. Magic, after I day, sometimes several times used the first for many years. The only prerequisite is that he is always ready to hand in the working area so that you do not only get him cumbersome from a drawer or even a top cabinet and assemble. The small, narrow device fits anywhere even now and is ready for immediate use. The old man was white, plastic, this is now black / metallic silver, which of course affects even more precious. The knife is hellish hot, so be careful when rinsing. They say you can, of course, give all parts except the motor unit in the dishwasher, which I do not recommend. I always sink the knife immediately after use very hot from finished. So it remains safe sharper longer. The container, however I ask without hesitation into the machine. I use the Mr. Magic for the preparation of creamy salad dressings, smoothies, milkshakes, Pesto (now coming back the wild garlic time when there are wild garlic pesto fed up ...) and of course for chopping nuts and chocolate, because I very much Backe. Also a lot of hard cheese can be good so that "rubbed". It really is enough, 2 - times to press shortly afterwards 3, therefore disturbs the still very loud Mixgeräusch (especially of course in nuts and chocolate.) Not too much, is indeed fast. For me, small is beautiful, an all-rounder.
