Filling the vessel with the ingredients maximally up to the 600 ml mark. Then you screw the four-bladed knife attachment on it and put the whole thing upside down on the motor foot, while marks are to be considered for engagement and activation. There is no switch, by pressing the bottle the mixer is activated. One can also firmly anchor the unit, then immediately runs the mixer in continuous operation. Only when the vessel is turned back, stop the mixing process. For me personally, a on-off switch here would prefer, but you can get used to this system.
After mixing, turning the knife block from, caution that goes sometimes quite hard! The drinking cap draufkommt and from the mixer is a water bottle. You can fill in the result also in glasses, but there is a bottle closure, which does not always go off without dripping.

Convincing concept, for me, however, for two missing a second bottle for the tour. The mixer is quite noisy, but that probably have the equipment as per se. Annoying is that there is only one rotation speed, so far, the degree of reduction are controlled only about the duration of the Mixvorgangs. Who rather á la frappe like the ice that gets out is difficult.
Nevertheless, the device is sufficient for daily smoothie and provides easy to good results.
