Crush ice and prepare delicious smoothies with the Braun PureMix jug blender. It has a 56-ounce capacity for making large batches of drinks, soups or salsa, and the four functions give you more control over the blending process. The Braun PureMix jug blender also has a Smooth Crush system for a consistent texture in all your blended drinks.

Good starter blender for the everyday kitchen!
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Jessie
I own multiple higher end blenders from Waring and Blendtec and I have to say Braun's Puremix Jug Blender gets the job done for everyday healthy smoothie or crushing ice. The noise level is acceptable and buttons are easy to figure out how to use without having to refer to the user guide. It is also easy to clean and put away as it is smaller and more compact than my Waring and Blendtec blenders.
I would recommend this blender to anyone looking for a starter blender from a reputable brand at a fair price. It actually has more features than my Waring professional blender that only has 3 settings (pulse, lo, hi) but not as confusing as my Blendtec that had too many features that most people won't really use.
Word of caution, the jug bottom is detachable. You can unscrew it from the bottom and remove the bottom that attaches the blades. Yes, the blades are sharp and don't touch it. I accidentally cut my finger and I should have been more careful - my fault. I never found the Waring and Blendtec blades to be sharp enough to cut my finger but maybe I knew those blenders were powerful and never bothered to check closer or dared to touch it.
Also, if the bottom of the blender jug is not secured tightly, you can still turn on the blender but the function buttons will not function and will not light up. Good safety feature.

Fun & easy-to-use wifi cam for the home!
on November 8, 2015
Posted by: Jessie
The SETUP was simple, quick and easy as long you know how to find and get the FREE app from the iOS App Store. By now, Logi Circle app should be easily found but on launch date I had to search for the full "Logi Circle" phrase to find the app. Once the app is installed, the setup instructions waere straight forward and I had to reset the Circle for the device to be found on the app. Overall, about the same level of ease as Nest Cam.
The ASSEMBLY was straight forward but it had more parts than the Nest Cam. I really liked the magnectic detachable base and it was fun for the kids to find all the surfaces that the Circle could stick to. The conduction charging loop fits between the Circle and the magnectic base so you can add it only when you need to charge it. Otherwise, the Circle runs on built-in battery and is portable around the house!
The APP USER INTERFACE was intuitive. By far the best part of the Logi Circle experience.
1) Slide from the right and the menu come up. The battery status and wifi connection strength is clearly display on top. You can flip the display 180 degrees if you have the Circle hanging upside down. Adding and removing addition Circles is easy. You can access your account and change settings and turn on/off all from this menu. These are just a few features out of many that really set apart from Nest Cam.
2) The APP load into LIVE mode at startup. You will see the LIVE icon on the middle right region. Scroll up and you'll go into replay mode by 3-4 minute segments. Each replay video is zoomable. Video quality is not the best but I prefer Logi Circle's smooth video replays that I can still make out everything and zoomable than non-working laggy videos from Nest Cam.
3) Below the LIVE mode button is the DAY BRIEF mode. Tap the screen and it'll generate a 30 second video summarizing everything that has gone on since MIDNIGHT. *I LOVE THIS FEATURE* because I can see my family especially our 15-month baby running around the kitchen and everyone following behind her footsteps to make sure she doesn't bump into things or do something unsafe. I DO THIS every few hours at the office and always get a good laugh.
4) In the lower left corner is the PRESS-TO-SPEAK button. You can communicate directly with the room through Logi Circle's built-in mic and speaker. The delay is minimal and usually noticeable at 1-second. I was amazed Logitech pulled it off. Nest Cam failed miserably at this with long delays and more lag.

The INFRARED NIGHT MODE is a neat feature and work as well as Nest Cam but I don't see so much of it as night time segment of the DAY BRIEF are usually shortened by Logitech from no activities in the room. The INFRARED sensor kick in as soon as the room is in total darkness and remain on until the room is fully lit.
The VIDEO PLAYBACK QUALITY is always smooth but lower resolution then Nest Cam. Maybe 720p or less but it didn't bother me from live streaming it on the iPhone 6 Plus. I was able to scroll back to earlier times in the day and watch each 3-4 min playbacks with a 1-2 second loading time. I was impressed by the quick preview of each recording like Netflix's fast-forwarding.
The DESIGN was well thought out. It looked unobstrusive and friendly. It was easy to forget that it was in the room. The magnetic base let it stick to the top of our kitchen window frame and the wide angle it had covered the whole kitchen and breakfast area. The USB power cord was also long enough to run along the window frame.
CONCLUSION: I highly recommend the Logi Circle to anyone that can relate to a similar situation. I am happy with Logi Circle's ability to record 24-7 and load up the LIVE view on my iPhone whenever I have LTE or WIFI. The DAILY BRIEF takes just a few seconds to generate and always an entertaining 30-second clip to watch. The Circle is portable and easy to setup and the built-in battery let it just sit around the house without having to connect it to any power source. I hope Logitech continue to release more updates to its APP. My two gripes with the Logi Circle iOS app is the replays are only labeled by TIME of DAY and no DATE so it is easy to get lost on which day I was viewing. I would also appreciate a web version to access the Circle streams from my laptop.
The Logi Circle has been put at my disposal by the Review Club for testing purposes without any obligation but to provide my opinion on this product.
