Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Many parts to store, no storage for additional attachments such as citrus juicer, scale plate, max fill disc and additional large processing bowl.
  • Possible hand access through large chute.
  • Difficult to grip control dial.
  • No hand protection when using juicer attachment, juice can run into processing bowl.
  • Unit can move on bench.
  • Bulky parts, some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices.
  • Bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spilling into unit.
  • Stainless steel exterior shows fingerprint marks, requires extra attention.
  • Due to inbuilt scales, best to leave unit out on bench and minimize movement in order to prevent damaging scales.
  • Very noisy during processing.
  • Separate spindle needs to be inserted into base of unit first then processing bowl over top, annoying if not put in place before the bowl.
