The Electrolux Powermix Silent can be used any time of the day or night without disturbing a conversation or a sleeping child. This home appliance uses a patented Sound Reduction System, a unique combination of reduced vibrations and airflow. The Electrolux Powermix Silent was developed in Brazil and designed in Sweden. It was launched across Europe in the Spring 2011, and will be launched shortly in Latin America. [Electrolux]
