Preethi Steele 3-Jar Mixer Grinder, 550-Watt, Silver

I was searching for a mixer grinder that would be suitable for preparing Indian recipes. I use it to make dosa and idli batter. It also grinds spices and ginger garlic paste efficiently. I’m completely satisfied with the performance. I bought it along with a 3-year warranty in case of any repairs. It has a blender-quality motor that provides quick results.

Best of the best

It's a very good mixer except for the noise. I do understand that the mixers from India are very powerful and have noise but just felt this had more than the motor it has. Ignoring that, this is fantastic to look at, good build quality, except for the mid-sized jar, the steel quality is not the same in all which I was assuming so. Been using for the last 4 months and does its job smoothly, with no issues thus far.

All of a sudden Product is not working

Powerful, works good. Only problem is lid come off sometime and you need to hold it tight while operating it.

Noisy - really noisy.Upset with the delivery mechanism. It was raining and the person left it at the door step in pouring rain and we were in the house. Could have rung the door bell or at the minimum covered in a plain plastic paper to repel the water. It was soaked wet (and jeesh the cardboard is such pooooor quality - it smells when soaked releasing the cow dung odor ). Notched down the ratingWith respect to the machine. It is too early to say other than the noise factor.And the extra pieces of hardware sent1. Washers - understandable (who is assembling this again ?)2 Gaskets - understandable3. The lids have a top hole (to breathe?) and it splatters - so someone has to hold it (annoying to say when grinding)4. Microswitch - Is that an omen that we may have to unassemble and install a new Microswitch. It is nice to have the exact part but expecting the client to fix it themselves (In India I can take it to local shop). How many are handy. But it also poses the question - do they expect this to blow up?Unpacking - the base had some scuffs. At the same time, I do understand they test every unit before shipping or packing (when I buy in Indian stores) and it is just the same. Not fresh from the manufacturing floorWill make a calendar schedule to update this review in 3 months

We've owned this for a month now and everything works very well. We don't use the middle sized cup because it's a little redundant for our purposes.My wife is from India, so we make Idli/dosa batter and it turns out phenomenal every time.We also make chutney with the little cup, which is perfect for this.We are perplexed at the negative reviews. We received a new one. Ghandi is the company we bought it from. It arrived in a timely fashion (no Prime delivery in two days), within two weeks I think. Well packed, too. The product box was put in a slightly bigger box.Nothing was dented, everything was included as per advertisements.We did watch the video for the less expensive one, which showed how to use the machine (regardless of level). We decided on the Steele, the most expensive one, because the base is stainless steel and so a bit more durable.The one small niggling point is the power cable into the unit itself, where it enters, the "seal" is not great. Apart from that, everything else is just top drawer.I will update this over the course of the coming year.

I have previously owned several top names in mixer grinder/ processor but none were as good as this one. Powerful, Easy to operate and easy to clean. I have only owned it for about a month but I guess it will last long because it’s all stainless steel.
