Care needs to be taken when assembling and disassembling. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Due to inbuilt scales, best to leave unit out on bench and minimize movement in order to prevent damaging scales. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Large glass blender is heavy and takes up space when not in use. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Large processor bowl is awkward to clean in a domestic sink. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Lots of parts which are bulky and some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Do not run the machine for longer than 1 minute without a rest period. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spills onto the unit.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Large glass blender is heavy, base is removable but strength required to remove for ease of cleaning around blade.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Separate spindle needs to be inserted into base of unit first then processing bowl over the top.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Fairly heavy unit. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; No ON indicator light. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Stainless steel exterior shows fingerprint marks and requires extra effort to clean. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Fairly basic instructions, covers parts and accessories not included with this particular model and includes other languages, can be confusing.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Processor blade performs better than the dough blade for pastry. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Continuous turning of dial to pulse can be annoying. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Unit can jolt with heavy load. u003cbru003e
