I have the machine now for almost two years. At first I was excited. It is robust and a jewel for every kitchen. The electronics, however, is extremely vulnerable. After less than a year the safety switch was broken, which prevents the machine can be switched on when the mixer head is raised. When bringing down the mixer head of the switch blocked the electronics, and I always had to repeatedly Folding up and down the paddle before I was able to turn on the unit. Meanwhile, the electronic spins completely. The speed can no longer regulate, and the machine is working in all switch positions always at maximum speed, so that the dough injected through the whole kitchen. Through the resulting vibrations of the covering lid has been thrown to the accessory port on the still warm hot plate and partially melted. The unit is now in service. But the required spare parts not come ashore. Replacement of the device is also not possible because the machine with purple stripes is not available with other strips is however more expensive. So I have to wait now until the spare parts are delivered and installed at some point.
