The industrial range of kitchen appliances impresses with its grandeur and ingenuity. Thanks to professional equipment, many interesting devices for domestic use have appeared. If you are a fan of drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and treating your household with hot chocolate, then the presented device is simply necessary for your kitchen.

Note! Hot chocolate makers belong to the Professional Kitchen Devices series, but there are very primitive models that are suitable for the home. The cost is from 12 thousand rubles.

The device itself is powered by the mains, basically, it needs a voltage of 220 V, less often 230 V. It must have a motor that sets in motion a special mechanism on which the blades for mixing the drink are located so that it does not burn, does not form lumps, is constantly in liquid state. There is a thermostat, an on / off button and a cup platform.

Depending on the principle of operation of the apparatus, they are divided into the following types: on a steam bath and dry preparation of a drink, when the chocolate mass is languishing under the influence of a metal plate and a heating element.

Features in the operation of devices - advantages and disadvantages

Chocolate units differ only in the process of preparation: under the influence of which the drink is obtained at the exit. In this regard, the question arises of how to choose the right model. According to buyers, the second option is considered a reliable design, although it requires constant attention in order to prevent overheating of the heated surface in time.

The steam bath in the unit consumes more electricity than the heating unit, but does not allow the product to burn due to the constant movement of hot steam.

The drink is served through a special tap that requires care. Since there is a huge possibility of clogging the hole, almost all designs have a special device inside the dispenser that solves this problem.

Note! Expensive models have good protection, are almost completely automated: they require switching on, refueling, setting the desired temperature.

Recommendations - what to look for when buying a chocolate machine

The most important thing is that the design is easy to disassemble and assemble - this will facilitate the process of washing it after a working day, and if necessary, it will allow you to repair it inexpensively by buying only the necessary part.

Note! Problematic places for cleaning - faucet. When buying, make sure that the diameter of the hole is wide enough.

In order not to make mistakes when choosing, pay attention to protection systems: they are always available in high-quality installations.

What are the body materials? It can be made of chrome, stainless steel, brass, plastic. Moreover, the main body of the apparatus is steel or plastic (less often), the flask is made of transparent plastic to make it easier to observe the preparation. Other elements are at the discretion of the manufacturer. Inexpensive goods - primitive design. Bright, with several options for color design designs - more expensive. Which company is better - the decision is up to the buyer.

On a note! It happens that there are two completely identical models, but from different manufacturers. For example, a unit of Russian and foreign production. Such a situation puts a person at a standstill. So, according to experimental data, it was found that the technical characteristics, the principle of operation, the possibilities are completely the same, but the cost may differ by 2 times in favor of foreign models. People prefer the world name. Therefore, which is better to buy a device - everyone decides for himself.

Having decided to buy, you need to have a clear plan in mind:

• where is the best place to buy
• what type of construction;
• for what purposes the equipment will be used;
• what capabilities it should have (suitable ingredients for mixing);
• how many servings does it produce per filling;
• energy consumption, maintainability (cost accounting);
• whose production (Russia, foreign countries);
• what is the price.

However, the way out of this situation are video reviews, customer reviews, warranty card for the product.
