The design of the Fresh Express Green I like very much. The green front is fresh and harmoniously rounded shapes. In addition, all parts, including the three different grater drums can be stowed on the unit. *****
2. GETTING STARTED
Filler neck and drum holder are a single part that can be fixed easily with a bayonet fitting on the unit. There is a large control panel at the top of the back half of the device. Power is supplied only with permanent press.
The cut material is pressed with a separate slide in the filler neck down. The various grater inserts can be readily in the appropriate area stuck. *****
3. FEATURE
First of all, I do not have great food processor. But with such an all-rounder does not want the Fresh Express also compete. Thought it is for small households and the adhoc needs. Slicing, grating, rasping I deal otherwise with a sharp kitchen knife, a grater and a vegetable slicer, ie manually. Against these alternatives to the Fresh Express compete. I tested various vegetables, cheese and nuts.
With all Reibegut course the size is observed. Giant cucumbers and onions do not fit into the filler neck, but that can be considered when you when shopping.
Sometimes clippings sets between drum and drum support. I did that happen on unpeeled cucumbers and nuts. This does not affect the operation and can be fixed quickly, by pulling the drum with the power disconnected and ausklopft.
3.1. Cucumbers
The green application produces fine, regular discs. Compared with knife and vegetables planing the surface is not as smooth (see photo, left Fresh Express). Overall, a good result. ****
3.2. Carrots
With the orange drum obtained finely shredded carrots, which differ in no way from the rasps of Julienne (see photo, left Fresh Express). However, it is much faster. With the result I am very satisfied. *****
3.3. Onion
Again, I have used the green use and of course, a not too large onion. The onion was very finely chopped, but full rings are not going arisen (see photo, left Fresh Express). A good knife cuts here better. ***
3.4. Parmesan
Here the orange insert must be selected, with the yellow, the unit is doing very difficult depending on the hardness of the cheese. Below come out fine Parmesan pins (see photo). ****
3.5. Hazelnuts
You can feel that this task is a challenge for the device with the yellow drum. But the results speak for themselves, finely ground nuts (see photo). ****
4. SAFETY
By exactly matching in the filler neck slider, it is impossible to get hurt in the operation. Unless you do not use this, but the fingers.
Fixed Suspended clippings can extract itself without cutting danger from the drum, best when the connector.
Likewise, the switching mechanism does not allow determining the safety is. *****
5. CLEANING
All moving parts must be free of residues quickly under running water, and can be washed by hand. The standalone unit is washable.
The centrifugal forces some cucumber slice lands outside the bowl placed below. But with my Gemüsehobel I leave much more tracks. *****
6. CONCLUSION
The Fresh Express is ideal in between for preparation of the middle portions or for the carrot salad.
Ideal for the small home he seems particularly suitable for seniors who no longer want to handle with a sharp kitchen knife. The Fresh Express is straightforward and may also be on the kitchen cabinet for its beautiful designs.
