Advantages: blends, chops and slices, fairly quiet, well built
Disadvantages: cleaning is a pain

...in hand I bought a Dualit 83234 Professional Blender in a Charcoal Grey colour for £85. This blender features a removable glass jug with an easy pour spout with a capacity to take 1.5 Litres of fluid. One of the main features this blender has is an interlocking system to prevent the blades within the jug from turning until the lid and the jug are secured in place. Now for m! e this is a great thing to have on my blender because the last one I had ...
...and when I purchased my Dualit blender it came with a very comprehensive recipe booklet which details a lot of recipes you can use your blender for such as soups. If you are looking to purchase this blender you will find it retails between £75 and £95 depending on where you choose to purchase it from, it is also available in ice Blue and Cream if you weren't too keen on the Charcoal colour, but I found those two colours to be more expensive to purchase. ...

Advantages: Retro look, easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: Glass jug can be heavy and more prone to breakage

I chose this blender to match my new look kitchen. I liked the retro style look of the blender with the choice of colours and the glass jug. It is really easy to use compared to some other blenders as the speed is operated by a dial. The safety features are also better than other blenders I have used: there is an on/off switch, a start/stop button and the lid must be properly fitted into the space at the back. This makes it very difficult for kids ... Read review

Advantages: Large containers for blitzing, powerful, variable speeds, pulsing
Disadvantages: Quite expensive - around £60

This Braun blender/chopper is fantastic. I have now thrown away my bulky full size processor. It comes with a 1 litre+ jug so I no longer need to process baby food a bit at a time. The jug also has an attachment to crush ice cubes - great for cocktails. There is also a smaller container which is tall & slim to prevent splashback. The small chopper bowl is great for herbs/garlic. I have now stopped using my garlic press as the chopper is easier to ...
...The metal end of the handblender is stronger then the plastic versions and its design prevents splashing. All in all this collection of Braun goodies provided me with a flexible tool that is easy to store and easy to use. I use it every day and thoroughly recommend it. ... 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
