Quality hardware at reasonable price

Advantages: good looks, nice set of attachments, quality, excellent performance
Disadvantages: short power cable, wall holder not too practical

We recently bought this device for our new home and are loving it. It really makes it easy to prepare any kind of foods, especially our favorites - shakes, fruit smoothies, purée soups, dough for various types of cakes and so on. The device comes in a pretty big box, inside is a nice plastic tray with all the parts securely placed. Included are the blender device itself, a small and a big container with lids (with non-slip bases, big one has a handle ...
...ice crusher attachment for the big container, wall holder with screws, user manual (quite clear to understand) and other paperwork. This hand blender has 15 different speeds plus a turbo speed option available with a separate button. It can slice and dice just about anything, from soft fruits to hard ice. The design is good and ergonomic, quality is excellent and all parts fit together perfectly. Performance is top notch, especially with the turbo ...

...x 23D cm Weight: 5.04kg *How does it work? Well, it's amazingly simple. For a fab smoothie choose the fruit you want in your recipe; take off the top lid; tip in your fruit and add sufficient milk / juice / alcohol.... whatever liquid you've decided on; replace the lid and switch on. There are handy measuring lines on the jug so that if you're brave enough to make up your recipe you can get the solid : liquid ratio right. *What settings do I ...

Dragon soups on demand

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. ...

Easy way to 5 a day!

Advantages: Easy to use and clean. Looks nice
Disadvantages: Noisy

...5 a day and the Kenwood SB 277 has done the trick! The machine itself is quite large but its black and chrome exterior means that it looks good on the kitchen worktop. It is easy to put together. I managed to assemble it fairly quickly. It has a large glass jug (1.5l capacity), which is dishwasher safe. The black lid has a hole with a cap to add ingredients. It also has a pull down tap making it easy to serve the smoothie up into several glasses. ...
...makes it simple to get your smoothies to the right consistency. I personally like mine not to thick and lump free so I used the faster speed for a slightly longer time. It blends very well although it is quite loud. The smoothies themselves were absolutely delicious. It comes with a recipe book full of ideas to try. I have also found it useful for crushing ice and making cocktails! This has been a quick, easy and delicious way to 5 a day! ...

cheap and nasty

Advantages: incredibly cheap
Disadvantages: noisy, inefficient, leaves lumps

...you pay for. I believe Cookworks have brought out a more recent model which may be better but unless the head in particular has been re-designed I think it will have the same shortcomings. That's really all I have to say but have added this last bit to make up the required length of text! ...
