In our the stirrer does not appear in the bowl, so you do not offend. In addition, one must also say to that other blenders often still have disturbing more housing forms. The crowning glory is the "Braun 1000 Multi Quick". Meanwhile spider legs are almost always in the way.
Now to the benefits because other disadvantages I know even after 2 years of service not at home baking.
+ Quiet
& Bold (real 450W, the other customer review has been written by someone in this respect, unfortunately, has too little idea of "Electrical"; see comments on it)
+ Easy to clean
+ Quite stable (the predecessor of AEG, Krups and Aldi held only 2 years; the von Braun after all almost 4 years before their transmission failed)
+ Reasonably priced
- Handle tends to thin, so keep a bit exhausting for my working hands in the long run (as well as its predecessors were no better)
As seen above, I consider only the Brown for an alternative with respect to power and performance. Unfortunately, the cost but about 3 times and is not subjectively better processed.
