Preethi Eco Twin Jar Mixer Grinder, 550-Watt

Some one pls update the price

The price rate mentioned here is extremely high. Need to review.

I bought this for my Mom after watching a video review on Amazon USA that clearly demos its noise level. So, no surprises when she used it - wow, it's loud! :-) Sounds just like a heavy-duty drill or table saw in action. Other than this, it works exactly as promised to easily create any soaked lentil/ rice batters, chutneys, spice powders, milkshakes and pretty much anything that needs a fine paste/ grind. I found the 2 flexi lids that instantly convert both jars into smaller sizes to be a far more practical feature than buying the model with 3 diff. jars (Preethi Eco Plus) as it takes less space to store. Approx. dimensions: 7" W x 11" L x 14" H with chutney jar & lid and 18" H with 1.5L jar & lid. Has a total of 4 blades - 3 steel & 1 plastic. One steel blade's fixed in the chutney jar and can't be removed. The other 2 steel ones are for dry-wet grind and mince-grate plus a plastic whip-blend one; all interchangeable for the 1.5L jar. Even though it's lightweight, those handy suction feet do keep it securely in place. My Mom has used it almost daily for the past 45 days with no complaints. Quality of construction is decent and nothing looks like it will fall apart too easily. Also, the enclosed DVD will help any newbie learn how to use the classic Indian "mixie"! FYI - This product's video on Preethi's YouTube channel is very helpful plus you can check videos for their other models to compare....made it easy to decide.

Jars are of perfect size and easy to clean. Each jar works excellent according to their capabilities. It will be a good addition to your kitchen if you are looking for a mixer. Small jar can be used for grinding spices, making puree in small quantities etc. Large jar can be used for idli, dosa batters, curry prep etc. I usually run clean water after usage and wash jars same day or next day max and have not experienced any rust. Occasionally handle screws are loosened but they can be easily fixed.

...and believe me, I have a lot of appliances! I got this one as my mother was visiting and required a food processor that would perform as well as the Indian mixers she is used to back in Mumbai. She tried using my Ninja, Braun food processor and Magic Bullet and was never really satisfied. So we got this one! It is truly a remarkable little mixer. Doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter, has good suction cups at the bottom of the motor which fix it to the counter while you are using the mixer, grinds everything to the consistency we need and is easy to clean up. I don't put it in the dish washer as I don't want to take a chance with the rubber tubing around the lid. Also we pulse the food in the mixer before starting to grind it (just as the instructions say). So far both my mom and I love this one more than any other appliance in our home. We have made dosa batter, dosa podi, masala powders, chutneys and many many other recipes in this grinder. It is used daily in our home! I also purchased the square trade protection plan for this as I wanted to err on the side of caution after reading some of the bad reviews! But since I was purchasing it from Amazon, I wasn't as worried about the first 30 days of use. We really put the grinder to the test during those 30 days and it has always come out on top! Very happy with this purchase and I wish I had bought it before spending money on all those other appliances!!

Good and still working.

I have used Preethi Mixer Grinder in the past and has met all my expectations. I was pretty happy as it did a great job. With my Preethi Eco twin Jar Mixer Grinder (latest purchase) i like it as it has smaller base and lighter as compared to my older model BUT it is too noisy. I live in a condo and little hesitant to use in the night as i may wake up my neighbours.
