Recently I got Preethi zodiac mixer grinder for product review. As Preethi Kitchen appliances is one of my favorite brands, I agreed to do it. They make the best mixer grinder in India.
In this post, I have shared my opinion after using it for 10 days. I have also shared the recipe of an easy vegetable paratha made using Preethi Zodiac chopper and atta kneader.
Preethi Zodiac offers a wide range of user friendly options like grinding, atta kneading, juicing, grating, slicing, chopping and citrus juice press. Its more than a mixer grinder for sure but less than a proper food processor. It has a powerful 750w motor which is ideal for grinding dosa batter as well. I have tried all these options and shared my opinion about the same. Read on..

Preethi Zodiac looks awesome and attracts us by its first look especially the shiny black colored body and the steel rim combination makes it a real winner. Its Package is so neat. Every part was well wrapped and kept inside a cardboard so that it would be safe while shipping.
Its instruction manual is very small but its crisp with all the details. So I din't have any difficulties in assembling the jars and bottom. Before using the jars, I washed them individually using soapy water to remove the plastic smell.
PROS & CONS
PROS
- Zodiac has a wide bottom with rubber holders. So it is stable while running and vibrates less.
- It has a powerful 750w motor. So grinding job gets done quickly.
- It has two blue light indicators.One at the speed knob and other at the bottom of the machine. The bottom light turns red to indicate overload conditions.
- Master chef jar and its accessories are too good. But the slicing blade is sharp. Please be careful while handling them.
- I loved the Atta kneader more than other attachments.
- Juicer, extractor is also equally good. Spout in the juicer is a good idea.
- Grater and slicer is doing its job perfectly.
- Small Chutney Jar is quite helpful to grind very small quantity. Its handle is very strong and sturdy. Its lids are also interchangeable.
- Medium and Big jars are useful for grinding Vada batter and Idli,dosa batter. Everything comes out great.
- Too noisy. This is the first thing that irritated & scared me. Even though its noise level is mentioned as permissible in the specifications in AMAZON, I felt its high when compared with the other Preethi mixers I had used.
- Other than grinding jars, all the accessories and atta kneading jars are plastic. So I am not sure about its life. It may break if heavily loaded or fallen down. But Preethi service center is available all over India.So getting the spare parts may not be difficult.
- There is no coconut grater. Zodiac would become a complete food processor if its available. But you can extract coconut milk using the extractor.
- Citrus juicer is Okay I feel.
- Slicer has one size. It is not adjustable. So you cannot make very thin slices of vegetables for making chips. Similarly grater has one size.
- Though the cleaning is easier, there are too many small parts. This mixer parts are not dish washer friendly.
You can buy this product online in PREETHI Website Or in AMAZON, FLIPKART at a lesser price.
