Neutral:
Only +/- 1 year warranty from the manufacturer.
- / + Diameter of the opening for vegetables etc. a bit too narrow, cucumbers etc. must be divided longitudinally once.
+/- The three cutting plates are a bit thin, only 0.6 mm
Negatives:
- Cover must not be held under running water (not seen with other manufacturers but different)
- Cover cleaning only with a damp cloth
- No fine shredding disc, it will be again about 10 euros due.
Tip anticipate:
Who wants to simplify the miserable brushing, just takes some cling film and pulls it over the bottom of the gear cover, where the green plastic sprocket sitting, a small hole cut and push the slide on the pinion upward briefly testing whether the film is not pulled and is good.
If, in addition also more hygienic.
To use the cutting and shredding disc, a hole the film must also be cut, take care not entrained by the cutting sheets. If you have a lot to snip, you can see the film with Tesa fix.
Is not the ultimate, but what can you do?
I bought the Zauberette together with the wand G 200. Together therefore to get to a working height of 52cm. Is quite high, but it sits very stable and does not fall to.
I had in mind only that the knife would soon revolve to cut eg onions, but when I wand G200 intervened, I was surprised how slow the blades moving, my old machine (NoName) was much faster, and I had Always Intermittently on and off to get no porridge. I think fiend has here installed inside more gears to reduce the speed of the wand.
To cut vegetables so you have to for example cucumbers, radish etc. once slitting into two halves, to get them into the hole. What also is not tragic.
The opening measures approximately 5.9 x 3.0 cm and is slightly oval.
The pot itself measures 14 cm in diameter inside, and is connected to the pull-out bottom 8.5 cm high. Without pull-out bottom 8.85 cm and holds approximately 1.3 liters.
Who needs to cook much, just has to provide a larger bowl / vessel, since one anyway but ect several ingredients for salad. has, and anyway it "restructures", this should be a real problem, also can be the ceiling by simply forking out and take off easily removed and connected -The with the spindle in the center thanks to the removable floor actual, is the empty right fix and effortlessly.
The floor was all around provided with a rubber ring, thus slip the pot is not on the work surface.
The disk for three cutting plates, ect for vegetables. is made of high quality plastic (I suspect POM), it is dimensionally stable and slightly flexible and has been cast in one piece.
The cutting plates are made of stainless steel and with 0.6mm quite thin, the cutting width is equal for all three about 4 cm.
The two rasps are quite rough and not really suitable for eg fine carrot salad. The strips are produced, should be thereabouts 1,8x4 mm at the finer grater. And at the coarse 2,6x5,5 mm.
The two-bladed knife was poured into plastic and measures in Ø 12.9 cm, is about 6.5 cm wide, and the sheet thickness is 1mm.
The lid is the only shortcoming of the device, since it can not be held under running water and therefore can not be placed in the dishwasher. Here we must be content only with a damp cloth, to rid it of leftovers.
Since it is possible indeed, such a mechanism Waterproof to produce, I do not understand why fiend is it so hard here.
A seal ring and two shaft seals would certainly have been not much more expensive, with the horrendous price that would be securely attached. But that is not even allowed to hold under running water to cover, has something to do with stinginess.
What is the mechanism inside, I can not say (open is not readily possible), here must simply show the time if the quality is right.
According to the manufacturer, there are on the unit only 1 year warranty, after that there is still one year Genwehrleistung seller.
