When we asked to have SIMPLE blenders for testing without “frills” in the form of nozzles, containers, choppers, etc. the manufactures responded in a peculiar way: almost all blenders we received had a full arsenal of “frills. But our purpose is to compare the performance of the main tools: blender and whisk, and the consumer will choose the required modification – with or without grates, bowls, nozzles and accessories.
12 FRIENDS OF A DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE
In the testing took part models:
| – Bamix M120 Magic Wand AX0 | – Kenwood Triblade HB724p |
| – Braun Multiquick 5 MQ 535 Sauce | – Moulinex Infiny Force DD868 |
| – Clatronic SMS-3455 | – PANASONIC MX-SS1 |
| – Electrolux ESTM 6400 ULTRAMIX PRO | – Philips HR1634/80 Viva Collection |
| – Element el’stick EW01PW | – Polaris PHB1024AL |
| – Hotpoint-Ariston HB 0703 AX0 | – Stadler Form Blender One SFB.500 |
AS WE TESTED
AS WE TESTED
So, having received the most diverse equipment for the test, we were forced to bring all our blender household “to a common denominator”, namely:
Checking the quality of work chopping and whisking , tested only the main attachment and the whisk.
Checking the usability, we paid attention to control, grip, attachment of nozzles, cord length, noise level, safety – that is, the possibility of accidental activation of the blender as a result of a careless touch on the control panel.
The other features – nozzles and other accessories – have been described in detail, but have not tested their capabilities, because they all have very different equipment and it would not be a valid comparison.
