I'm not equipped to make the pastry, so I have not tested the two kneading tools (dough and pie). By cons I could mount mayonnaise and meringue in minutes without any problems using the rotary whisk.
The utensils should be washed before first use, which also allows to become familiar with them and by removing the back. There is therefore a trouble 4l with three tools (so I have tested the whip), mixer bowl (soup, fruit or vegetable juice, etc.) and a multi-purpose bowl which can fix a rotating chopping blade (I prepare my burgers in directly with the cut meat, a small onion, herbs and Worcestershire sauce is ready in 20s to max speed), a disk with three blades, two for grated carrots, cheese, etc. and another for slicing cucumbers, potatoes, etc., and finally a juicer.
On the left side of the unit are two buttons:
- The speed control: back to full speed, it stops releasing; forward, a speed dimmer held from 1 to 10. Above is an illustration reminding the optimal speed range for each type of tool.
- Another button to press which is used to open trouble. My only minor complaint is about this: mess removable cap is too loose and you better keep it in opening and closing. But once closed it remains perfectly in place and no bowl does not project any drop of liquid on the outside, they are all perfectly tight when closed.
In fifteen minutes I was able to prepare a complete mixed salad (cucumber and sliced peppers 30s!) With mayonnaise and all the seasoning, and you only have to wash almost letting the tools removed soaked in dishwater, no is difficult to wash. You just be careful with the rotating blades sharp.
The device itself is based on suction feet and even at full speed it does not move at all. Everything is secure: a tool starts only if properly installed and secured. We can run a tool at a time, and mounting bases and multifunction mixer bowl are sheltered under aluminum plates to be removed before use, which gives it a rather elegant look in any configuration. While it is quite expensive to buy, but it replaces at least five separate kitchen tools and ultimately takes up less space. I especially liked the speed, stability and ease of maintenance.
