Advantages: Powerful, stable, glass jug.
Disadvantages: Jug is a bit heavy, only one minute suggested processing time.

...I came across this Morphy Richards Food Fusion SMOOTH on offer in a supermarket in my area and thought it could be what I was looking for. I had a look around on the internet, but I ony found one review, but I decided to take the chance and try it. Morphy Richards is not very well known here in Italy, but I knew it is quite popular in the UK. The build seemed to be good quality, with its cast metal base, glass jug and stainless steel blades, the ...
...speeds and a clever cable and plug storage system. So I decided to give it a try, even if it was not really cheap for a blender, around 60£. When I opened the package I immediately found the water tight cover and the little steel cover that doubles as a measuring jug (60 ml). After I removed the top protection I found the base and the graduated 1,5 l jug, and the instruction manual together with a nice recipe book, with interesting suggestions on ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap price, glass jug
Disadvantages: Plastic parts in the locking mechanism can break off

...in Sainsburys and noticed the Bush HB005 blender at just £19.99 in the kitchen appliance section. With its squat, rounded chrome-effect base and tall clear glass jug it looked stylish in a retro sort of way and with its powerful 400 watt motor and a glass jug rather than a plastic one, I thought it was great value so it went into my trolley. Although there were much cheaper blenders (including one for just £11.99), there were much more expensive ...
...the under £20 price range with a glass jug. A glass jug is particularly useful because of its strength and durability. If you are using the blender for smoothies, or for any recipe involving crushing ice (and just to be clear, this model has blades that CAN crush ice), a glass jug is a much better option, as it won't scratch or crack like plastic might. And whilst a scratched plastic blender jug does look unsightly, it also makes cleaning more difficult ... 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

Advantages: great blender
Disadvantages: none

My daughters both love milk shakes and fruit drinks but trying to get them to eat a piece of fruit is near impossible so when i spotted this blender for just £15.23p at asda i thought i would give it a go as if it wasnt any good i hadnt wasted a fortune on it. I was very surprised with how easy this blender is to use, the base attaches to the jug very easily and the power wont start if the jug isnt attached properly so no risk of the jug flying ...
...the front and a pulse mode to make things even smoother. The jug is 1.5 litres which is an ideal size for what we need and is made of plastic, the blades are stainless steel so are brilliant for blending fruit and according to the box they are supposed to be tough enough to mix ice but i havent had any need to try this. The jug unattaches from the base easily enough and the blades unscrew for ease of cleaning but you do need to make sure they are ... Read review
