Already at the first operation there was a strong smell, as if it would blow at any moment. I thought that this sets the time. There has been, however, to this day still do not. From a brand like Philips I had something not expected.
In addition, the mixer has often to crush ice problems or frozen fruits. It simply backs up everything in the bottom of the glass container and the blades do not rotate further. This occurs at any wattage (revolutions) and even with the extra functions for crushed ice and smoothies.
On a positive note, that the mixer acts stable and a decent volume has.
On the whole, the mixer is not recommended because the smells an absolute no-go for are a blender to create the 70. The other manufacturers (for often less money) significantly better.
Update 25/02/15: After I've added customer contact Philips, my device will be replaced. The newer models are said to have no more problems. I then wait even curious to see if this is true.
