The Ninja BL772 is a complete system that will perform with the greatest ease blending, frozen blending (yes, even ice cubes can be crunched), food processing, complete juicing and dough mixing. For each of these tasks the system comes with the appropriate containers. And for each containers there matching attachments provided with durable sharp stainless steel blades. All this possible because of the strong 1500 watts motor which is embedded in the base unit. To maintain the required speed it uses electronical smart speed technology with sensor.

Operating the system is done by the panel on the front of the unit. Besides the power switch there are three options for speed setting and they are task related. The slow and lowest setting for preparing dough, the middle for blending and mixing and the high speed for crushing like ice. Then there is an in between setting for single serve use. Depending on the ask you want to perform there is also a pulsing knob which is used when mincing or chopping for example.

For most tasks you will use the biggest container being the huge 72 ounce or 9 cup pitcher. The pitcher has an ergonomical handle and is positioned on one of the four corners of the four edged bowl. As all the used material this is BPA free. It can be placed in two ways onto the base unit. This is very handy since now it does not matter whether you are right or left handed. To prevent splashing and for safety reasons the pitcher has a matching lid that needs to be placed properly in order to make the appliance function. The lid has a pour spout cap through which extra ingredients can be inserted while operating.

For dough making the 8 cup bowl is used with matching lid. There is no intermediate ingredient insertion because of safety reasons. This is improved in comparison to the Ninja BL771.

Soleus Air dp2-70E-03 Review

December 27, 2019 by David Allen Leave a Comment

When having issues with an excess humidity level in your home the Soleus Air dp2-70e-03 offers you the perfect solution. Not only because of its big capacity but mainly because of convenience. It comes with an electrical pump which so you do not have to empty the watercontainer yourself. It is very user friendly and has several auto-features so you do not have to monitor it steadily. It is very silent in use and very economical as well. After all it is energy star rated. It is very versatile and has several control setting for speed , time and humidity to fit the requirements in your home. Read below the extensive review whether you should get one now.

Pros:

  • Very reliable and multifunctional, versatile and hands off operation.

Cons:

  • Very basic design, dos not look very pretty.

The problem with most dehumidifiers is that they look great but have not enough capacity to do what they are supposed to do. The great thing of the Soleus Air dp2-70e-03 is that it is not only capable to do proper dehumidification but do it under almost any circumstances. It can be operated at temperatures as low as 41 °F. Its design is not so pretty though.

It is portable and if you want to you can have it working almost hands off. It has a big capacity of 70 pints a day which is about 33 liters of water. The dehumidifier allows continuous dehumidifying or setting of the desired humidity level from 35-85%. You can set the fan speed at 3 levels with an airflow from 156 to 208 cfm (cubic ft per minute) as preferred. It is very quiet in use and will produce a maximum of 49 dB at the highest level.

Disposing of water can be done in several ways. First of all you can dispose of the water manually by emptying the water bucket. The Soleus Air dp2-70-03 or SG-DEH-70EP-2 will produce an audible beep and will indicate on the operations panel on the top that the bucket is full. This bucket has a capacity of about 8 liters. But when you have a bigger space to dehumidify you can install a gravity drain hose so the Soleus Air dp2-70e-03 will dispose of the water itself continuously. But what if you do not have a floor drain around in the room itself. Then comes in and very handy the included electrical pump. This pump is attached to the gravity drain hose and will dispose of the water by pumping it up to a drain on a higher level. This is a perfect solution for a basement for example. The pump can dispose of 300 pints or 140 liters a day. It can pump the water to a height of about 16 ft.

The Soleus Air dp2-70e-03 is quite spacious and heavy. Luckily it is wheeled and can easily be relocated if desired without lifting. Its weight is about 45 lbs. That is exclusive any water by the way. It may be big but it is very economical. It is energy star rated so ecofriendly as well. Another cool function is the built-in defrost control. When frost builds up on the evaporator coils the dehumidifier will stop operating until defrosted. To ensure hygiene as it uses a washable filter. On the operations panel an indicator light will show when it is time to wash the filter. Cleaning the unit and bucket can easily be done with a mild detergent.

If you care less about looks but want a great solution for humidity issues then the Soleus Air dp2-70e-03 is what you should want. It has huge capacity of 70 pint a day and runs very quietly. It has several indicators to make operation easy and user friendly. And for more convenience it comes with an electrical drainage pump so you can use it even in basements without floor drain. Operation under low temperature circumstances is no problem. Comes with defrost control. A real good investment and worth the money for an appliance that is energy star rated and economical.
