I have the machine now about 1 year and now everything has also been repeatedly tested. There are no problems with the mixing and dough hooks; that the bowl does not rest with the ground I can not confirm. - They must, of course, use it properly in the slot provided ;-) However, I am very disappointed by the rasping. There are coarse, medium and fine. I have tested it with carrots and kohlrabi. The gross plate cutting extremely large pieces, so you really 'Kauarbeit' has. The mean and the contrast are fine so fine that you can actually just 'mud' receives. There is also little difference between the two. I, etc. for Eischneeschlagen mostly use the hand mixer and the machine was purchased primarily for cutting and rasping, I'm not 100% happy with it.
