Review of the blender "2 in 1" Kitfort KT-1344

As you already understood, when buying a blender you also get a chopper. In this way, domestic manufacturers have significantly increased the scope and effectiveness of technology.
The KT-1344 blender was delivered in a classic Kitfort cardboard box in raspberry purple. Traditionally, the handle for transportation is not found. The front part shows a blender and chopper with the inscription: “Always something new,” and one cannot disagree with this. Indeed, the Russian manufacturer constantly pleases the target audience with interesting solutions and offers. On the sides there is information about the technical characteristics and features of the equipment. While walking from the post office home, it was time to study important parameters.

Opening the box, I found:

• chopper bowl;
• blender bowl;
• compartment with a powerful motor;
• blender lid;
• cap for closing the hole;
• chopper cover;
• instruction;
• warranty card.

The instruction manual opened solely out of curiosity. Management is not difficult to figure out. However, if there is no experience in using blenders, I recommend that you pay due attention to the study of the instructions.

The blender and chopper look very convincing. As soon as I pulled the contents out of the box, I wanted to throw it as far as possible. Although next to her new kitchen helpers look very expensive. Actually, even without a cheap background, I can’t find fault with the design of technology. The engine compartment is made of stainless steel and high quality plastic. Actually, this can be understood even visually. In addition, he did not feel the unpleasant odor characteristic of cheap polymer compounds. It is worth adding that the device does not slide on the table, since there are legs at the bottom. The switch also looks quite reliable, it’s convenient to switch speeds. Knives are made of stainless steel. The cable is not too long, so you should think about the location of the device in advance.

The review of the Kitfort KT-1344 blender bowl will begin with the fact that it seemed very roomy. Volume 1.5 liters. There is a measuring scale. Despite the affordable price, made of glass. Handle without extra pads. Made simple enough, but this does not affect the usability. The lid for the blender bowl has a special compartment so that you can add ingredients. And I assure you that this is a useful option, since I managed to evaluate it during the first operation of the device. A special cap is used to close the hole.

Honestly, I doubted the quality of the chopper. As practice shows, advantageous offers from manufacturers of equipment in most cases are a marketing ploy. But not at this time. The bowl is made of stainless steel whose reliability there is no reason to doubt. A multi-blade knife deserves special attention, which, with the declared power, effectively copes with ice and other solid ingredients. The volume is 0.6 liters, which is enough to prepare most dishes for a small family of 2-3 people. It is worth adding in the description of the KT-1344 grinder that the developers took care of the presence of protection against switching on with the bowl removed.

Of course, the key difference between this model and analogues is the equipment. In addition to the fact that the base involves working with both a blender and a grinder, the Kitfort KT-1344 is attractive for its speed. It provides 3 speeds + pulse mode. Managing the platform is extremely simple. You set the speed depending on the properties of food. If you need to quickly grind or mix the ingredients, turn on the pulse mode. To do this, turn the knob to the "P" sign, and hold it until the assigned tasks are completed. By the way, it is better not to keep at maximum speed for more than 1 minute, although there is additional protection. Of course, I wanted to experiment, despite the recommendations of the manufacturers, and the result was quite predictable. After 1.5 minutes of using the blender at maximum speed, a slight smell of heated plastic blew. More manual mode is not abused.

It is worth adding that in most cases it is not necessary to control the process - we set the necessary speed according to the recipe, and go about our business. Note that when working for more than 2 minutes, the ingredients heat up significantly. Here the flaws of the glass handle of the blender bowl are manifested.

Noise figure is not upset but not happy. The maximum speed rose to 80 dBA. This is when using a chopper. As part of the operation of the blender, the motor did not give out more than 70 dBA.

In this part of the Kitfort KT-1344 blender review, I have nothing to surprise you with. If you wash the bowl after use, care will consist in simply rinsing the containers with water. Throughout the entire operation of the devices, I have never had to deal with cleaning knives. If you do not have time to wash immediately, add warm water and turn on the pulse mode for a few seconds - the remains will be washed off instantly. If you prepared the minced meat and did not immediately wash the blender, add a little detergent and start the engine. The lid is easy to clean. Please note that you must not wash the appliances in the dishwasher!

I want to say right away that preparing the blender for work did not take much time. Since plastic was not cheap, we just rinsed the bowls and started testing the KT-1344 blender.

I decided to check the effectiveness of the new kitchen assistant on simple products that were in the refrigerator. He started with making mashed soup with mushrooms. Immediately made a mistake, and first put the ingredients in a blender. Fortunately, I came to my senses in time, so I did not manage to make a cocktail of onions and mushrooms. As for the work of the grinder, he coped with the task quickly and quite well. At the same time, he washed the cup from the remains in a few seconds, simply rinsing with water.Result: excellent!

Further, I decided to test the work of the blender, at the same time recall the taste of childhood with the help of a milkshake. Cooked at first speed so that the cocktail is saturated with oxygen. I used approximately 500 ml of milk, 2 bananas and some ice cream as ingredients.

Due to the presence of a compartment, it poured milk gradually to achieve an excellent airy texture. I was glad that the contents of the bowl were not sprayed. I won’t write such a simple test much, I’ll just say that it’s delicious, fast and very simple. Result: excellent.

Finally, I wanted to test the chopper for knife sharpness and power. To do this, put about 350 grams of ice in the bowl, and turned on the maximum speed. To complete the task, I remind you, it is necessary to hold the “P” mode. After 20-30 seconds, we got a wonderful “sea snow”.

Efficiency is good, but I didn’t like how the grinder lid closes, I don’t know if the mechanism could be made simpler. Therefore, the result: good.

Summing up the Kitfort KT-1344 review, I can assume that the domestic manufacturer is strengthening its position in the market, as evidenced by quite interesting marketing offers and the quality of the goods. Even by the look of the blender, you can understand that the device is of high build quality. I found no defects, although the chopper bowl seemed not very convenient. Pleasantly pleased with the availability of expensive components - the vast majority of parts are made of stainless steel. The bowls are also very high quality.

In addition, the blender and mixer have optimal power not only for mixing, but also for fast grinding of solid products. The test with ice is a vivid confirmation of this. Well, the price / quality ratio is quite adequate. In general, satisfied!

Benefits:

• capacious glass bowl for a blender;
• compartment for adding ingredients during operation;
• good build quality;
• stylish appearance;
• several speeds + pulse mode;
• simple operation and cleaning;
• stainless steel knives.

Disadvantages:

• chopper cover;
• noise level at maximum speed.

Conclusion: the Kitfort KT-1344 blender in itself is quite consistent with the cost and deserves attention. Given that the kit also has a pretty good chopper, in my opinion, the choice is obvious!
