I bought this heating blender it two years ago because I wanted to replace the baby babycook a useful whole family unit. It has become a must, especially in winter, to homemade soups and purees. Indeed, only one device is sufficient: no need to wash the pot, blender and a serving dish. Everything lies in one device. You can make soups with fresh or frozen products; sauces and milkshakes are all easy to succeed. Only whipped cream chantilly (chocolate mousse recipe included in the box) was a failure. However, one caveat: that the bowl does not make more soup for 4 people. Attention also to the risk of overflow if you overfill the bowl. At home the blender dropped after 2 years of intensive use and as the appliance is guaranteed for 3 years, he was replaced at nine! Thank you for the seriousness and quality of the product!
