Advantages: Great blender, good price, looks classy Disadvantages: Care needs to be taken when unscrewing the jug.
...look there and found a Kenwood BL440 which was a blender with a grinder attachment and was just £20.
This was ideal for me - I didn't want to pay a fortune for a 'smoothie maker' when this would do the job just as well and I got a grinder as a bonus!
The blender has a generous one and a half litre jug with twin speeds and a pulse feature so that you can give you control over the amount of time the blender is operating - for making pates etc. where ... ...small basic unit with stainless steel blades ideal for grinding coffee or chopping nuts. I haven't actually used the grinder on this particular model yet but have used them on other models in the past and have found them quick and efficient.
The blender is white with an 'ergonomically designed handle' which is basically a handle that is easy to grip so that you can twist the blender to lock it on the base or remove it from the same. The acrylic ...

Advantages: Blends food quickly and easily, great price Disadvantages: Loudish - but no problem
...most of you would agree, Kenwood is a respectable, well known brand which has been going for a while now. So i started shopping around for a Kenwood blender. Although my daughter wanted the blender mostly for smoothies, i didn't want to buy one of those smoothie makers as i like to experiment with different ingredients and therefore i could make other things in it while my daughter made her smoothies.
I was flicking through the Argos catalogue to ... ...Packaging***
I got the Kenwood blender home and opened the box. The blender was well packaged, there were protective bags and cardboard. I took it all out of the packaging and gave it the once over, the blender wasn't damaged. In the box was the blender, the mill attatchment and some information leaflets.
***THE APPLIANCE***
BLENDER (BASE UNIT) - The blender is white and made of really strong, hard wearing plastic. It has four sucker feet, which ...

My daughters both love milk shakes and fruit drinks but trying to get them to eat a piece of fruit is near impossible so when i spotted this blender for just £15.23p at asda i thought i would give it a go as if it wasnt any good i hadnt wasted a fortune on it.
I was very surprised with how easy this blender is to use, the base attaches to the jug very easily and the power wont start if the jug isnt attached properly so no risk of the jug flying ... ...the front and a pulse mode to make things even smoother. The jug is 1.5 litres which is an ideal size for what we need and is made of plastic, the blades are stainless steel so are brilliant for blending fruit and according to the box they are supposed to be tough enough to mix ice but i havent had any need to try this. The jug unattaches from the base easily enough and the blades unscrew for ease of cleaning but you do need to make sure they are ...

...even when its only blending fruit. My old blender was noisy and my mate's blender is quite loud too, though if it were a competition, I'm sure my Kenwood would win. Still, in spite of that it is really a great buy and I highly recommend it. ...
