for quite some time, I wondered if a robot could advantageously replace my MAP, my whip, my blender, my colander and others. I received in record time (48 hours after the order at amazon) it pm401 which in addition to its apparent strength, is extremely practical: I have already done: macaroons, meringues and bread I sifted flour mixture a powdered almonds mounted egg whites; short, but happiness the sound is more than bearable, and all that with exemplary solid feel. Kudos to Amazon for more than quick service See you soon
