Kenwood SB 252 Smoothie Football

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Quality

...The key to deciding whether to buy/use a blender and imparticular a the Kenwood SB100 blender is that you have to think what you are using it for. If you are using it for a convenient and easy way of avoiding chopping up and the cooking of certain foods such as fruit and soft vegetables, then it is for you. Personally I found it a very helpful tool of making soups and dips. The problem is that if you use it for just smoothy making the end result may not be all you expect.

Disadvantages: Very heavy and not as compact as some would like

...I was given one of these as a Christmas present, and use it predominantly for making smoothies. The metal jug has an internal measuring rule, which makes it much easier to measure out quantities of ingredients. The blades are very sharp, and crush ice and frozen fruit with no problems. The jug is very large, and can make smoothies for up to six people. The machine has four settings, including pulse and mix.
