The design
Appearance is an important characteristic of the Ariete blender.
The design is a timeless classic, the memory of 50-60s of the last century, the age of spring and rebirth, when the space became closer and everyday life became easier.
The blender body stands on tall legs, looks slender and sleek. It is made of plastic, but it looks expensive and solid.
The engineers managed to combine compactness and capacity in this device.
The maximum volume is one and a half liters. Smoothies enough for everyone.
The jug made of transparent plastic has a small spout, through which it is convenient to pour smoothies into glasses.
Rectangular-shaped handle consists of two layers and the inner part is a little rough to the touch, which prevents it from slipping even in a wet palm.
Sophisticated shape twin blender blade. In addition to the four blades pointing upward, it has two more blades pointing downward. This design allows you to mix evenly, even a large number of ingredients.
Long cord so blender can be placed far enough from power source.
The lid is the same color and texture as the handle of the blender. The main part of it is made of white shiny plastic. The small opening inside closes with a lid – a measuring cup on which there are marks – 10 and 20 ml.
Naturally, even a new blender does not smell, which indicates the high quality of the materials used.
Test the convenience
The pitcher can only be placed on the body in a fixed position. To do this, you turn it clockwise, and then the latch under the handle falls into a special hole, and the glass is fixed in its place.
The lid is also equipped with a latch for locking. To open it, you need to pull the special button.
It is quite difficult to set tightly the lid on the jug: it is very tight in place, and you need to make a certain effort. And the lid is a bit hard to remove, but maybe this is a temporary drawback that is only seen with the new device
.
Even the measuring cup fits in the grooves and will not come out even if you flip the lid. The hole is not very big, so we have to add ingredients in small portions.
This blender is equipped with a clear and well-thought-out safety system. Not only that, it will not work in the absence of a bowl or if it is installed incorrectly.
Blender will not turn on if you forget to close the jug with the lid or do it carelessly. The manufacturers made sure that the kitchen and clothes stay clean even for the most forgetful owners who decided to make smoothies without a lid.
Controls
On the body there is a rotary switch.
A little turn to the right – you switch on the first mode, a little more turn – the second mode.
Turning it to the left activates the pulse mode. In this case, the blender will work only as long as you keep your finger on the switch.
Symbols of modes are applied very small, but it does not hinder the process of work absolutely, because it is not necessary to look at the switch, everything is logical and simple.
Checking the functions
They say to turn it on for only 30 seconds and then take a break. I’ll tell you right away, “not enough”, especially if you are chopping fruit. It still takes 40 to 50 seconds to make a homogeneous mixture.
The ice added immediately to the smoothie mix was badly crushed. For the next smoothie I did so: first I put the ice on, turn on mode 2. After about 20 seconds, I turned off the blender and added the rest of the ingredients and liquid. With this operating algorithm, everything is chopped much more efficiently.
We checked the capacity of the blender and it shows 300 Watt at the most. Even the ice did not need to be crushed to a maximum speed.
Manufacturers recommend using a pulse mode to grind ingredients, turn on the device for a few seconds, then take a break and turn it on again. With this method I easily crushed two packs of cookies to make the plum crumble, which is fashionable this summer. The blender also quickly coped with cloves.
Care
The lid can be washed in a dishwasher, but the jug with a knife – no, only manually. But it’s not hard at all if you take care of the washing right after making a smoothie.
Take advantage of the self-cleaning function. Manufacturers do not write anything about it, but you can pour a little warm water into the jug, add a drop of detergent, close the lid, turn on the blender and the walls of the body will be cleaned from dirt. The only thing left is to rinse the bowl well.
Overall impression
Blender Ariete 568 – the perfect gift. It looks great, is easy to operate, quite functional. Suitable even for the most absent-minded users, as it prevents them from getting the kitchen dirty.
The most controversial point is the difficult procedure of closing and opening the lid: you can break a fingernail, it is very tight. Sometimes I had to fumble with it for 2-3 minutes to close tightly around the perimeter, and then I had to exert some effort to open the jug.
This blender is a novelty in the American market.
Fans not only of functional, but also of beautiful technology will appreciate this device: the model looks very noble.
The design, the impossibility of switching on without a lid, the large volume of the jug combined with the overall compactness of the device, convenient operation.
Short running time without interruption.
