I need a hand blender because my son refused solid food. I had previously a really ridiculously cheap noNamespaceSchemaLocation device, all absolutely fine crushed. After 5 years now unfortunately had her a new and I opted for this. Moulinex's a well-known brand with quite a good reputation. Unfortunately, I find the Mixergebniss not satisfactory for my purposes. Anyone looking for a mixer which is only coarsely crushed in the right place. Potatoes and vegetables creates this device still without problems. Pasta and rice, even cooked completely soft not go. There remain uniform size pieces, no matter how thin you make the broth or how long you Pürriert. After 1-2 minutes you realize then how the Mixer is hot. To turn on my first try pasta in fine pulp was the mixer for sher short time so hot that I could use it not longer, despite fairly thin consistency.
