Fantastic blender.
By triciam - Lancashire
As an avid juicer / souper, this blender is superb. It does everything that it says and more. The automatic programmes for ice,smoothies, soups and frozen fruits is everything a smoothie girl needs.Fresh fruits or frozen fruits just push the button leave it and like magic, mixed like a dream automatically. No moving around on the work top, very quiet compared to others blenders that I've had too. Highly recommend it !!! Go on buy it you wont regret it. :-)

By Ben van Broekhuijsen
I am not really experienced with using blenders, but when I read the negative comments on other brands like Philips that quickly broke down, I decided to trust the reviews of the other users about this great blender and ordered one. And so far I don't regret it!I started out with a raw food diet and wanted to have a good blender to make my green smoothies. In the raw food scene online, everyone is praising (hyping) the Vitamix blenders. Not only do I think they are absolutely hideous to look at, they are ridiculously expensive here in Europe. I mean 600 to 650 euro for a blender? Come on!!! Then they are talking about horsepowers which does not make sense at all. I prefer to compare the power consumption of the motor because usually the higher the power consumption, the stronger the motor is. Also important is the rotation speed of the blades. With a max of 15000 rpm, this machine is fit for the job. The faster the blades spin, the finer the contents will be blended.Now be warned, if you are living outside of the UK, you will receive this blender with the default huge power plug (what were they thinking when they made this the standard in the UK? :) ) Unfortunately countries like Portugal and The Netherlands have to use the UK amazon site as other sites often don't ship to these countries. Now with a device like this, it is not a problem. You buy a converter plug and there is no problem in using it. With a cellphone for example, where the plug is also the power adapter, the converter plug makes it extra big and clumsy to carry around. Since I am not planning on traveling with my blender, it is not a problem. (you could also put on another plug, but I don't know what this does to the warranty.)Now I inspected the coupling between the bowl and the motor. On the bowl side, it is made of metal, on the motor side it looks like some kind of rubber. It however looks sturdy and I trust the quality is fine.I went to the electronics store today here in Portugal and checked many blenders from Moulinex, Philips, Braun and some unknown brands to the rest of the world. NONE of them had metal couplings, it was all plastic and when I look at the Philips ones for instance, I can imagine why it breaks down so fast.The cutting blades on this blender are quite sturdy and made of thick metal. The ones from Philips and other brands looked like they were made from a recycled tin can. Besides that, most models have only a 500 to 600 watt motor. This might be just fine, but once you do a raw diet, this is a device you are actually going to use every day (instead of using it as a dust catcher). I can imagine that if you are using a 600 watt motor, that a tough blend job takes much more toll on the motor than with a 1200 watt one.In instruction videos for green smoothies, you often see people turning the speed dial. They even warn you that you have to make sure you set back the speed dial to low when starting up the blender and then turn up the speed. This because else the substances will get splashed all around causing the lid to be smudged as well. Not that this is a big thing but it is nicer if not.Now with this blender you don't have to take care of this at all. Just press start and you will see that the electronic control will automatically start slower and then speed up the motor. I love the automatic smoothie setting. It starts blending at a higher speed (after a slow start up of course) and then it varies the speed to make sure that all ingredients will have a chance to drop to the bottom and get blended as well. Then it will speed up again and automatically stop when the smoothie is finished.Now, of course I don't know how long this machine will last. I have no Idea how the quality of the Vitamix is compared to this one. I do know that the motor feels quite heavy, usually indicating high quality materials being used. I think that the glass bowl is a lot better than the plastic ones of other brands, but maybe I am wrong.I can easily see this machine working for 10 years without a hitch. Maybe I am wrong but I will tell you in 10 years from now :p. I don't know how long the Vitamix will work. They claim it will last a life time, but if that were true, they would offer a lifetime warranty but they don't.Now if you are doubting to buy this blender because it is expensive.. DON'T it seems to be a great blender. If you are doubting because actually you want a Vitamix... well don't buy this one and spend you hard earned money on the overpriced Vitamix.Now like my fellow reviewers said: Buy the blender.. you will not regret it!!!If you have further questions, please let me know.Cheers

By J. Fleming
ok so you are thinking.. 'Hey this is a lot off Money to spend on a blender; should I shouldn't I', well I think YOU should!! I trolled through so many hundreds of reviews, joined 'Which' magazine for a month (NO they did not have a full preview on this blender only a First Look!!grrrrr but in time they will, first look was promising though) to read all about blenders...I ummed and aagghed, I looked at others the same price, I re searched Good Housekeeping; its not on there but a competitor 'Villaware' is...really it was between this and the Villaware one, which got some minor negative points on 'Which' so I went for this one!! Finally!!oh I did think about really splashing out on the Vitamix or Blendtec but your talking Hundreds then so I thought I would start with this one and see if the 'smoothie' 'souping' phase would wear off in my life!!I have had it for a month; what can I say, its BRILLIANT! From Raw Carrots to ice cream, its a real Work Horse! It comes with a recipe book which is really good, and guides you through using it, I am inspired by the 'innocent ' smoothie books as well and a lot of free lancing...Once you are comfortable with following their own recipes for this blender you will learn really how to add lib your self, and how it works, some off my own ice creams have not blended properly but by adjusting, adding some liquid, using the spatula to press it down it turns out perfect! Dont be scared to throw in raw veg; its churns it into mush or soup if you add liquid! I do chop it down a bit first. I also blend whole quarter apples pips, skin and all with a bit off water then run it through my jam strainer to get perfect juice and NO waste! As for the ice crusher and smoothie settings its amazing, my daughter gets 3 a day and at least 16 of her 5-a-day fruit and veg this way!! Great for getting all the right stuff into kids!Its inspiring!! It has 4 separate speeds as well as the pre set 'ice crusher' 'smoothie' 'soup' and 'ice cream' ones, It was not clear it had these seperate ones in a lot of reviews so I was VERY pleased with that. Also it comes with a spatula as it says but does not make it clear this can fit through the top with the middle insert removed so you can push fruit etc down safely as it processes (Its made so it DOES not contact the blades when its on Thank God!) so you can leave it there or remove it, also a little measuring jug is part of the middle insert. Cleaning is SO SIMPLE, the jug is a heavy glass; but needs to be, the base of the jug easily unscrews, seperating it from the jug and the blade just comes off, cleaning takes No time as there are very few bits, you can then rinse all the glass jug out through each end..Alternatively just add few drops off washing liquid some hot water and whizz it on 4 for a few seconds...Rinse ALL done! The solid base does not move around on the work surface, and is also fab to clean and the jug just slots on to the base either left handed or right handed !I did not get the one with the mill attachment, as without it it does the Job fine!I am trying to think off all the things I would have wanted to know pre purchase to help you all out!I highly recommend trial and error after a while off following recipes; if things do get jammed, just add a bit off liquid or force it down using the spatula; this has always worked with all the frozen fruit I use.I frequently use ice blender crusher for my ice frappes; just like the star bucks one! Also crushed/powdered ice great in plastic bag for sore heads!I made a delicious Chilli Tom soup; my own recipe so you have an example of what it can do it went as follows; fresh Tomatoes, whole, whole garlic cloves, whole (as in skin etc still on) washed carrots chopped, (3cm bits) whole chilli (wow did it kill all germs bugs in my body!) fresh Basil, salt pepper, whizzed it up with a bit off water, yogurt, heated it in micro and it was amazing!It has 3 year guarantee, spare jugs etc easily available online ( I am dreading dropping it on my stone floor ;-O )You WONT regret buying it...Good luck in your decision...For me every penny was worth it..
