Specifications
Wollmer L360 complete set
L360 is a functional device consisting of:
- bases on rubberized legs;
- a tritan glass with ribs and a removable lid;
- pusher.
All parts are durable, so even daily use will not lead to a deterioration in appearance. The blender is compact (232x220x545mm), so it doesn't take up much space on the table or in the closet. However, at the same time, it is quite roomy - the volume of the bowl is 2 liters, which is enough for cooking even for a company of 4-5 people.
It is not difficult to assemble and disassemble the device; no additional knowledge or effort is required for this. To facilitate the process and save your time, manufacturers attach instructions in several languages with detailed descriptions and diagrams to the kit.
A warranty card is included with Wollmer. With it, if necessary, you can contact your nearest authorized Wollmer service center.
Appearance
The Wollmer L360 blender has a minimalist design: a transparent tritan bowl is mounted on a black motor unit with a silver insert and an LCD display, rotary switch and buttons. The bowl is closed with a tight rubberized lid, in the middle of which there is a hole for adding products during the blender operation. In order to close this hole, there is a special plug.
All elements of the blender are made of quality materials that are pleasant to the touch. The tritan blender bowl is made using the Four Reefs technology: special ribs become additional points of influence on the products inside and contribute to better mixing. Inside the bowl there are sharp knives of a special shape with 6 blades, thanks to which you can easily grind even hard foods such as nuts or ice in the blender.
After switching on, the LCD display lights up and 6 available modes appear on it: fruits, vegetables, ice, smoothies, nuts and soy milk. You can switch between them using the rotary switch located around the display. A timer is displayed in the center of the screen - it shows how long it will take to mix when you select one or another mode.
After use, the bowl is removed from the blender, and the cord is retracted into a special groove under the motor unit. Thus, the device can be conveniently stored even in a small kitchen.
Control
Dealing with the controls is quite simple even for a beginner. For a detailed study of the modes, refer to the instructions, however, the specifics of operation and control features are clear immediately.
The front panel contains the following buttons:
- on / off;
- pulse mode and self-cleaning mode;
- manual speed control;
- setting the timer.
All buttons are easy to press, a single touch is enough to start the process.So, to start working with the blender, you need to press the power button first - after that you will see that the LCD display lights up. With the rotary switch, you can select one of 6 modes. If you think the speed or time on the mode you selected is not enough for your products, you can manually adjust these settings. After that, you need to press the power button again - and wait until the dish is ready! At the end of work, you can fill the blender bowl with water and press the button with the self-cleaning mode on the panel. This makes it much easier to clean the blender before storing it.
Exploitation
The first task of the user is to prepare the blender. Check for any mechanical damage. If any are found, you should not use the blender: contact the service center (if the warranty is valid, do not forget the coupon).
Place the work blender on a flat, level surface. If you find that the table or other surface is unstable, wobbles, or has hollows, move the blender.
Any electrical device needs fresh air to work properly. Leave a small space, at least 10-15 cm, at the sides, front and back of the device. It is also recommended to put food not side by side, but at a specified distance. It is important that there are no heat sources nearby: stove, open fire, electric kettle.
If everything is in order, you can get to work. Assemble the appliance: place the bowl on the motor unit and make sure it fits securely into the grooves. Please note that the device is equipped with protection against switching on if the bowl is missing or incorrectly installed. Only after the bowl is fixed will the blender work.
Plug in the plug before starting. Do not try to start the device or install programs before plugging in. Make sure that there are no kinks or tangles on the cord - this is required by safety precautions.
Cooking is quick and easy. Pre-wash and cut (if necessary) the products that you need for the dish.
Choose the mode that best suits your idea:
- fruits;
- vegetables;
- ice;
- nuts;
- soy milk;
- smoothies.
The volume of the bowl is 2 liters and should not be exceeded. If there is a need to prepare a dish with a volume of more than 2 liters, divide it into two portions.
The Wollmer L360 model has the ability to add food during operation without removing the bowl lid. To do this, remove the translucent blanking plug and add the missing products to this hole.
When setting speed and time, start with the lowest values. In the future, if necessary, you can increase the speed and add minutes without stopping the machine.
Like any other technique, the Wollmer L360 requires systematic maintenance. The device has a self-cleaning function, but after each use, it is recommended to clean the blender additionally from small food particles.
Attention! All manipulations are carried out only after disconnecting the device from the network! To avoid accidents, do not try to remove any splashes, food, etc. while the device is plugged in or in operation!
Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove dirt. Wipe the surface of the blender gently with a damp then dry cloth. The removable bowl can be washed under running water.
It is strictly forbidden to use abrasive detergents and metal scouring pads for processing. First, they damage the surface and leave unsightly scratches that cannot be removed. Secondly, particles of chemicals can remain in more often and then get into food.
Wollmer L360 pros and cons
The power of the Wollmer L360 blender reaches 2000 W. The special Four Reefs Technology also contributes to better mixing of products: additional points of influence on the processed products are formed due to stiffening ribs inside the bowl. This way the food is shredded faster and better.
The two-liter bowl is made of tritan.This environmentally friendly material is food-neutral and does not affect the taste, color and aroma of food. An additional plus of tritan is its high strength. It does not scratch, dissolve, does not oxidize, maintains its integrity - which means that even the smallest particles of it will not get into the dish.
The blender comes with a pusher. It can be used to prepare thick masses, including ice cream.
The speed control in the L360 is smooth. This adds variability and allows you to choose the optimal mode for your recipe. The high speed of the knives (40 thousand rpm) ensures equally efficient work with products of different degrees of hardness: it mixes both soft vegetables and fruits, and hard nuts or ice equally well.
After work, the cord can be neatly tucked into a niche under the motor unit. This solution saves space, simplifies maintenance, and avoids cord abrasion, kinks in the plug area and other problems. The device weighs a little, does not look bulky - ideal for home use.
The blender can be easily assembled and disassembled, and only water and ordinary detergent are required for maintenance. After cooking, you can pour water into the blender and turn on the self-cleaning function - then you don't even have to wash the glass from the remains of the dish. After that, it will be enough just to rinse it with water.
The blender looks stylish and presentable. It is in perfect harmony with a minimalistic or modern interior: a laconic, no-nonsense body, straight lines, classic colors. A useful and beautiful addition to any kitchen.
disadvantages
Despite the obvious advantages, this model also has some disadvantages.
So, at idle, it makes a loud noise. It is recommended to preload food and only then turn on the blender: this will reduce the noise level.

It mixes products of almost any consistency and degree of hardness with high quality and quickly, and also perfectly chops ice for cocktails and smoothies. The device, due to its minimalistic design, fits into any modern interior. This blender makes life much easier and saves you time and effort for more important things!
