What customers don't like about Maxima 31cm 650W

  • Components and blending parts are not dishwasher safe and must be washed by hand
  • Heavy total unit weight of 4.6 kg can cause hand fatigue during continuous or extended use

Verdict

The Maxima professional immersion blender features a 31cm stainless steel shaft with a 23.5cm immersion depth, a foot diameter of 8cm, and a powerful, ventilated 650W motor operating on 230V. Key advantages include an impressive processing capacity of 60 to 80 litres, an ergonomic design, thermal overload protection, and a variable speed control switch ranging from 8,000 to 18,000 RPM for versatile grinding and mixing. However, a major disadvantage is that its parts are not dishwasher safe and must be washed by hand, while its heavy net weight of 4.6 kg may cause hand fatigue during prolonged commercial use.
