I am very satisfied with my purchase. I use it for my baby puree, soup for the family and also for making creams, sauces, etc ... Initially I was a bit skeptical by the various negative comments made about this product. Finally the conso service Russell Hobbs told me the plastic smell of burnt problems on the knife and the lid fleeing had been resolved. After, this device can not be considered a classic blender that will make a velvety soup ... there are only 2 blades (while a blender are usually 4). And if the soup has not stranded and velvety appearance, is that the auto cooking program mixes vegetables as and when cooking, this is why it only lasts 30 minutes! but it suits me very well. The only catch is that as it mixes in progressively cooking your robot will begin to mix intermittently for 30 minutes, so if you open kitchen, it can be a bit noisy! Moreover, I was a little confused at first, because everything is electronic ... so you can not just push a button to mix like a blender pulse button on ... we must always return the mixing speed , temperature, time, and press start ... otherwise it biiiiiipe, and sometimes it can be annoying. That is why I mentioned it needed a little time to tame, but once mastered, you can not do without!
