The German concern in the production of household goods, in particular food processors of different capacities and configurations, has been a confident leader for many years. High-quality and reliable equipment helps housewives: it significantly reduces tedious preparation for preparing various dishes, quickly grinding various food products, making original slices for salads and soups, if necessary.
At the same time, the variety of prepared dishes becomes more refined, even original, because the consistency of the products is the same, and the taste and vitamins are not lost during mechanical processing, as many skeptics think. Users still doubting such a beneficial assistant are strongly advised to read this article.

Features
Bosch’s modern, multifunctional apparatus is capable of replacing a whole team of assistant cooks for chopping vegetables, greens, cutting meat into portioned pieces, not to mention the preparation of minced meat of at least two types of consistency - coarse or fine grinding. The harvester has two main components: an electric motor of various power, a working bowl or two working simultaneously. They are made of durable plastic, tempered glass or stainless steel.
Depending on the configuration, and its range varies from several units to 10 or more varieties, combines perform many types of routine work in the kitchen: kneading dough of different densities, processing meat of animals, poultry or fish, peeling vegetables, shredding, whipping and squeezing juice, preparation of cocktails, vitamin smoothies.
The German concern is a leader not only in the field of high quality products for the kitchen, but also ahead of its competitors in the variety of product functionality. Many options of German combines from other manufacturers are highlighted in separate household appliances, for example, a multifunctional meat grinder or a juicer.
Advantages and disadvantages
Positive and negative qualities are collected on the basis of feedback from real consumers, and not invented by product developers in order to promote their products on the world market. The following can be attributed to the positive side of BOSCH combines:
- high efficiency, speed;
- modern design and smooth lines;
- variety of nozzles;
- multifunctionality;
- compactness of individual units;
- well-established sale of spare parts on the territory of the Russian Federation;
- simplicity of management; safety of operation;
- the presence of a Russified instruction.
Minuses:
- multifunctional harvesters are quite large;
- after one shredding or grinding on a grater, you must wash the entire complex;
- some components, for example, a meat grinder and a juicer, work less efficiently;
- Separate nozzles may never be needed.
The last point depends only on the buyer: why buy an aggregate with many functions if you will not use them in everyday life.
What are the nuances you need to pay attention to
All kitchen appliances and combines are very different in cost and staffing, so before you buy a product, analyze what exactly you need in the kitchen, because some appliances are already in an individual design. After all, the final price of the device depends on all its functional capabilities: the simplest model of the combine with several main nozzles can be purchased from 2 thousand rubles.
A little more expensive is a device with an additional option - slicing french fries or Korean carrots on a special grater, as well as with an additional chopping bowl. When a function with a meat grinder and a blender is attached, the cost of the combine increases sharply to 5-8 thousand rubles.
There are also such models - a construction unit, the base of which consists of a large metal bowl, and a whisk is lowered into it to prepare various liquid dishes. In addition, you can purchase any nozzles, of which there are up to 40 varieties on sale - these are independent devices operating from the same base with a drive.
Rated power should be at least 600-700 watts, in addition, pay attention to speed - the best options have 3-4 options, plus the mandatory Pulse mode. Examine the working containers - plastic bowls are not suitable for crushing ice, nuts and making hot mashed soups.
Pay attention to graters, cases can be made of plastic, the best option is completely stainless steel, and the quality of sharpening knives and discs can be found only when you first start the product in your home environment. Be careful and never try the sharpness of the cutting edges: the developers pay special attention to them, they are surprisingly sharp and tend to self-sharpen during operation.
