MOULINEX
Moulinex 600W 2L Blender with Extra-Large Food Chopper Grinder Attachment (LM42X127)
Key Features & Specifications:
1. Powerful 600-Watt Motor:
-
Provides strong, consistent power to crush ice, blend frozen fruits, and puree tough ingredients smoothly.
-
Handles heavy loads without straining, ensuring efficient performance.
2. Large Total Capacity (2 Liters):
-
Blender Jug: The main pitcher has a generous 1.5-liter capacity, ideal for making large batches of drinks, soups, or sauces for the whole family.
-
XL Chopper/Grinder: The included mini chopper has a 0.5-liter capacity, making it an "XL" or extra-large version compared to standard small choppers. This is perfect for preparing salsas, pesto, breadcrumbs, or grinding meat.
3. Two Appliances in One:
-
Main Blender Unit: The base houses the motor and the control interface. It is designed to accept both the large blender jug and the chopper attachment.
-
Durable Blender Jug: Made from shatter-resistant plastic, it is lightweight and safe. It features clear measurement markings for easy portioning.
-
Stainless Steel "Pro" Blades: The blender's blades are made from durable stainless steel and are designed to create a vortex for perfectly smooth blending results.
-
XL Plastic Chopper Bowl: The 0.5L chopper bowl comes with its own set of sharp, stainless steel S-blades, optimized for chopping, grinding, and milling.
4. Simple and Intuitive Controls:
-
Features a straightforward pulse function for full user control. The pulse button allows for short, powerful bursts of power, which is essential for achieving the perfect texture when chopping without over-processing.
-
May also include a continuous speed setting for longer blending tasks.
5. Safety and Convenience Features:
-
Secure Locking System: Both the blender jug and the chopper attachment must be correctly locked onto the motor base for the appliance to operate, preventing accidental activation.
-
Non-Slip Feet: The base has rubberized feet to keep the unit stable and in place during operation, even at high speeds.
-
Easy to Clean: The blender jug, lid, chopper bowl, and blades are all dishwasher safe for easy cleanup (always check manufacturer's instructions).
6. Design:
-
Typically features a modern, sleek design with a white or grey motor base and clear plastic jug, consistent with Moulinex's functional and clean aesthetic.
What It's Best For:
-
Blender Jug: Smoothies, milkshakes, protein drinks, soups (like tomato or squash), pancake batters, sauces, and purees.
-
XL Chopper Attachment: Chopping onions, garlic, herbs, and nuts; making breadcrumbs; grinding coffee beans and spices; preparing small batches of salsa or mayonnaise; mixing dressings.
What to Consider:
-
Not for Heavy-Dough Kneading: The chopper is not designed for very heavy tasks like kneading bread dough.
-
Plastic Construction: The jug and chopper are plastic. While shatter-resistant, they can stain over time with ingredients like turmeric or tomatoes.
