I wake the neighbors up every morning with the screeching mechanical drone of my blender tearing fruit into a smoothie. Or I would, if I ever hauled my lazy ass out of bed before the neighbors had all left for work. The horrible metallic buzz still disturbs me, though, and usually means I have to splash a slug of scotch into the smoothie just to take the edge off my hangover.
So you can imagine my excitement over the Electrolux Powermix Silent, a blender which runs quiet enough that you can hold a conversation while you use it. Electrolux even promises that it won?t wake up a sleeping child, as if anyone cares.
The blender looks like any other fashion blender, with a 1.5 liter jug and a body that comes in ?two trendy colors: antique steel and deep aubergine.? The ?silent? mode is simply a matter of good engineering, with better air-flow and vibration damping in the 600-watt motor.
It?s not actually silent, though. The blender puts out 80dB, which is ten times less than the 90dB my blender screams through my apartment, but still significant. Looking for comparisons on the web, 80dB comes in somewhere between an average toilet flushing and an electric shaver. Not bad.
Electrolux is also claiming that the jug?s conical shape is also innovative, causing a vortex that pulls food down onto the blades. As an experienced blender user, I can say that pretty much every blender does this once it gets going.
The Powermix Silent is available now in some European markets for ?140 ($200).
