It transforms food. Depending on the device chosen, a multi-function robot can perform several of the following tasks: blender, mix, whisk, knead, knead, cut, chop, mince, grate and even serve as a juice extractor. They do not all combine the same functions. Before buying, therefore, check exactly what you plan to do with them: making milkshakes and smoothies, whipping the cream, beating the eggs, making mayonnaise, chopping, slicing, grating, etc.

What elements should you focus on?

Accessories

The appliance must have all the tools necessary for the culinary tasks that you are planning while also avoiding duplication with appliances that you already have (blender, blender, juicer, juice extractor …) Note that some accessories are sometimes available as an option (eg: dies for pasta, ice cream makers, meat grinder, etc.).

Appliance Size

Make sure you have enough space in your kitchen to place and store your chosen appliance. Some devices have a large number of accessories. If your space is limited, look instead for a model with an accessory storage area provided in the device.

Bowl Size

Large capacity bowl allows for preparing large amounts of food.

Wide Tube

Should be large enough to fit foods like potatoes in without having to cut them first.

Dishwasher

Choose a device with accessories that are dishwasher safe. Otherwise, washing by hand may become a real ordeal.
