Almost all 16 blenders tested were able to make smoothies from fruit and vegetables. The situation is different when it comes to baby food. And when it comes to durability, both smaller and larger blenders have problems: four of the blenders were rated poor and two were rated sufficient...

This model is particularly strong when it comes to grinding food: almost no coarse particles are left behind. In addition, there are 3 different automatic programmes, which should be emphasised because not all stand mixers have them. The model is easy to use right from the start...

... For our smoothie and ice crush test, we use the corresponding programme button; for our nut mixture, we switch to top speed - as with all other stand mixers. The result: flawless in all disciplines. The Rommelsbacher MX 1250 has an RRP of 89.99 euros and we liked it best overall. It gets the grade very good and is our test winner.

Our test winner: The blender from Rommelsbacher convinces with very good blending results. Even solid dry ingredients are no problem for this appliance. The operation is simple and intuitive. It is comparatively heavy, which is good for stability.
