Equipment and processing (5/5):
The hand mixer is supplied with stirring and dough hook, a blender attachment and a measuring cup. The measuring cup can also be used as a convenient place to store accessories, searching and thus lying around so today.
At the cable of the hand mixer is additionally a small clip, which can be used to fix the cable to the mixer after the winding of the power cord. I find that very convenient, thus an end to the cable clutter.
The processing of the device is very good. If you want to put in the blender to blender down, you have to first before the flap push aside, thereby automatically pushes a small flap in front of the openings for the stirring hook. I think that's well thought out, to avoid injury.
Operation (5/5):
The operation is very simple. Works to turn on the FLEXIMIX serves an a switch with symbols. The performance of the device can be controlled through 5 stages, in addition there is also a Turbo button. This also serves to operate the Pürierfunktion.
Very handy is that you have no longer sure that hooks must be inserted into which opening, because they fit in both is. Now that's progress of meaningful way.
Cleaning (4/5):
The cleaning of this equipment is really easy, because the parts are also dishwasher safe. The hand mixer itself can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Since it can happen during mixing of heavier dough sometimes that these moves toward the unit upwards, the dough sits sometimes unfavorably between the cracks fixed. Here the cleaning is a little more difficult.
FLEXIMIX function (4/5):
The FLEXIMIX function serves to ensure that the hooks during stirring can follow the curves of the vessel better and thus more difficult to reach the ingredients are well mixed. I have to admit honestly that I had expected more from this function, but I noticed the "normal" mode is not much difference. The mixing of all ingredients work by the additional function may be somewhat faster, with the thoroughness there was no difference for me.
Blender function (3/5):
Originally, I was having very taken with the idea, blender and hand mixer in one device, then do not buy as many kitchen utensils you. However, I am in hindsight glad I my "normal" blender did not equal lent, because I do not use the hand mixer very happy with the blender. On the one hand, I find that the pureeing not so fine and fast works as with my previous blender. Perhaps this has to do with the blades which are somewhat smaller in comparison. In addition, the hand blender as blender is very unwieldy. The whole structure is much too large for my taste and especially with the time also too heavy.
Performance (5/5):
Via the power you look at this hand mixer not complain, with 550 watts infected because a lot of power in it. Very good I think the 5 speeds with which you can adjust the speed according to your needs.
In long-term test (20 minutes of stirring at a time) the device has also made a good impression with me. The hand mixer has indeed become slightly warm after such a long time, but has persevered without problems.
Conclusion (4/5):
Overall, it's a good device, especially with good equipment, good workmanship and well thought out features. Whether the longevity is assured, I can not judge, but should hold the device reliably for many years, the purchase is worth in any case.
Only the function as a blender, I find not very good. If you want to buy a blender, you should rather look elsewhere.
