Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for ease of use.
  • Borderline for shredding cheese.
  • Only OK for slicing carrots, pressure causes the blade the slant.
  • Possible hand access to slicing shredding blades through large chute, no safety lock feature on chute.
  • Very noisy during processing on high speed.
  • Some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices, inside spindle can be difficult to clean.
  • No separate storage for attachments.
  • Bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spilling onto unit.
  • Continuous turning of dial to pulse can be annoying.
  • No ON indicator light.
  • Do not run the machine for longer than 1 min 30 secs. Switch off for at least 2 minutes to allow the motor to cool down, after 3 cycles allow to cool for 30 mins.
  • Separate blade holding disc for slicing and shredding blades. Limited grip on blades, which need to clip into blade on disc.
  • Separate spindle needs to be inserted into base of unit first then processing bowl over the top.
  • Only fairly stable on the bench as suction feet may not adhere to surface.
  • Fairly basic instructions.
  • No grip on whisk attachment for easy removal. Messy to remove.
