Advantages: Ice crushing, lots of features, innovative dispensing nozzle

...in a new blender. This Russell Hobbs blender certainly does the trick, and then some. It's powered by a 600W motor, can handle 1.7 litres of whatever you're going to throw in there, has 3 different blending functions, and an ice crush selector for those hot summer afternoons, and includes a variety of recipes to get you on your way. It also has a handy little nozzle on the side for easy dispensing of your smoothies/milkshakes. However, another mind-boggling ...
...in use. Quite what this is intended for eludes me, maybe its for late night parties or something so you look cool, but it's a feature that serves no purpose. All in all, it does everything you need from a blender, and its only £14.99 at the moment, so at that price, it's an absolute steal. ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, bid capacity
Disadvantages: clean

From Smoothie to Healthy I purchased this Smoothie maker a couple of weeks ago from Amazon.co.uk. It cost me £14.99 on the sale price. The whole package includes the maker in separate pieces, a guarantee leaflet, an instruction booklet and a Smoothie recipe. Why Smoothie to healthy? We all need enough vitamins and mineral to keep healthy bodies. And Fresh fruits and vegetables contain many of those. However, blocks of vegetables ...
...That is why it is better to drink Smoothie. Well blended Smoothie can be easily absorbed to get essential nutrients for every day. Smoothie has been treated as very good recipe to keep healthy body. There are lots of vegetables and fruits you can blend into Smoothie and actually you do not need to follow the routine recipes unless you are on certain diet. You can mix them together to make sure you get 5 a day. Vegetables can be easy blended and ... Read review

Advantages: Easy tp use, ice crushing facility,
Disadvantages: None I have found

...myself. I purchased the Russell Hobbs Yawye Smoothie Maker because it primarily looked uncomplicated. It seems smoothie making machines come in all different shapes and sizes and their ease of use is also quite widely spread between never understanding it and very easy and I opted for very easy. In looks this smoothie maker looks like a blender and essentially that is what a smoothie maker is, a glorified blending machine except it is a smoothie ...
...The practical side of this Russell Hobbs smoothie maker is that it is 600 Watts and has a capacity to hold 1.7 litres of fluids, which is actually quite a lot, whilst making a decision as to which smoothie maker to buy it would seem that the fluid capacity ranged from 1.2 litres to 2 litres, the latter being part of a huge machine. Inside the glass jug, which is nestled on top of the base are the stainless steel blades, again like the ones you would ... Read review

Advantages: High quality, good performance
Disadvantages: None!

I bought this smoothie maker a couple of weeks ago, and am very happy with it. It's a nice design with a brushed aluminum base and simple dial. I use it to make fruit, yogurt and ice smoothies, however, you can use it to make margaritas, ice-blended coffees, milk shakes and even soya milk!! (I will explain later). The jug is made of glass, not plastic and can hold up to 1.25 litres. You can put the glass jar, the lid and measuring cup (which fits ...
...not the removable blade). There is a separate filter that you can put in where the measuring cup is kept (not in photo, but it would be in the centre of the jug). This allows you to put fruits that contain seeds or skin that you don't want 'blended' in your smoothie. By using the filter you can also make soya milk! You have to soak the soya beans first then put in the filter to be 'ground' up with water. There are three different buttons: Smoothie, ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent powerful blender
Disadvantages: Very unreliable

We purchased this blender to make smoothies and vegetable soups. We are on our third blender in 3 months due to various faults. Blender 1. Shorted the house electrics and made a horrible smell Blender 2. The washer which prevents leaks broke Blender 3. The washer which prevents leaks broke and the blades stopped spinning. When the blender works it is very good. The blender is very powerful and blends fruit and ice into great smoothies. When it ...
...the case that it has only been designed for occasional use. The manual advises that the blades can be easily removed for cleaning. We found the blades stuck fast and it impossible to remove the blades on all 3 blenders we owned. The preset controls make it really easy to use. Its a real shame we can't seem to get a working one. But there appears to be some design and reliability flaws in the product. ... Read review
