Preethi Eco Twin

Jars are of perfect size and easy to clean. Each jar works excellent according to their capabilities. It will be a good addition to your kitchen if you are looking for a mixer. Small jar can be used for grinding spices, making puree in small quantities etc. Large jar can be used for idli, dosa batters, curry prep etc. I usually run clean water after usage and wash jars same day or next day max and have not experienced any rust. Occasionally handle screws are loosened but they can be easily fixed.

...and believe me, I have a lot of appliances! I got this one as my mother was visiting and required a food processor that would perform as well as the Indian mixers she is used to back in Mumbai. She tried using my Ninja, Braun food processor and Magic Bullet and was never really satisfied. So we got this one! It is truly a remarkable little mixer. Doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter, has good suction cups at the bottom of the motor which fix it to the counter while you are using the mixer, grinds everything to the consistency we need and is easy to clean up. I don't put it in the dish washer as I don't want to take a chance with the rubber tubing around the lid. Also we pulse the food in the mixer before starting to grind it (just as the instructions say). So far both my mom and I love this one more than any other appliance in our home. We have made dosa batter, dosa podi, masala powders, chutneys and many many other recipes in this grinder. It is used daily in our home!I also purchased the square trade protection plan for this as I wanted to err on the side of caution after reading some of the bad reviews! But since I was purchasing it from Amazon, I wasn't as worried about the first 30 days of use. We really put the grinder to the test during those 30 days and it has always come out on top! Very happy with this purchase and I wish I had bought it before spending money on all those other appliances!!

I just got this machine a few days back and I have used both the jars. It works fantastic. My idlis turned great and the chutney was good too. I am not sure about the complains from others but the four times I have used it seems fine to me. I got the package on time and the equipment is pretty nice. Looks sturdy so far.Update: I have been using the machine for some time now and it still works great. I noticed two issues though.1. It is clumsy to clean. I have stuff that sticks to the inside of the gasket and I feel like i will damage it everytime i get it out to clean up.2. The lid if not closed properly or if the machine is slightly overloaded, it splashes. I have had to clean my walls two three times while trying to do things in hurry.An update to include: At bottom of the machine there is a small red GFI like knob. Very cool. If you work the machine too hard, it stops working!Update:The white part in the bottom smoked and blew off. I was worried that my machine now is useless. Checked a little and lo, the replacement part was easy to order and the powerhorse is back to work. The lid is now not so tight and i need to hold it while blending to prevent stuff leaking but the machine works fine. I have a heavy use of the machine and I have no hesitation in recommending this one!

The Preethi Eco Twin Jar Mixer Grinder is a powerful and efficient kitchen appliance with a 550-watt motor, perfect for grinding, blending, and mixing. It comes with two durable stainless steel jars and is easy to use and clean. Compact and well-built, it offers excellent performance at an affordable price. A great value for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile mixer grinder

My husband and I love to cook. For valentine's day many moons ago, he bought for me a sumeet multi-grind after we used one during a Thai cooking class. It was phenomenal and held a place of pride on our minute New York City countertop. It grinded, it made salad dressing perfectly, it made beautiful pastes, and it was EASY. I loved it.Fast forward about 10 years and the motor on that machine was still going strong, but unfortunately, the connecting components between the jar and the base just gave way one by one. Sumeet no longer makes that machine, so we had to throw in the towel and search for a replacement. We started with the Asia kitchen machine, but it was quickly clear that the newer models from Sumeet were nowhere near the quality of our beloved unit.So, we tried Preethi, and that's when the burns, splatters, explosions, tears and screams began. It's horribly loud, it does a terrible job grinding both large and small (it doesn't have the ingenious wand of the multi-grind that pushes the food back onto the blade so you have to continually open the machine and effectively give it one pulse over and over and over again) and the worst part: it explodes ALL THE TIME. The jars are not sufficiently sealed to withstand the pressure of the motor, so even on low speed, with a firm hand and a towel covering the lid, it's a horror movie almost every time.The last time I used it, I had put some hot soup in the blender but only about a cup or so in the larger jar. This never would have been a problem in the Sumeet. The construction absolutely prevented the jar top from lifting under pressure. This time (which will be the last time I use this wretched waste of space), I had soup everywhere. 2nd degree burns on my arms and face. Splattering all around the kitchen. I'm still finding lentils in places where lentils should never be.I hate the Preethi Eco Twin. It is a terrible product simply because of the lid construction on the jars cannot in any way withstand the force of the unit. I can't believe anyone who tested this machine didn't have similar problems, and that they STILL allowed this hazardous item to be sold en masse is criminal. Shame on you, Preethi.I wish I could offer an alternative. Make sure that you look for a grinder that has a locking lid to prevent explosions. I will make sure to do so the next time.

I’m writing this review after a month of use, especially for Indian cooking.Warning: It’s a long review.I researched a lot before buying a mixer grinder and I concluded that Vitamix would be a good fit but I decided to not buy it just because it didn’t seem reasonable to splurge that much on a mixer.So I decided to go ahead with the next reasonable choice (based on thousands of reviews and videos) : Ninja. I was pretty excited for it and had soaked some urad dal in anticipation too. Believe me when I say that it did not go well.I ended up returning it after using it once.Reasons to return it: Plastic body (felt too weak and scratch prone)Height of the pot: it was too high and kept touching the cabinets above my platform while taking it out of the base.Poor performance: after spending over an hour grinding one cup of soaked dal, the result was disappointing.I finally went ahead and bought my third option of the lot: Preethi Eco twin jar. In my opinion the two jar option is quite self-sufficient and I didn’t have enough space to keep a third one :p.Reasons to buy Preethi eco twin jar mixer and grinder:Metal body: feels sturdy and is low maintenance compared to a plastic bodySharp blades: I have tried grinding almost everything in this (coconut, dals, frozen berries etc) and the end results were always ‘fine’.The extra lids provided are pretty useful when you want to convert the big jar into a medium. Instead of the original dome shaped lid, the spare lid goes into the body of the jar transforming it into a medium sized one.I had read a few reviews that it makes a lot of noise but which mixer doesn’t (I found the other brands louder than this one).Overall performance has been beyond my expectations.The only extra step I would suggest to prolong its life is to take the blade off after every use while cleaning it. The overall body is smooth and easy to clean without too many crevices or ridges.Would definitely recommend it!

I am writing review in feb 2026 and i had bought mixer grinder in sep,2023.Almost 2.5 years. It is very good still works really good. Just sound is little bit more while grinding, but that's ok. I really loved the mixer.

**New Review After three years of ownership:I had a terrible first impression of this machine and my first one died very quickly. It did the job so well that I ended up buying a second one and three years later the machine is doing very well and I am still very pleased. I used it several times a week and I have found endless uses for it. It is highly imperfect but it is still the best I have used and I have bought a dozen different processors/juicers/grinders and blenders.First the bad so that you are warned:-It is very loud. So I used to warn my toddler and I still warn everyone when I start that it is going to be loud. If not you can really scare the little ones and startle the older ones.-The parts that hook the top to the bottom "coupler" are very fragile. You have to make sure fit the top to the bottom correctly, and if you hear the motor struggling you should stop. After my first machine died this way, I had to buy twice in three years the replacement parts to replace the dead parts. I think also that the reason they make it cheap plastic is that they break rather than the motor dying. So it is like a cheap protection for the motor. You can find a couple of videos on Youtube that show you how to change them.-You cannot overfill the jars, or use something very liquid in the small jar. If you do the water sloshes out of the jar even if you try and press on it. The jar does nor seal fully. So do not use something very liquid in the small jar and do not fill it over 2/3 of the jar and better yet keep it at less than 1/2 full.-The rubber that seals the lid is a pain to take out. And you will have to take it out as the food gets under it. Use a knife with a sharp tip to do so.-The handle screws catch the food and get loose. So I use a fine knife blade to clear the food out and then tighten back. It is very awkward to do and will be to be done periodically to keep the handle from rattling and the food from coming out of the screw hole.-The small jar is small and cannot be filled as I said. So I break a big batch into several loads.-The big jar is relatively useless. Although recently I figured a use for it: Brazilian cheese bread dough. The dough is liquid enough that it works and actually works well.So why would anyone in their sane minds keep the machines? Well here are the good stuff:IT GRINDS ANYTHING and VERY WELL and better than machines priced 6 times more - even after buying two replacement couplers:I have made flour (from wheat, millet, buckwheat, ..) and when I sift it there is hardly any big bits and it become very fine.I have made dough/patties from soaked grains-the Indian way (soaked buckwheat, lentils, beans, rice..). You name it. Just soak your favorite grain. Here is one recipe: Strain liquid and grind into a fine or coarse paste/however you like it. Add enough liquid to give it the consistency you like and then leave in a warm place. Your dough will rise and you have a nice tortilla or bread dough.I have made fresh nut butter: peanuts, walnuts, sesame, sunflower seed). You might need to add a drop of oil at the beginning to help it.I made all kind of raw goodies (coconut chocolate balls - ground my own cocoa beans, dates balls, ..). Except for the really dry fruit like dates that will need to be soaked, you will get an amazing paste. It will even grind the very dates but it will sound like explosions rippling through the house and you will need to put all your weight on the lid to keep it from flying off.The hubby used it to make burgers and as long as he kept the quantity small, it ground meat cubes, onions and herbs into patties.It grind 3/4 ice with fruit into a smoothie- but I rarely use it that way.I remembered to update this review since I just bought extra attachments to it (a bigger small jar, a chutney jar and a juice extractor). Once I use them I will try and update with that information.** Old reviewI had this mixer for 6 months and have loved it. It does what few others can do: efficiently grind spices, nuts - with a little liquid added; soaked grains. The blade sits very low so really gets at very little things. I even made tahini using sesame seeds!Beautiful! Yes?Well it is beautiful until you realize that the "grinder mixer motor coupler" or basically the part that helps the mixer latch to the motor is not just made of plastic but the worse quality. Probably the company did not spend more than 10 cents on the part! This part wears out with use and will likely wear out faster if you make a mistake and overload the machine.Of course you can replace it. In fact when I went to Ghandi Appliances - which sells part- the first image that popped was the "PREETHI MIXER GRINDER MOTOR COUPLER " at $8.99 and free shipping. So clearly it is a common problem. Several reviewers also complained directly or indirectly about the issue (basically if the motor is running and the blade is not turning - you likely have the same problem).Another flaw in design is the handles. They are attached with SCREWS! Well these often loosen up due to the shaking and then they are really hard to tighten.And of course if you are reading the reviews you know it is very loud but since all appliances are imperfect it was a flaw I could live with. I am just too busy however to deal with an appliance that is going to break down periodically.Sadly, considering a previous blender used to electrocute me, and another used to constantly leak because the base was impossible to tighten.. it is still better than most out there if you are willing to deal with replacing that 9 dollar part periodically. If you use the machine relatively little you may be fine.

I bought this for my Mom after watching a video review on Amazon USA that clearly demos its noise level. So, no surprises when she used it - wow, it's loud! :-) Sounds just like a heavy-duty drill or table saw in action. Other than this, it works exactly as promised to easily create any soaked lentil/ rice batters, chutneys, spice powders, milkshakes and pretty much anything that needs a fine paste/ grind. I found the 2 flexi lids that instantly convert both jars into smaller sizes to be a far more practical feature than buying the model with 3 diff. jars (Preethi Eco Plus) as it takes less space to store. Approx. dimensions: 7" W x 11" L x 14" H with chutney jar & lid and 18" H with 1.5L jar & lid. Has a total of 4 blades - 3 steel & 1 plastic. One steel blade's fixed in the chutney jar and can't be removed. The other 2 steel ones are for dry-wet grind and mince-grate plus a plastic whip-blend one; all interchangeable for the 1.5L jar. Even though it's lightweight, those handy suction feet do keep it securely in place. My Mom has used it almost daily for the past 45 days with no complaints. Quality of construction is decent and nothing looks like it will fall apart too easily. Also, the enclosed DVD will help any newbie learn how to use the classic Indian "mixie"!FYI - This product's video on Preethi's YouTube channel is very helpful plus you can check videos for their other models to compare....made it easy to decide.

Good and still working.

I have used Preethi Mixer Grinder in the past and has met all my expectations. I was pretty happy as it did a great job. With my Preethi Eco twin Jar Mixer Grinder (latest purchase) i like it as it has smaller base and lighter as compared to my older modelBUT it is too noisy. I live in a condo and little hesitant to use in the night as i may wake up my neighbours.

As someone mentioned here, it is pretty crude and noisy when compared to North American products. Much of it can be attributed to the design of the gear that turns the blade. Instead of locking on to the matching groves of the gear on the jar, this one merely pushes it. This causes a rattling/stuttering sound when you start and stop the mixer-grinder. The design is very primitive in my opinion. But, that said it does the job perfectly. The blades are perfectly designed for grinding and milling grain. Works superbly for Idly/Dosa batter and Chutneys; in-short best thing for Indian cooking.

Writing this review after buying and using it for 3 years. This mixer has been my companion across 6 house switches. I have made numerous chutneys, dosa batters, spice powders etc. and I've used so many hard raw materials for grinding including rice, coconut, cinamon sticks, etc. The grinding power has not deteriorated at all since the past 3 years and still works like brand new. Amazing product and a must have product for every south Asian household!
