Here are the mixers and grinders I bought and the experiences I had with them, -Panasonic mixer from India (got it converted from 230V to 110V) - Cannot take more load. Takes around 2hr to make batter. Broke within 6 months. Converted mixer is a very bad choice. -Magic bullet - Good, but not for Indian kitchen. Need atleast 550 watt-power mixer with proper blades for Indian kitchen. -Ultra stone grinder - Excellent to make dosa and idli batter. It takes around 1hr to make batter. But its heavy, takes lot of space and hard to clean. Then, I started looking for a company-made 110V(not the converted), 550 watt-power or more mixer grinder which is easy to handle and clean as well. Well, finally I found Preethi Eco Twin Mixer Grinder. I got it from Great Elect. They delivered it within a week in a good shape. It has a warranty of one year. Parts and features are, - Basic unit has the motor. - There are two jars - 1.5 litre and 0.5 litre. Each jar has a flexi lid and dome lid. Flexi lids convert 1.5 litre jar into 1 litre jar and 0.5 jar into 0.3 litre. - 1.5 litre jar has three blades - Dry/Wet grinding blade, Mincer blade, Whipper blade. 0.5 litre jar has fixed multi purpose blade. - A stirrer - An overload protection switch beneath the basic unit, which is used to restart the mixer when it is overloaded and stops. I have been using this mixer from past 2 months on a daily basis. So far so good. Doesn't take much space on the counter and not that heavy too. Mixer is very efficient and powerful. I make batter in bigger jar with Dry/Wet grinding blade. It takes hardly 10 min. I usually put 2 cups of soaked rice at a time. Also, its very easy to clean. I use smaller jar to make chutneys, dry powders, chilli paste etc. Even a small quantity of ingrediants can be made into a paste/powder without water. I am happy with this buy. Also, I recommend it. UPDATE: Its been over a year with Preethi mixer and still fit and running good. I use mixer atleast twice a week to grind some kind batter or chutneys or dry powders. The mixer has never stopped due to overload and the maximum load I put is 3/4 th bigger jar. But some issues, - Its noisy (Noise has not increased though, just I am mentioning it now) - Flexi lids are dangerous when making puree. The liquid spurts out around the lid . Dome lids are better - There was rust formation near blade in smaller jar. It should be kept dry. The easy way to do it is, always keep jars inverted after wash. No need to tap dry also and this prevents it from rusting.
