ERGONOMICS AND SAFETY
Blender was designed with input from professional chefs, and as you know, most of them are men. One of the biggest and heaviest models tested, with an extra long main attachment 25 cm , while the usual length of the “leg” is about 20 cm. Indeed, the device is perfectly adapted to work with deep pots and other large dishes, looks solid and stylish, not without reason, in 2012 it won the prestigious international award in the field of design.
The handle is ergonomic and anti-slip, the power and turbo buttons are big and wide not for women’s fingers but very comfortable and safe. You can’t press them by accident by just pushing them in – you need quite a lot of contact. And yet the locking system is missing.
Attachment system – 1 click-button – the most convenient in the test. Wall bracket is available to store the blender upright and where it will always be handy.
The long, almost two meter long wire allows you to work quite far from the outlet average length of wire in blenders is 120-150 cm . You can adjust the speed with the lever on top of the blender, and it’s easy to do with your free hand while it’s running.
The device runs quite quietly.
FUNCTIONAL
The number of speeds is not specified, and this is not necessary, the main thing is that they switch smoothly and have a turbo mode. Since a large professional appliance with a wide nozzle is difficult to use in small or portioned dishes see the following table , it is difficult to use in small or portioned dishes. below , a 1 liter chopper bowl comes in handy. But in our test we only tested the 2 main attachments: the blender and the whisk.
QUALITY OF WORK
Vegetables. Once again, especially for this model, we specify that we test all devices in the same pot with the same products: a small soup bowl, and in it – broccoli, potatoes and some broth: simulate the preparation of puree soup. The result – after the second try, there were lots of ungrindable potato pieces in the bowl anyway. The process looked like this: the centrifugal force pushed them to the edges of the nozzle, and there they got stuck in the “bell” slots.
Milkshake with frozen strawberries. In our 8.5 cm diameter dough mug blender nozzle did not fit, had to use a soup bowl. The food stuck in the nozzle again, only now the strawberries got stuck, and since they were frozen, they got stuck tightly. Especially for this blender we gave the strawberries half-thawed and repeated the test. No smooth process.
Protein. Perfect. I want to say a lot of kind words to those who came up with the idea of using a double whisk in a blender, as in a classic mixer. Only had to whip in our test cup – the 2 whisk just wouldn’t fit in it. That’s why in this case the “pure experiment” didn’t work, but nevertheless the protein was excellent, the consistency was strong, there was no separation of foam and liquid. In terms of protein whipping quality, this blender is one of the top three in our test.
NOTE FROM THE “CONSUMER”
Outside of testing, we continued to use this appliance to see if there was an error, and if possible, to understand the cause of the failures. Our conclusion is that the main nozzle works much better in deep saucepans when it is completely immersed in soup or puree. The device is really not adapted to small dishes, portioned cooking is possible not in a plate, but in the bowl of the chopper included in the kit. This blender is more suitable for cooks and people who cook in large quantities, but the mother with a child for whom you need to prepare a single 150 grams of baby food or a portion of smoothie – no.
Suitable for deep dishes, great whisk, excellent whisking, convenient attachment of attachments, wide buttons, turbo mode. Quiet operation. Will make a man get up to the stove, because it looks like a “Mercedes” among blenders.
Unsatisfactory chopping results in portioned dishes. The result of chopping in a deep dish is great.
