Mixer grinders or mixies are one of the most common household items in India. The mixie replaces our traditional stone grinders and is indispensable to Indian cooking.

Bosch in India is a well-respected brand renowned for its German quality. Bosch offers a range of mixies under the Truemixx range. The TrueMixx Joy 500W range is the low-range blender that Bosch offers today.

The TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN comes with a 500W motor, 3 useful SS jars, an elegant design (red, white & black), and a host of other features. The TrueMixx Joy 500W Red is a good choice for people who want an elegant blender. Remember, For almost the same price, you can get the better Sujata Supermix mixie.

We recommend reading our buyer’s guide to learn what to look for when buying a mixer grinder.

  • Powerful 500W HiFlux motor
  • 3 Jars
  • 100% Stainless Steel Blades
  • Overload protector
  • PoundingBlades
  • ABS Plastic Body

Pros

  • Elegant and sleek design
  • Unmatched German engineering, attention to detail, elegant design (comes in three colors – Red, White & Black), and Bosch brand
  • Blunt PoundingBlade design with thick edges that replicate a traditional stone grinder. Watch out the PoundingBlade design also makes it noisy
  • Shockproof ABS plastic body for a more durable and long-lasting performance
  • 2-year warranty on the product

Cons

  • Only a 500W motor, while it can grind hard items, will not be as efficient as a 750W motor
  • Confusing product naming, no useful information found on Bosch India website, and questionable after-sales support
  • “Ok” build quality, not expected from a German company selling at a premium rate
  • Without proper evidence, feature such as the PoundingBlade design looks like mere marketing gimmicks
  • At over ₹4,500+ for a 500W, 3-jar mixie is expensive

Bottom Line

Bottomline inforgraphicsThe Bosch TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN is Bosch’s low-range mixer grinder for the Indian market. Bosch offers the TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN Red with 3 jars, a 500W motor, and an elegant design. Bosch TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN Red is a versatile mixie capable of addressing most of your needs.

The biggest letdown is the quality. The entire unit does not ‘feel’ premium or well put together. Also, the loud noise from the PoundingBlade design is another issue that we did not like in the Bosch TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN mixie. It also lacks features like atta-kneading and vegetable cutter that you find in other similarly priced mixies.

Overall, the TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN is similar to the Bajaj Pluto Mixer Ginder. The difference is the Bajaj Pluto will cost you 1/3rd of the TrueMixx Joy. For almost the same price, you can get the better Sujata Supermix mixie. We recommend the Bosch TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN for people who like the Bosch brand. Anyone else is better off with an alternate.

What is the difference between the Bosch TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2133BIN, TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130WIN, and TrueMixx Joy 500W MGM2130RIN?

Thanks to Bosch’s confusing product model naming, an unhelpful website, and confusing pricing strategy, the difference between these models is not clear. We assume that the differences are internal in the motor and in the build quality. Featurewise both the models are exactly the same. Unless Bosch clarifies we will never fully know the true difference.

The downside is the loud noise it makes when grinding. We are also not sure if this design makes any difference to the taste.
