Since these mills actually works without problems with batteries (Eneloop), their use is resource-saving and justifiable. The result is not as perfect as on the advertising pictures on the package, the material looks after definitely not as good as new, but the nodes of chunky knit sweaters can be very good and easy to remove. Unfortunately, the appliance smells very metallic after a few minutes use, but you can live with. The cover of the milling head was already bound in the package, as it but this is no impairment of the function, you can ignore the extent.
I'm missing the indication of origin on the device. Since nothing is recorded, you can probably assume that it was produced in China. According to the company website is a member of the BSCI WENKO - Business Social Compliance Initiative an initiative dedicated to improving social standards in the producing countries. Nevertheless, I would have liked that here the producers and suppliers to be disclosed.
