great value blender
By ceeka
I have had this product a month now and must say I love it.I use the blender every day to create smoothies and soup which involves plenty of ice which blends nicely. The pulse button bubbles up the smoothies making a nice fruit shake even when no milk or dairy is used.It is plastic and not glass, but I prefer this to my old blender as it is easy to rinse and wash. I haven't used the self clean button as yet...The blades are good too, the low blades mix everything at the bottom of the blender which is something missing on other makes and models of blenders.Highly recommend.

Duronic BL400
By Restren
Bought this after searching for a blender/grinder. Our existing one was a wedding present 37 years ago and finally gave up the ghost. Have to say we are very pleased with this product. The grinder works very well as does the blender. Would not hesitate to recommend it. Excellent performance especially bearing in mind the price.

Finally figured out how to get (sort of) crushed ice using this blender! See update below.
By Mr. T. Edwards
I bought this blender primarily because the product description said it would crush ice. Being a hot day when it arrived, I thought I'd give a go right away (after having a look at the poor instruction booklet that it came with) and attempt to make a mojito. There is no mention of the ice-crushing facility in the booklet. The blender only has two speeds and a pulse function, so I put a tray of ice blocks into the jug and put it on full blast only to end up with a white frosty powder and blocks of ice that would not be broken up by the blade (which is very very blunt indeed) and were just bouncing around. The same happened with the pulse function. Not a good start.I used the grinding mill this morning to grind my roasted coffee beans and it worked rather well - so no complaints there, apart from the housing being a little tight (but the cover stays on when you remove it so you shouldn't spill anything).I've yet to use the blender for regular use - such as making soups - but I'm sure it'll function well with cooked vegetables... it's just a pity that it doesn't crush ice like it says it does in the product description.*UPDATE* 28/06/12: It has come to my attention, that since my review, the technical specifications have been edited to say "Can crush small ice (For large ice crushing, please see the Duronic BL1200 blender)". But, what on earth is "small ice"? Surely standard ice cubes are the smallest pieces of ice anybody is going to have in a standard home. A get-out clause, methinks.*UPDATE* 24/08/12: Never being one to submit to defeat, I thought I'd have a go again at trying to make crushed ice using this blender. This time, I took the ice blocks out of the freezer and ran them under a cold tap for a few seconds (so that they crack) and let them rest for a few minutes. Then I chucked them into the blender, and then jabbed the pulse button very quickly (no loner then a second). Wait for the ice to fall. Then repeat until you get the consistency you want. Remember use only short, sharp jabs on the pulse button and you should get something that resembles crushed ice. Giving the blender a good shake in between pulses will help with consistency too. Make this the last thing you do when making a cocktail as it melts quickly. Hope this helps. Perhaps the blenders isn't so bad after all! Have given it an extra star now and changed the title of the review.
