Bottom Line

Bottomline inforgraphicsIf you are looking for a simple but powerful mixie, choose the Preethi Popular 750W MG 142. The 750W motor is powerful enough to give you efficient mixing and grinding to even the toughest ingredients. Preethi also offers this mixie with lifetime free service with no labor charges.

The downsides are poor overall build quality. The entire unit does not ‘feel’ premium or well put together. Loud noise is another issue that we did not like in the Preethi Popular 750W mixie. It also lacks features like atta-kneading, vegetable cutter, and juicer.

Overall, you can get better mixies with 750W motor than the Popular 750W MG 142. However, considering lifelong free service and over one crore people using this mixie, you cannot go wrong with the Preethi Popular 750W mixie.
