Blenders > 5 Blenders

Advantages: Large containers for blitzing, powerful, variable speeds, pulsing
Disadvantages: Quite expensive - around £60

This Braun blender/chopper is fantastic. I have now thrown away my bulky full size processor. It comes with a 1 litre+ jug so I no longer need to process baby food a bit at a time. The jug also has an attachment to crush ice cubes - great for cocktails. There is also a smaller container which is tall & slim to prevent splashback. The small chopper bowl is great for herbs/garlic. I have now stopped using my garlic press as the chopper is easier to ...
...The metal end of the handblender is stronger then the plastic versions and its design prevents splashing. All in all this collection of Braun goodies provided me with a flexible tool that is easy to store and easy to use. I use it every day and thoroughly recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: Price, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

I bought this hand blender when I started weaning my baby. I wanted to make his food myself to ensure I knew what went in it, I for some reason have a huge distrust in jarred baby food. I also use it to make myself fruit smoothies which it does brilliantly. I have a large free-standing blender but its an absolute pain in the rear to clean, especially if I'm only blending small amounts of food, well actually even if I am blending alot of food I still ...
...I didn't want anything fancy and I didn't want anything expensive. This suited my requirements perfectly. It is comfortable to use, fitting perfectly into your hand and blends the food up pretty quickly. It has a detachable foot, making it so easy to clean. It is quite small, stores away well. The jug that comes with it is very handy, just the right size. I would definately recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: Blends food well
Disadvantages: Loud

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: High quality, good performance
Disadvantages: None!

I bought this smoothie maker a couple of weeks ago, and am very happy with it. It's a nice design with a brushed aluminum base and simple dial. I use it to make fruit, yogurt and ice smoothies, however, you can use it to make margaritas, ice-blended coffees, milk shakes and even soya milk!! (I will explain later). The jug is made of glass, not plastic and can hold up to 1.25 litres. You can put the glass jar, the lid and measuring cup (which fits ...
...not the removable blade). There is a separate filter that you can put in where the measuring cup is kept (not in photo, but it would be in the centre of the jug). This allows you to put fruits that contain seeds or skin that you don't want 'blended' in your smoothie. By using the filter you can also make soya milk! You have to soak the soya beans first then put in the filter to be 'ground' up with water. There are three different buttons: Smoothie, ... Read review
