Soft and smoothie just llike me.

Advantages: Easy tp use, ice crushing facility,
Disadvantages: None I have found

...I have been wanting a smoothie making machine for ages, everyone that I know has got one and swears by them and every day at work some of the girls that I lunch with come in with their home made smoothies to get them through the morning to lunch time. So I decided it was about time I caught up with the times and purchased one for myself. I purchased the Russell Hobbs Yawye Smoothie Maker because it primarily looked uncomplicated. It seems smoothie making machines come in all different shapes and sizes and their ease of use is also quite widely spread between never understanding it and very easy and I opted for very easy. In looks this smoothie maker looks like a blender and essentially that is what a smoothie maker is, a glorified blending machine except it is a smoothie maker. The base contains those little non-slip pads...

Review of Russell Hobbs Yawye Smoothie Maker

Twist and Shake

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Motor sounds terrible

...This review is for the Russell Hobbs 12620 smoothie maker. What you get? With this smoothie maker you are going to be getting the actual smoothie maker but also a few different adapters. I was given a European adapter and also the normal adapter you would use for this country as well. You have to put the cylinder on top of the motor and once connected you then look for the fantastic menu guide they give you for a starter because sometimes when you?re new to making smoothies you will find it quite difficult at first. Design The design is very good for this item. You have on the base unit for which the motor is situated this very shiny grey colour but has this solid black bottom. The bottom of the device has these very small little pieces of plastic which stick out in each corner and this basically keeps...

Russell Hobbs steam glide iron

Advantages: Great value for money, easy to use, quick to iron, nice looking
Disadvantages: a bit heavy

...I bought this Russell Hobbs Steam glide Professional Iron which is styled in a rich purple colour way and boasts 2200 watts of power from Argos for around £21 which is great value for money. I decided to buy this iron because my old iron had stopped working after only just about a year which is my own fault for getting such as really cheap non brand iron at the time. I am not usually all that keen on ironing but since getting this attractive iron from agros I have quite enjoyed ironing as the iron is so nice to the touch and is easy to iron clothes. The fact that it has a ceramic soleplate effortlessly glides over fabrics, cutting down on ironing time. I really like the fact that the iron has a large 350ml large transparent water tank, meaning less time is spent refilling. Featuring variable temperature and steam settings, plus...

Russell Hobbs 2 Slice White toaster

Advantages: deforst, adjustable slots, cancel button
Disadvantages: only 2 slots

...COST: £14.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Comet AGE: 6 months COLOUR: White SPECIAL FEATURES: high lift, cancel button, wide slots and 'cool wall' covering Bought from my local comet shop this russel hobbs toaster was a much needed appliance in our house. Since ours came with very little kitchen essentials we had spent over a year cooking our toast under the grill. I know what you're thinking why spend so long before buying a toaster when you can pick one up from Tesco for around a fiver. The fact is we'd never thought we'd really need one and since we won some vouchers for comet we thought we'd splash out on a fancy brand name one. This toaster is pretty basic in fuction, it only holds two slices and works by pressing the lever down, you can adjust the power setting but only works if you set it before you press down the lever as...

RUSSEL HOBBS

Advantages: light, stylish
Disadvantages: more or less everything else

...Russel Hobbs are often extremely well made and durable appliances however this is not the case with this product. I'll admit that this iron looks extremely stylish and well made, however it isnt. I personally dont own this product but I bought one for a Christmas present for my friend as a joke and she has being ranting on about it ever since. It has a dial which adjusts the heat for a variety of different textures of clothes such as silk, cotton and that material on sports wear. However no matter what heat setting it is on it still seems far too hot for the material. My friend has said that she has burnt more clothes that not with this iron. However the cord is extremely long which I suppose is an advantage (4metres) It doesnt though have a steam shoot which I thought was standard for any iron nowadays. Oh how I was wrong. It is though...

Get into hot water with style - Russell Hobbs Stylis Kettle

Advantages: Hot water and fast!
Disadvantages: Measly power cord 0.75 m length

...The Russell Hobbs 14590 Stylis kettle is cordless and takes its power from a circular base that allows the kettle to face in any position in a 360 plain allowing it to be arranged on even a flat and level work surface suitably-oriented for either left, right or even mixed-handed households. The base comes with a 0.75 metre mains cable which restricts where you can place the kettle but satisfies the safety aspect of reducing the chance of catching trialling cables for electrically-operated appliances especially those that can contain up to 1.7 litres of boiling water. The kettle has an open handle that gives the kettle quite a good balanced feel even when full of boiling water. The spout is both accurate for pouring measured amounts exactly where you want them and non-drip when you return to the base. The water is delivered through...

Russell Hobbs 9379 - Good Value

Advantages: Seems to do what it claims! Good looks, Robust
Disadvantages: None so far..

...Sick and fed up of getting burnt toast every morning, we decided it was time to get a more modern toaster. After much deliberation, we decided on a Russell Hobbs/Classic Satin Toastec?, 4 slice toaster, model number 9379. (Have included the model number, as there are other near identical toasters with different number). The "New Rapid Toastec? System that crisps bread rapidly on the outside, while keeping is moist in the centre" is what the blurb said and this is what attracted us. And fair enough, it seems to live up to that claim. The looks of the machine are quite good and reminds me of professional toasters one often sees in eating establishments (cafes if your not posh). It is made out of stainless steel and looks good on the kitchen worktop and is robust. The controls are set our along the base? There are two browning...

Russell Hobbs hand blender - Model No. 14452

Advantages: Fast blending./chopping
Disadvantages: Cannot be used in very hot liquids

...My elderly Braun handblender which is used several times a week when I make soup was getting rather blunt so I went to buy another. I didn't see a Braun but I did see this Russell Hobbs model. I used it almost immediately but within minutes the plastic guard had melted and buckled in the hot liquid. I was pretty well stunned; this was the last think I expected. I re-read the instruction booklet and although it advises blending the ingredients before cooking and using caution when working with hot liquids, nowhere does it say that it is unsuitable for use in hot liquids. So beware! Otherwise, the two speeds are good and it did blend the vegetables well. However, it looks as though I might have a fight with the manufacturers for a refund....

Fun Smoothie maker

Advantages: Looks good in the kitchen
Disadvantages: wire cord not long enough

...The disney smoothie maker 1 Litre jug capacity in Mickey measures safety interlock lid preventing non-secure use. tap for easy dispense unique stir stick £29.99 This smoothie maker comes from the new collection of kitchen appliances from Disney. It has a clear jug, so you can see the contents, the bottom is red and is like Mickey's shorts, it has a red lid and white feet. It is a fun looking smoothie maker. It works just the same as any other smoothie maker and is a good product as it is from the Kenwood range. The difference with this one is, not only does it look cute, but it has a stir stick in the lid, it is easier to get to those bits that always seem to get stuck in the bottom. So start blending, stop and stir then carry on, then when finished stir again. This one a good feature to include. The pourer is...

Russell Hobbs 4461 - spare parts

Advantages: Does a decent job of making a range of breads
Disadvantages: Spare parts policy is not customer/environment focussed

...The Russell Hobbs 4461 'does what it says on the tin' ie you can make a range of loaves with the minimal fuss that you would expect from a breadmaker. What you might like to know as a potential purchaser is 'can I get spares if it goes wrong'? If you want a new paddle (the bit that kneads the dough), no problem. If you need a new baking tin, again no problem. I need a new seal for the shaft at the bottom of the loaf tin. Just a small rubber o-ring seal, value a few pence. However, the spares outlet (Salton, the parent company of Russell Hobbs) will only sell a complete loaf tin (cost £17). I have pointed out to them how customer unfriendly this is not to mention the environmental damage of making a new metal loaf tin to get the use of a small rubber seal but they simply repeat that they 'unfortunately' only sell the loaf tin...
