Basically a great device. The cutting crushed everything you give him. Ice and frozen fruits are also no problem. I use the blender twice a day. Little black plastic particles (abrasion) Quick could be seen at the junction between the main unit (motor) and mixer attachment to recognize (see attached pictures). Now after three weeks the plastic transition is so worn out so that further use is no longer possible. The unit returns to Amazon today. I suspect that this plastic transition is not suitable for the "push-down-and-It-Go" function. You can tell and listen to my press down and release the gears on plastic transition "overspeed" and thus wear out the plastic. We have just bought in our household a second. If you observe the following can wear mitigate strongly: 1. Fill the cup with fruits, etc. 2. Screw cutting on the cup 3. Screw cup with cutting the main unit 4. Press Only now plug into the socket outlet or switch 5. Now the device mixes 6. When everything is mixed simply accuse plug or switch Unignore. Rausdrehen 7. Now the cup from the main unit 8. Done
So I'm going to use the unit on. Probably but only until I've found something better. Currently there are in this price range but not a device which does not rely on these plastic teeth.
Conclusion: For the price a great device and when to use it as I have described above keeps it probably more than three weeks (even if that was not intended by the manufacturer / is). Therefore, well-intentioned 3 stars from me.
