I bought the Prestige Iris Plus 750-watt mixer grinder at the end of last month, mostly because our old machine finally gave up after seven years of daily chutney grinding. The first thing I noticed was how much quieter it runs compared to the previous model — my wife can now make morning masala paste without waking the kids.
For the first two weeks everything felt smooth. The jars lock in place properly, the lid fits snug, and the stainless steel blades have held their edge through roughly twenty batches of coconut chutney and two rounds of idli batter. I also tried grinding dry spices — coriander, cumin, and a small amount of red chillies — and the 750-watt motor handled it without straining or overheating.
Around day twenty, I started paying closer attention to the things that usually annoy me about mixers. The jar base collects water after washing, which means I have to wipe it dry before storing. The rubber gasket under the blade assembly needs a careful rinse or it starts smelling after a few days. These are minor issues, but worth knowing if you plan to use the machine twice a day like we do.
What impressed me most was the consistency of the batter. The wet grinding jar produces a finer texture than our old mixer, and the batter fermented properly overnight — something that didn't always happen before. I also tested the juicer attachment once with sugarcane pieces, and it worked well enough, though I wouldn't call it a replacement for a dedicated juicer.
After a full month of regular use, I can say the machine delivers what it promises. It's not perfect — the cord could be longer and the jar lids could seal more firmly — but for the price, it's a solid upgrade. If you're replacing an old mixer grinder and your main concern is consistent grinding performance, this one is worth considering.
