Frozen friut, bread to make breadcrumbs, ice, food for the kids when they were smaller, cheese sauces etc. Its simple to use, the plastic jug and the stiring pole at the top they all come apart for cleaning.

 INTELLIGENT BLENDER - BREVILLE  Right last week I intended to start my new healthy diet by eating at least five fruit and vegetables a day instead of five bars of chocolate a day, yeah right ok lets start of slowly lets reduce the choc intake and gain the fruit intake so I’ve purchased a blender to start making my own smoothies and soups – this way I’m guaranteed to get my five a day.

...and compact (well I think so) and fits great in any kitchen corner and is on show in my kitchen so its more likely to be used daily then if it’s shoved in the cupboard and not used at all.  ABOUT THE BLENDER  The toughened plastic jug is a 1.5 litre jug and also gives metric measurements on the side of the jug such as 1 to 6 cups & 500ml to 1500ml. The lid also comes complete with a removable measuring cup, I find this useful when ... Read review

Advantages: Looks, Motor, Spout
Disadvantages: Glass Jug, Price

Bought this for around £50 and was initially impressed with its features but ultimately i was unimpressed with it's durability. The motor is very strong and can crush ice/oats and fruit/veg easily but i found that the glass jug, while very strong and heavy, was still prone to cracking when it contained a lot of liquid. After about 6 months of use the glass jug began to crack around the handle, meaning you couldn't fill up the jug all the way when ... Read review

Advantages: Quite powerful for the price, affordable, good number of setting, pouring tap
Disadvantages: not very durable, not the easiest thing to clean thoroughly.

I think I bought it for about £37 from Currys but I have since bought a different one by a different manufacturer which was only £10 dearer but the jug was made of glass not plastic and actually, the difference this makes is quite significant. Firstly, the glass is easier ...
...get a bit of friction which wears out quite quickly. It's got a good capacity but the hand mixer doesn't reach as far down to the bottom of the jug as I'd like. We used it twice a day and within about a month it was beginning to feel worn. The other problem is that if you use it, you must clean it thoroughly, particularly the pouring tap. It comes unscrewed but this isn't enough to really clean it inside. The same problem applies to the rest of ... Read review
