Beware: The mixier only operates at 300W Power. Average Indian Mixie
Update Oct/2012
I recently bought a Kill-a-Watt power meter and connected this Mixier and it is only using 300W power and not 750 Watts as advertised. I always have wondered why a 750 watts mixer grinder is not very powerful and now I know the reason. Consumer's are misinformed by either the marketer or the manufacturer.
PROS:
1) The cheapest Indian Mixer grinder I found in Amazon (I bought it for $80).
2) It has three jars which is useful for most of Indian family needs.
3) The seller delivered the product on time and as promised.
Cons:
1) This Mixer trips a lot (even with a small amount of load), which is a not good thing. However there is a trip switch in the bottom which we can use to temporarily enable it again.
2) The product as it delivered to our home appeared as if it is manufactured at least 2-3 years ago. It appeared old (but not used) and the washers in the jars smelled like old ones.
3) The Mixer advertises as 750...
CRAPPY! no.. no... CRAPPIEST Grinder ever
I am really surprised this thing got good reviews.
The blades of both of my Jars are stuck after one time use. They don't move no matter what I do... Reason the grinding particles are getting stuck in the thing that spins the blade. Once they dry up there is no where to move.
Lost $100 bucks on this thing.
It trips most of the time saying overload.. I am this close to throwing it out. Only thing stopping me are the $ 100 I spent.
I am able to use only 1 jar that too with lot of pouring hot water , trying to check on the blades if they can move before I start grinding... The blades don't move smoothly after 30 min of this exercise. Now I put it on the mixie turn it on with water only before the blades become free... The worst thing is no matter how much you clean before and after the blades always become hard to move.
My review in one sentence.... CRAPPIEST Mixer grinder ever
Cheap roadside quality
I bought this in desperation to buy a mixer grinder that meets the functions typical Indians need. In India, we wouldn't even give it a second look.
Cheap road side plastic with no standards... the parts look as if they are moulded by hand.
The plug doesn't fit standard american plug points.. I had to buy an adapter.
The steel jars are good, but the fitting of blades and it's plastic parts make it functionally unreliable.
It stopped working after two and half months.
It was used mainly to make chutneys.. grind soaked urad dal and rice for dosas. Something typically done almost 2 times in a week in India... and I wonder, how those we use in India last for years in India.. I am using Prestige since 7 years now... it works without glitch.
