The First FA-5259-2 food processor is made in a very unusual case for such devices, the design of which will decorate the interior of any kitchen. The model is presented in two colours: red and metallic.

The device will please large families who cannot imagine their breakfast without fragrant pastries, since the 5-liter bowl can hold up to 2.5 kg of ready-made dough at a time. Due to the fact that the bowl is metal (stainless steel), it will last a long time even under heavy loads. The power of the product is 800 W, which is quite enough for pancake dough, mayonnaise and protein cream, but if your home prefers hard dough dishes, such as dumplings and dumplings, you should still pay attention to more powerful models.

Six speeds allow you to grind products in various modes to obtain the desired consistency, and the presence of an impulse increases the efficiency of working with solid products without overloading the motor.

Despite the fact that the combine itself is compact and does not take up much space in the kitchen, a real “beast” is hidden behind the walls of the stylish metal case — a 1250 W motor.
