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

Advantages: Cheap, blends well, simple to use.
Disadvantages: Not cordless, so unless you have a socket near the stove it can be awkward.

I'd been wanting a hand-blender for quite some time, to make soups more easily, and make smoothies and puddings with less mess to clean up! When I noticed this one in Asda, for around £5, I thought "what the hey" and promptly purchased it. It's quite a simple thing: 200w motor and 2 speeds (fast, and faster). It has a white cord, which is around 37" long. The bottom (the bit with the neck and the blade) twists off simply, so you can clean it thoroughly ...
...some pale green detailing -- quite nice to look at. It's somewhat heavy, but I don't really have anything to compare it to, so that may be normal for stick type blenders, and it's not so bad you need to be a muscle woman to use it! Basically, you plug it in at the wall, flick the switch at the socket, stick the bladed end into whatever you want to blend, then push and hold one of the two speed buttons (which are arranged in a sort of green coloured ...

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
