Usually, if you want to squeeze juice and make soup, of course, you need a cooking mixer to save time and effort.
The latest issue of the Consumer Council's "Choice" monthly magazine selected 12 cooking mixers on the market for testing, with prices ranging from $529 to $4,670.
The results show that in general mixers, the brands commonly used by Hong Kong people, including Philips at RMB 2,198, Tefal from France, and Goodway at RMB 1,668, have the highest total score, reaching 4.5 stars (out of 5 stars).
As for the price of RMB 4,670, the most expensive blender in the test is the German Pool. Although it scored 5 out of 5 in the blending test, its overall cooking performance was only 3 and the overall rating was 4 stars.
The worst overall blender is the Turbo Italy, which is worth 998 yuan, with 3 points for overall cooking performance, 2 points for power saving, 2.5 points for safety, and an overall rating of only 2.5 stars.

Among the 12 cooking blenders tested by the Consumer Council this time, the overall performance was evaluated in terms of blending test, cooking performance, power saving, and safety.
Among the 8 general blenders (1.75 to 2 liters), the Philips Philips at RMB 2,198 scored 5 out of 5 in the mixing test and overall cooking performance, and achieved a safety level of 4.5. However, its power saving performance was slightly inferior. 2.5 points out of 4.5 stars overall.
The Weimaraner brand Goodway and French Tefal also have similar ratings to Philips, with an overall rating of 4.5 stars.
German Pool’s blender, which is the most expensive of all models at RMB 4,670, scored 5 out of 5 in the blending test and 4.5 in safety. However, the overall cooking performance was only 3 and the overall rating was 4 stars.
In addition, among the 4 small mixers (0.35 to 0.5 liters), the Proluxury of 529 yuan performed the best overall. Although the mixing test score was only 1 point, the overall cooking performance was also 3 points, and the safety level was 3.5 points. Overall rating is 3 stars.
The 1,988 yuan Cuisintec and Plot's Proluxury also scored 3 stars overall, with 3.5 points in both the stirring test and cooking performance, but the power saving performance was the worst among the 12 blenders, only 1.5 points.
Turbo Italy was the worst performer overall
The worst overall small blender was the $998 Turbo Italy, which scored 3.5 in the blending test, 3 in overall cooking performance, 2 in power saving, and 2.5 in safety, with an overall rating of only 2.5 stars.
The test also found that when Turbo Italy was cooking soy milk, the temperature rise measured at the part where the power cord was connected was 58K (1K means 1°C), which exceeded the upper limit of the standard (45K).
Cuisintec and Turbo Italy overheated during the 7th mixing, so that the overheat protection device activated itself and failed to complete the test.
In addition, there must be a certain distance between electrical circuits to prevent danger caused by short circuit, flashover, leakage and overheating.
However, in 5 blenders including Goldenwell, Poconda Primada, Proluxury, Cuisintec and Turbo Italy, the insulation distance between some internal live parts and user-accessible parts was insufficient.
