Advantages: Metal blades to crush ice, looks good, hard wearing glass jug Disadvantages: Very hard to separate jug from motor unit, hard to clean
We bought this blender 6 months ago, primarily to mix cocktails and smoothies up in. We chose this over the Kenwood smoothie maker because we felt it would be more versatile if we did wish to prepare anything else. We also liked the looks of the blender and the fact that it had a hard wearing glass jug rather than a plastic one (It will go in the dishwasher safely).

The first a Grinder, for Coffee, spices and seeds etc
The Second a standard liquidiser
It has 2 settings, a fast speed and a pulse function
The lid can also be used as a measuring cup, and the jug has a 1ltr capacity, with both imperial and metric guides.
After use the device is easily cleaned thanx to its smooth lines.
I have so far used it to make soup’s and cake mixes and have been quite satisfied with the results.
However, although I have not yet used the grinder attachment, one of the clips to secure it to the base unit has broke already, so I guess this model isn’t as durable as others.
Having said that, its an easy to use ...
Advantages: Great 4-way multiplayer quality, for a platformer Disadvantages: A lot of recycled or uninspired material
3 years after the successful reincarnation of the classic Super Mario Bros. adventuring recipe on the DS, Nintendo brings the formula to its second most popular console, also introducing what series' creator Shigeru Miyamoto was aspiring to integrate for the past couple of decades: true co-operative multiplayer modes.
The Story
You might easily regard the story of New Super Mario Brothers Wii as the biggest cliché of all time. It is, after all, about rescuing princesses from a dragons' fortresses and it's been pretty much the same for every Super Mario platformer in existence... but I choose to see it a bit differently.
I find the true story behind every Super Mario platformer is one of surreality & escapism. It's about being transported into a completely nonsensical world, one filled ...
