Video review of the BOSCH MFQ 36490 450W blender see below.

Mixers are both stationary and manual. But manual models not too comfortable: you have to keep them in your hands all the time, and if it lasts long enough, your hands get numb and tired. Another thing - stationary mixer. You can simply turn it on and leave it to work, at this time doing very different things. These mixers come with a metal bowl and a plastic one. They are not very different - the metal is made of stainless steel, and the plastic is very durable. So they are made, as a rule, on conscience.

Going to the store, or ordering a model via the Internet, it is worth remembering about several things. For example - a rotating bowl is needed in order to better stir the dough, and a powerful mixer can never cost a penny, and power is one of the most important selection criteria. The body material, of course, also plays a role.

Immediately pay attention to the volume and understand whether you have enough of such a bowl or it, on the contrary, will be large, and also check that the bowl has a lid, because it allows you not to spill the contents. The number and functionality of nozzles is important, if you use a little, and if you need a lot.

It is worth paying attention to some additional functionality, such as the presence of speeds, protection, duration of continuous operation, and so on. Not the last role is played by well-known companies, because trusting them, as a rule, is not disappointed. But there are a few points that should be considered more carefully.

Choosing a certain power, it is, first of all, to understand what exactly it will need. If you are going to whip proteins or batter - you will have enough power up to 250 watts. But for something more serious, the device is needed already stronger.

The body is made of plastic, glass or metal. The plastic case is less durable and is most often present in the most budget models. However, in many models, plastic is durable. Glass models look good and strong enough, but poorly resistant to all sorts of damage. Metal is considered the strongest, because all the machines are made of stainless material.

A variety and functionality of nozzles is very important. There is a whisk to whip the cream, and special hooks for the dough, as well as nozzles to make mashed potatoes and chop the right products. Sometimes this includes an electrocautery.

The more this or that model of speeds, the higher the number of different functions.Turbo mode increases speed and allows you to deal with the lumps, but use it is advised not more than a minute. Pulse mode independently adjusts the speed of rotation of the nozzles. Protective function is a very useful thing. It protects the machine from overheating and automatically shuts off until the motor cools down.

If you are just starting to cook, and are not sure yet what exactly you will need this technique, you should choose something standard. Like Bosch MFQ 3555. And that's why - it costs not very expensive (from 2,600 rubles) and does its job well.

Properties:

• With a rotating plastic bowl;
• Power 350 W;
• Speed ​​- five;
• Pulse mode;
• Two nozzles: a whisk to beat and special dough hooks;
• Rubber grip.

Any item, whether it be things in the kitchen or somewhere else, has its pros and cons. And blenders, of course, is no exception.

Model Philips HR1565 is good in many ways. She is stylish, works well, has a nozzle for the test and a place for winding the cord, as well as three speeds. But she has three drawbacks. Whether they are significant or not is up to you. Firstly, it is impossible to remove the mixer from the stand without releasing it from the nozzle. Secondly, it is extremely difficult to find spare parts for this car, therefore, in the event of a breakdown, it will either be thrown away or spent a lot of time in the search. And thirdly, the beaters are not made of the strongest material and can easily break, especially if the mass that needs to be whipped is quite thick.

In the event that you are accustomed to cooking a lot, varied and constantly, you will need something more powerful than previous models.

Brand Stadler Form not very well known in Russia, but in Europe he has long held a brand. His kitchen mixer Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330 is an order of magnitude more expensive than the previous ones, but there are more functions.

For example:

• Power is much higher: 500 W;
• Twelve speeds, plus "turbo";
• Two nozzles: nimbus and dough hooks;
• LCD display;
• Manual and stationary mixer, a kind of “two in one”;
• Includes two engines;
• The instructions have recipes created specifically for this mixer.

Often there is not much space in the kitchen and there is simply no place to put a big mixer. So if you only need to shake cream, protein or knead the batter - Polaris PHM 3006B for you.

He has:

• Rotating bowl;
• Power is 200 W;
• Five speeds;
• Pulse mode;
• Two nozzles: for cream and for the test;
• Plastic case.

If you are a fan of a large number of functions, then you will need Bork E800. This company is known for its rather big prices, but also for its excellent quality. Buying a similar car, you will be sure that it can and will serve you for many years.

Let's take a look at the characteristics:

• The bowl is made of stainless steel, and the body is made of metal;
• Power is 1000 W;
• Twelve speeds;
• Four nozzles: dough, whisk, spatula, confectioner;
• Protective cover on the bowl;
• Planetary mixing;
• Touch control of the engine control;
• Security system that works automatically.

Users are most dissatisfied with the model Polaris. They say that the bowl does not rotate, as stated, and this is a very serious drawback. Another disadvantage is that the beaters do not reach the bottom of the bowl and, accordingly, cannot mix properly. Someone commented that this mixer is no different from the old Soviet ones.

Philips and Bosch keep the bar - about as good reviews as bad reviews. Many people write about the lack of power and the fact that the beaters break.

Bork makes buyers only delighted. Many write about the fact that he has become indispensable and performs a lot of work, for which he had previously worked on his own. The only drawback is that it is heavy, as it is made of metal.
