Product Description

For anyone who appreciates the benefits of juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, blending their own yoghurt drinks, or making fresh fruit cocktails, the Kenwood SB206 Smoothie Maker is a must.

This is the first New York style Smoothie Maker to be launched in the UK and is the perfect way to help start your day. Blend your choice of fruits for 20 seconds and you'll have a refreshing smoothie drink to perk you up and stave off hunger until lunchtime. By night, experience fresh-tasting, natural fruit smoothie cocktails: invite your friends along for rum and banana smoothies, or slick strawberry vodka smoothies.

Unique features make this machine quick, easy and fun for everyone--children and adults alike. A dispensing tap allows for continuous mixing and easy dispensing and the specially designed goblet funnels all your healthy, fruity ingredients into the blending blades and tap outlet. An ingenious mixing stick designed for use while the machine is in action is the secret to the perfect smoothie, allowing you to add all your ingredients without having to stop and remove the lid to stir.

The Kenwood Smoothie Maker includes a recipe booklet suggesting 14 different smoothie drinks and six alcoholic drinks you can make at home, all specially created for this machine.

Simple and always effective- but read the instructions!
By A customer
I have used this machine once or twice a week,with a range of ingredients (including frozen) and have never had any difficulties with any aspect of it's performance.

People seem to cite the tap as an impractical gimmick, but if you read the 'Tips' section in the book that accompanies the machine, you will see that it is reccommended you keep the smoothie maker switched on (i.e. still mixing) while you use the tap. If you follow this, the tap will function perfectly and you shouldn't get any fruit pulp choking it up.

Also, the recipe book is extremely useful as it gives you an indication as to the types,combinations and volumes of ingredients that will blend to give a good smoothie. When you have a feel for this, you can start making your own.

Obviously, you can't just pummel a sack of fruit into the gobelt and reasonably expect a mess free, tasty drink that won't clog up the tap - you have to use the smoothie maker for what it was designed for.

Basically, if you follow the instructions and make sure the blend of ingredients you are using can actually come together to make a drinkable drink,then this machine won't dissappoint you.

Tastes so good it must be bad for you!
By Matthew Gibson
I've just had to purchase one of these machines after experiencing one my girlfriend bought about a month ago. At first I thought it would a 5-minute wonder that would spend the rest of its days sitting idle on the kitchen work-top. How wrong I was! This baby makes some fabulous creations. What I love about it is that you can put just fruit and ice in (mango and bananas is my favourite), and what comes out tastes so fantastic that you can't quite believe it's actually healthy for you! What better way to encourage you to eat more nutritious fruit? If you're feeling a bit naughty you can add some vanilla ice cream in, but you'll find you don't need to generally, the fruit-based productions are so good (certainly better than ones you buy in shops for extortionate prices). Experimenting with different recipes is fun too, and it's very easy to clean. At this price, the smoothie maker is a such a bargain, I'd say give it a go - I really don't think you'll regret buying one.

Kenwood SB206 Smoothie Maker
By Mrs. A. L. Parsons
I've had this smoothie maker for about three years and cannot fault it.It blends soft fruits,hard fruits,ice and seeds without any problems(just don't add the seeds before any liquid, otherwise they block the tap and remain whole).It liquidises soup well but I find it is better not to use the tap when decanting the soup as this clogs easily.It is relatively easy to clean,just add soapy water then press the boost button (the majority of the smoothie is cleaned away) before taking it apart to clean further.A small bottle brush will clean inside the tap.It is a worthwhile addition to any kitchen and a great way to get the kids to eat healthily!
