Appearance and equipment
Blender body made of stainless steel and soft-touch material (rubberized matte finish, literally translated from English as "soft to the touch").
Stainless steel buttons, large and fluted to prevent fingers from slipping during use. It takes a little effort to push.
The power regulator is located on the top of the blender, made of the same Soft-touch and steel, has a smooth ride.
The power cord of this blender is in the form of an elastic band (like a telephone handset cord). The length of the wire without stretching is about 50 cm, but if stretched, then about 100 cm.
The diameter of the main part of the blender is about 4 cm, which is quite convenient even for a fragile woman's hand.
Main nozzle chopper completely made of stainless steel. The metal is well processed, has a slight sheen. The depth of the bowl is about 3 cm, there is a 2-blade knife inside, this ensures perfect chopping of products and eliminates the formation of splashes.
For the convenience of cleaning and washing the attachment, the knife can be removed, as it is attached to the thread.
Whisk for beating the standard shape, as well as the main nozzle, is made of stainless steel. Made quite securely. This nozzle can also be disassembled for easy cleaning.
Chopper bowl made of transparent plastic, and the cover is made of black rubberized plastic. There are 4 rubberized feet on the base, designed to prevent the bowl from sliding over the surface during cooking. On the sides there is a graduation in milliliters, which is more familiar to the Russian man in the street, as well as in fluid ounces, which is typical for the English or American system of measuring the volume of liquid.
A similar gradation exists on measuring glass, which is also made of transparent thick plastic.
The knife of the chopping bowl is made of molded black plastic, which is felt by its weight. There are two very sharp knives on the nozzle, during cooking and washing, you need to be very careful not to cut yourself.
The attachments are attached to the main part of the blender using two mechanical buttons, with their help they are removed.
The mechanism for connecting parts is made of plastic, but despite this, everything looks very high quality, has no gaps or backlashes. Outwardly, it looks quite expensive.
Functions
The hand blender is ideal for making pureed soups, baby food, cocktails, desserts and various sauces.
The whisk attachment is suitable for beating eggs and cream, making creams and batter.
The chopping bowl is suitable for working with vegetables, fruits, nuts, meat and some types of nuts. It is advisable to pre-grind the desired product into small parts to keep the blender in working order.
Things to avoid when working with a blender (precautions):
- The immersion end is not designed to handle ice, frozen or dry (solid) food.
- The whisk is not suitable for making tough dough.
- The chopper bowl should not be used to chop ice, hard nuts, cereals or coffee.
This blender can, of course, cope with all the tasks described above, only its service life will be significantly reduced.
Operation and experience
Stylish design... There is not a single superfluous detail. Very nice Soft-touch material. Personally, I like this kind of coverage. Of course, time will tell how appropriate it is for a blender, but it's nice to hold it in your hand.
The LED backlight pleased me, not to say that this is a necessary function, but it looks beautiful and exclusive, and also organically fits into the design of the blender.
Not bulky. It is not very noisy. Does not vibrate during operation.
It fits in the hand very comfortably, does not strive to slip out at all. Compared to similar models, it is heavier. Whether it is plus or minus, you decide. Personally, I decided that this is a plus, because there is no need to make an effort to dip when preparing puree or any dessert.
Convenient buttons - large, non-slip, do not require much effort to press.
The immersion part is made of good and durable metal. Has sufficient chopper bowl depth to avoid splashes and speed up the cooking process. And do not worry that the nozzle may deform due to the high temperature of the product.
Power - 600 W, which allows you to grind food quickly and without any difficulties without any problems. The speed switching levels work correctly and are conveniently located. The turbo mode also performed well. I have used different speeds on different products and I can say that nothing is impossible for him. He does his job perfectly.
The sharp knife in the grinder is a godsend. Cuts, grinds and crumbles everything!
Cooking minced meat for cutlets, for example from chicken fillet, is a pleasure with this blender - a couple of minutes and the perfect minced meat is ready!
A banana ice cream milkshake is not a problem. Uniform consistency and gorgeous foam.
By the way, the measuring cup and chopper bowl have a convenient volume of 500 g, which is suitable for preparing 1-2 servings of dishes.
The puree soup is ready in 2-3 minutes, the dough and cream whisk perfectly, even at medium speed.
Grind herbs, vegetables, nuts, meats, or liver quickly and easily to the desired consistency.
The blender has a convenient hanging hook so that it is always at hand, and you don't have to go into the bins and look for it. But I would probably make the cord a little longer or less tight, a couple of times the blender tried to escape to the outlet.
All nozzles are washed under running water, but if necessary, everything can be taken apart and rinsed more thoroughly. In general, everything is easy to assemble, disassemble and clean.
Summarizing
Summing up, we can say that this blender is a good option, especially given its low cost. In this price segment, you will find many options, but the equipment and build quality will be lower.
