1. The WMF-Mixer is visually appealing and suits me well in hand, although it is quite difficult indeed (my old Krups Mixer 984 g, the WMF mixer 1074 g).
2. My 8 year old son was horrified: "Let us keep the now But he is way too loud!"
3. What good are my 5 speed levels plus turbo level 1, if the slowest stage is already faster than the fastest stage of my old blender? Slowly fold in here is so non-existent. And an advantage for stirring the turbo fast I can not determine even; I have not measured it, but a cup of cream stirred the WMF Mixer felt even faster. The upshot is now that I still keep the old blender and googling will see if I, for non-pleasure can still return the WMF mixer, which I bought about 4 weeks ago.
I would buy the mixer under no circumstances again.
Addendum of 13/01/2014: The REWE store my confidence has really taken to the mixer account of what I have described above, without hesitation back and paid me the money back. Lo and behold, I could see that the seller has done the blender in the office on an existing stack WMF mixer, probably everything returned mixer that go as returns on WMF ...
