The Bork meat grinder is one of the product units from BORK, which claims to be an international company providing premium equipment. Veiled phrases about the technology of the Germans, the Japanese, and no specifics. The easiest way to purchase this technique is in the official online boutique.
What can Bork manufacturers supply your home with?
All products are presented in the same style - strict, clear lines, colors - white, gray, black.
Of the goods for the kitchen, the Bork meat grinder is far from the only one. Here, in the section, there is everything that a modern housewife needs - blenders, crock
-pots, electric kettles, microwave ovens, toasters, waffle irons, coffee makers, grills, etc.
Issue price
And the cost of such devices is really "premium". The meat grinder "Bork", the price of which on the official website is listed for almost 30 thousand rubles for one model and another for almost 20 thousand, is clearly not a device for an average Russian with a salary of eight thousand rubles.
The same goes for other appliances. The cheapest option from vacuum cleaners, for example, costs 15 thousand rubles, and the only mixer available to choose is 45 thousand rubles.
How does the manufacturer justify such a price
First of all, it is a design. Yes, it’s hard not to agree, the devices look really expensive and elegant. But is that enough? Let's get acquainted with the materials that are indicated, for example, in the section of technical specifications that reveal the essence of such a device as the Mork meat grinder Bork M780.
The material for the case is declared stainless steel, for the loading tray - a certain alloy of aluminum. The alloy of what with what is unclear. Next is the material of the knife, and in the column where the material should be indicated, the following appears: "SUS 420 J2". Apparently, it is assumed that the general consumer knows all the markings of all materials.
After a bit of browsing the Internet, we still find that it is a stainless steel brand with Japanese marking. Well, this should inspire confidence. Moreover, the analogues of such steel in the CIS countries - 30X13 and 40X13 - are just designed to work, including with a cutting element, in non-aggressive environments at temperatures not exceeding 450 ° C.
What else will delight a miracle device
With the materials clear. I am glad that it’s not plastic, and, in principle, it can justify half the cost together with a stylish design. And where else to determine the second half of the price?
Software and hardware. Firstly, a color display is mounted in the device, with the help of which, apparently, it is possible to select certain modes previously programmed by the manufacturer. There are three of them, and they differ in the juiciness of products that the buyer may want to grind: 1st - for berries, fish and poultry; 2nd - for pork or turkey; 3rd - for beef, lamb or for tough game.
Also, the meat grinder in automatic mode will include a reverse stroke if there are difficulties with scrolling the meat, and the manufacturer also advertises it as one that does not interfere with its domestic noise. We look at the technical specifications, where
the noise level is less than 65 dB. If this is true, then a conversation with slightly elevated tones corresponds to this level, or it does not reach 15 dB to the sound of heavy traffic. That is, to call it one that "will not interfere" (like the noise of a forest, for example, with its indication of
the noise level from 10 to 24 dB) is a little wrong. More precisely, "this meat grinder rattles less than other early models."
How to choose a meat grinder so as not to waste money? Perhaps “Bork” creates just such machines that can last much longer and better than other similar models, but the price range is one level lower. Well, you should get acquainted with the opinions of other users who have already managed to purchase such a meat grinder, and shared their impressions on the network.
User Reviews of BORK
The network has enough monotonous information about the Bork meat grinder, there are also reviews about them, but some are contradictory. Some of them are rampant laudatory, and some of them even very similar to the information on the manufacturer’s website, tell how huge quantities of meat are processed quietly, quickly and efficiently in 40 seconds. Others advise how to choose a meat grinder, so as not to get into the same situation as they are with the Bork machine.
For example, the opinion of the “Bork” M500 is a model that is no longer available for sale: the complaints mostly concerned that no reverse helps get rid of winding veins, and this, by the way, happens all the time. Also of interest is the surprise of some buyers with a throat wide for pushing food to the auger. Yes, its diameter is about three centimeters, so to grind meat, you should first carefully cut it into small pieces.
Why the answer is no rather than yes
Whether or not to advise Bork products is unclear. On the models of another type of machines (for the kitchen and for the home) that are currently on sale, there are enough unflattering reviews that are unlikely to add buyers. For example, the M501 Bork meat grinder was negatively commented on because food stalls were breaking, knives were dull, etc. And there is a lot of this kind of information about the various products of this company, against its background all the laudatory reviews lose their meaning and they are not visible against the background of dissatisfied and, perhaps, more natural reviews. Yes, and parts for the Bork meat grinder will have to be searched for a lot if the warranty expires and some part also comes out after it.
Add to all the confusion with the firm. If there is a lot of information about Samsung or Phillips in the public domain, then everything is foggy and covered in mystery.
