Personal Blender Smoothies Maker with 2 x 600ml Tritan Blending Bottles for Smoothie, Milkshake, Fruit Vegetables Drinks,350W

Straightforward no nonesense blender/smoothie maker. There's only one button, which you have to keep pressed to keep it going, and one speed, but that's pretty much all I need. Peeled and segmented a couple of oranges, chopped an apple, handful of grapes, roughly chopped some fresh ginger and whizzed up in no time. I was half expecting to have to stir it up, but with a bit of "pulsing" it circulates the contents just fine so that all are evenly blitzed.I thought at first that I'd have to send it back because it was dripping, but it was simply that I had to screw the blade unit into the bottle rather more firmly than I first thought, because a) it has to make a liquid-tight fit (obviously) and b) it has to be extra-tight enough not to unscrew when releasing from the base unit with an anticlockwise twist. That would be messy!It comes with two identical bottles, each with a flip-up cap. When not in use the cap is stored on the base of the bottle. It's threaded but the base isn't, so it looks like it doesn't fit, but be firm with it and it snaps on. A good touch is that it comes with 3 spare plastic/rubber washers for if/when the seal starts to leak after much use. I can't see how I'd remove the old washer without chewing it up, but hopefully the replacement will fit in no prob.The instructions say not to store with the blade unit in place. I'm interpreting that as don't put the blade unit into the base unless it's attached to the bottle, not only for safety reasons but that's the only way you'll get it off again.Overall, good value.

Ok, I'd been thinking of getting one of these for absolutely ages and came across this one, so as you do you read the reviews don't you.Well you know what it's like good and bad as you will always get someone who likes to have a moan and find fault, well I'm telling you now, this product has changed my life.It's awesome, works perfectly if you use it correctly, a great little blender, strong chopping/mixing action, also, it cleans so easily, the 2 containers, yes 2, you get with it are so easy to clean, a couple of swishes in near hot soapy water and it's done, no hassle whatsoever.It's highly recommended by me 100%.

Manual recommends no more than 40 seconds use. 2 functions are powerful and blades work well even on ice cubes. Plastic bottles are hard to keep clean but you get 2. A good buy overall.

I often use hard veg and fruits to blend, such as carrots and apples. Never had any issues with my smoothies. Great product

Excellent design. Having two cups is really useful. I filled the cup with my smoothly mix, screwed the blade onto the cup, then turned it over and slotted it onto the base, zapped it for approximately 10 seconds and hey presto, the perfect smoothy! The lid fits onto the bottom of the cup (just push it on and unclip it when needed) - once fitted, you can still stand the cup up, such a clever design. I now make a smoothy each morning as it is so quick and easy - no more messing about with fiddly blades. Cleaning it is a dream. The base is not bulky either and looks good enough to leave it out of the cupboard. I would highly recommend this product.

I've been making my smoothy drinks using this and its been really great. Easy to clean and maintain and doesn't take up alot of space on the worktop.

Terrible! It did not last a month. I should have suspected something was wrong when it smelled like something was burning on the first day I used it.

This has lasted me exactly a year and is now destined for the tip. The plastic materials in the base aren't made to last and the smell of friction / wear was noticable from first use. Only used for one smoothie a day containing frozen strawberries, everything else was soft. So depends how often you'll use it as to how long it'll last. Two smoothies a day and it might need replacing in 6 months!
