The Russell Hobbs 20320-56 Desire Mini-shredder with glass containers is a simple standard mincer. Previously I had a grinder of a local discounter in action, who had given up the ghost after only little use. The Russel Hobbs is a little more stable. An ideal device to shred to dried herbs or vegetables. For hard nuts, ice cream, etc. The device is, however, less suitable. With Walnuts That might still work, but once it is fixed, you thus his unit does not bode well. From the workmanship and quality it stands for the almost twice as expensive devices in nothing. Even devices of 80 do not have blade unit that is made entirely of metal nowadays. Everywhere plastic is installed, so you can not go wrong with this unit. The motor (Made in China) has 380 watt and is for domestic use normally sufficient. The maximum term is specified with 1 minute. The container is made of glass and bordered 1/2 liter. The glass container itself is not slippery. Handling could not be simpler. Herbal pure, lid on, press the button, ready. Top Pressing the button several times in succession, instead of letting through in continuous operation. The device crushed pears, apples and onions with 5, 6 impulses - carrots, biscuits, walnuts must have at least twice as many. Herb is best left in continuous operation there until everything is minced. The volume is martial and compared to a Braun appliance as different as day and night. Even my vacuum cleaner under full load is quieter! The engine sits a little shaky on, and the red storage cap, since both have a little too much play. Overall, a satisfactory device. If you expect more, you should seek advice in a Gastro retailers and access solution for professional users.
