Actually I bought the blender as a wedding gift. But I have previously informed me of other reviews and did not let it take me to try and release the blender before the Offer. The design I find elegant. The rounded shape I believe that you can clean the mixer easier. The housing piece with stainless steel and the rest of the mixer acts of high quality. The stirring rods are made entirely of metal. There is no engine air blown to the front where it could blow powdery Rührmaterial through the air. The volume is operating normally. The operating switches are easy to operate during Rührnutzung. The eject button is difficult to operate. The device is relatively compact so that it does not collide too fast during stirring with the stirring pot and thus can stir deep into the mixing bowl. The price is justified.
