I have the equipment given to my brother, because he likes to cook and the effort in light of the outcome and the chef relief classifies as not too high. In a passionate cook the Moulinex is in good hands. She transforms into a creamy and delicious fruit smoothie (here I stand mixer attachment used). Basil, Parmesan and various nuts were quickly at a great pesto (shredder). All the ingredients are crushed easily, the operating noise of the mixer is in the normal range, not too loud but not very quiet. Because I see in any case a point of criticism, because I only häcksle a relatively short time and the noise in the cooking process interferes eh not much. Of course it appeals to much to make itself. And yet: The cleaning effort in connection is so high that you have to be a cleaning fanatic. I'll stay with my immersion blender. That's not so luxurious, but adequate for my cooking skills.
