Electrolux Ankarsrum Assistent (original) (raw)

The original that this article was based upon can be seen at sv:Electrolux Assistent in the Swedish Wikipedia. Assistent is a household kitchen appliance, introduced by Electrolux in 1940. The distinctive feature of this mixer is that it spins the bowl and its contents, not the stirring paddle. As a result, there is more torque and less noise. The bowl is driven by an electric motor and worm gear from beneath. The power of the motor has increased over time from 250 W through 400 W, 450 W, 650 W, 800 W and now 1500 W. Original machines had a simple single speed switch; modern machines have both variable speed and a timer.
