Blend Blend

Advantages: Blending goodness
Disadvantages: Blending badness

Having had this brought for me as a present over a year ago i have to give it to this mighty machine its still as powerfull and usfull as the day i unwrapped it. THE LOOK: Very chic in silver and black this blender (WELL YOU COULD ALMOST CLASS IT AS A POWER TOOL) looks fab on anyone kitchen surface esp mine. Silver casing black buttons, and plastic mixing jug. USEABILITY: I use mine most days, not just for smoothys but for many other blender useages(WE ...
...MUCH MORE IN IT) this machine is one powerfull contraption. Frozen friut, bread to make breadcrumbs, ice, food for the kids when they were smaller, cheese sauces etc. Its simple to use, the plastic jug and the stiring pole at the top they all come apart for cleaning. The tap on the front lets you pour out your juice/smoothy and with the different buttons you can make things chunky /smooth depending on how you like your drinks. CLEANING IT: This ...

Breville VBL011 Anthony Worral Thompson Blender

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. ...

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! ...

Blitz, Whizz and Watch Your Fingers.

Advantages: Multipurpose and easy to store
Disadvantages: No pulse button

...deal on a range of Breville blenders. Anyway after deliberation we opted for the VHB027 Hand Blender Set at £23, it was nicely discounted and seemed just what we needed. After we got it home it was time to get it out of the box and try it. The blender itself is quite light about 12 inches long and easy to clean. It has two buttons normal and turbo but no pulse. The chopper attachment is extremely sharp so be careful when you wash it my other half ...
...and she cut her finger while washing it. It can hold and chop about 2 onions at a time along with other herbs with ease, chopping was something that the old liquidiser could not do and it is such a pleasure to not do it by hand. It takes a couple of short bursts of 2 seconds to end up with finely chopped onions without the tears. Can the blender blend? Yes it can. As the next experiment we decided to make Carrot and Coriander soup. My other half ...
