Doxy, well, where does the gearbox come from?
What's the problem? With a jet? With your fingers?
Lieutenant, I'm blushing.
In short, I briefly painted the lack of a subject. Although, in general, the product is good, but still more compared to analogues, which are somehow quite frivolous. On the whole, Mogambo is satisfied, but it seems that half the cost is charged for "prestige", such as Shvis Made, all the cases ...
Probably, everyone present here read brochures on the subject, watched films, etc.
So, there all the time some engineers, developments and all that jazz are mentioned. However, I personally formed the opinion that if they have an engineer (s) there, then it looks something like this: in the building that is in the picture, sit the director, his deputy, his deputy, sales managers, ry on contacts with someone, secretaries, cleaners ... And behind this building there is such a little shed, like a toilet - there is an engineer. Only he is on vacation.
You say, I'm too critical, and who is he? Well, yes, yes, but judge for yourself:
They write that the device itself has not undergone any special changes since its inception - maybe this is good, but then, the merit here is only that of the very designer (too lazy to look at the name), and a good combination of circumstances. IMHO, the manufacturers of "ordinary" blenders (although Bamiks should be considered as usual, since it is the first) blenders in total have much more useful developments. The trouble is that all of them are "smeared" over different products, and so that all the chips meet in one - does not happen yet, despite globalization. Another problem is that all blenders, at least those that I know, are gross household goods, where cheapness (at least for the manufacturer) and rhinestones are in the first place ...
Take, for example, the Bamiks knife attachment system: yes, it is more reliable, because the spindle is connected to the motor "once and for all", without any plastic "stars" and unnecessary joints. Pros: tightness, absence of backlash (transverse) and, as a consequence, additional vibrations, small-size nozzles and simple design, which makes them easy to wash and store.
However, changing knives itself is inconvenient and traumatic. There is also the question of the hygiene of this system, because since the spindle can rotate, there is a gap there, which inevitably leads to the ingress of processed products into it. It is clear that the story is the same with a removable leg, but it would be possible to change only the leg itself (if there was such a possibility - the inaccessibility of spare parts for household appliances, apparently, there is something like a world conspiracy), and not the entire device. and on hand have only removable legs, and not whole devices. And you don't have to constantly pull from the network. This means that the title of "professional" Bamiks can only be worn by the motor.
About the motor.
I would like to glance at him, but the guarantee is not superfluous. So I judge from the pictures. Let's say they make the motors themselves, the winding, balancing they have there - everything is as it should be. It's fine. The AC motor is great. However, the absence of such motors in the overwhelming mass of household appliances is their cost. In fact, the price of really good DC motors that go into power tools is surprisingly low. Just like a normal open-frame motor is not much more expensive compared to any garbage in a glass.But, you know, when the number of products goes to the millions, and the retail price with all the mark-ups should be such that the product sells well - here every yuan counts, not that there ...
Somewhere I'm not there. So, about the Bamiks motor. Judging by the picture, it has its own external frame, it is also a counter holder, support bushings are pressed into it (or simply put :)). Apparently, the same frame serves as the very "super-duper system for removing heat from the engine." Let's admit. Everything is fine (except for the bushings), but otherwise what would you pay for? Moreover, the frame is necessary, not to plant everything directly into the plastic case (and you could ...). So where is the work of that very engineer - it is not clear. Now, if he would have taken, and turned the motor over with a collector "to the muzzle", like in Fein instruments - then yes. Then one could win in the coverage of the body at the top of it; True, at the bottom it would have become thicker, but apart from the appearance, which is already crap, it would not affect anything. But it would be more convenient to hold.
Plus, perhaps, the same heat dissipation would have improved due to the metal "leg". Although, not a fact. Apparently, ESGE engineers did not like this option - I don’t think that for so many years such an idea did not come.
By the way, why is there no speed control? So it is not really needed (and harmful for a motor without cooling - but there is a low speed, so it does not count), but the controller is cheap. Although, then you have to do the wheel. And the older models of the type are sealed ...
By the way, what for to do so many different options for the engine power and so many different cases and stands? Well, with a motor, okay, only the amount of wire is different, so everything is logical - the weaker, the cheaper. But the buttons are the same, the buttons are so ... Additional production lines only so that the owners of the coolest models do not think, what good, that they bought the same thing, only more expensive? And in general, leaking buttons on a device that works with liquids is not decent for a product from the type of a serious manufacturer.
More about safety and convenience: they would have made a detachable cord. First, it's just convenient. Secondly, it would be possible to pull it not from the outlet, but from the device itself - this, again, is more convenient, and therefore there is less temptation to change the nozzle with the device turned on. Of course, when washing, there is a chance of water getting on the contacts (if the cord were still removable), however, the possibility of it getting into the buttons does not bother anyone (or are there any seals for models without external rubber?).
Tired of writing, but I think you are tired of reading. Since this reading and writing has no meaning, whether this text is even complete nonsense, even a revelation - we will have only what we have at the moment ...
I will only write a little about Slicy, because to make a plastic grater, which was not actually invented yesterday, and which is produced in different versions by all and sundry (with varying degrees of success), you don’t need to be an engineer.
You can't wash the top. Wai-wai-wai. What's wrong with that? Two plastic gears coated with (God forbid) non-toxic grease? And if we could not make the gearbox collapsible (since it is simply impossible not to assemble it back :)) - it would be something to be proud of. Hygiene, again. And then, like a fool, wipe it with a cloth. And it's okay to take and wash.
And as long as the gearbox does not differ from that of any penny blender (well, the material, if only), they would have done it so that it uh ... different. If they had a planetarium, that would be yes. Given that everything is plastic, and the quality of the fit of the parts is at the level of "yes tea will not fall off immediately" the question is only in the molds. But it would be more difficult to stop the motor with a carrot.
By the way, what is the general difference between slice and other similar structures, to which a motor is also attached for the same money? Removable bottom? Not very impressive. The fact that the lid is not fixed, because of what everything rattles much more than it could? Probably this.Of course, I understand that everything can be quickly assembled, disassembled, removed with almost one hand, and the drive itself just attached and that's it; do not forget just to make sure that he puts on exactly and to the end, otherwise, I think, you will have to go for a new slice; and you can get hurt. By the way, there are much more potentially dangerous situations with this device than with any blender "for a thousand rubles from Auchan", don't you think?
Okay, tired already. I, perhaps, will not say that through the holes in the lid of the mill, products tend to outward, and although they do not always succeed in this, they still foul their leg. And I will not say anything about the flimsy stand either, although here the saving of plastic is not clear to me at all. So are the cups. A pitcher, by the way, is generally the apotheosis of the triumph of design ideas over thought as such. And it is inconvenient to hold, and if you bend the "nose" of the lid properly, you cannot close it back without removing the entire lid ... Well, the very quality of the cases, and everything else, is somehow not very Swiss. I have a few Swiss devices with motors, where, in addition to these motors, there is still a lot of things - somehow this Bamix of yours did not lie nearby. Although, for some reason, those devices are cheaper than a dead motor in a plastic cup (although some are more expensive, but there it is at least clear what you pay for :)).
