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

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.

We bought this smoothie maker to help my husband become healthier and for me to enjoy fruit in a different way. Overall, it's not a bad product and it's generally quite powerful. 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
