The only problem was however much I tried to stir the frequently insoluble lumps into the milk the more I couldn't help thinking (as I stared into the abyss of 'unwelcome goo' that occasionally gave a resounding 'sploip'! The other day I tried the chopping blade with cashews and yoghurt and all I heard was a bunch of horrible grinding noises and then the blade stopped. This is never off my kitchen worktop, the chopping and grinding blades are perfect for all kind of jobs and the cups it comes with are just the right size for making sauces, choping up herbs and garlic for cooking.

The unit is very small, really easy to wash, comes with lots of cups so no fear if they ever get broken. However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional guides and dietary or allergy advice may occasionally change. I have been using it for almost 2 years now- mainly for milkshakes and smoothies but also for grinding nuts and spices- and this blender does a great job. I should add its so easy to clean and the large number of cups etc mean if you are making a number of items, you can keep the already made items in the container you just blended/chopped them in.This product brings such advantages in food preparation that the quality of mealtimes and occasional treats during the day has improved no end. Also it doesn't seem to like fruit skins, for example apple ones, and struggles to slice through those. I have it only 6 weeks and have used it about 25-30 times probably, but always with liquid, nothing hard. Yes, it is cheap plastic; yes the motor is noisy and gives off a faint burning smell if used for too long gone (so I suspect it will burn out fairly easily if you aren’t careful); yes the session are a bit fragile; and yes, the juicer attachment is really hard to use and messy. I have used this for smoothies, coffee grinding, chia seeds plus various nuts chopping, cream whipping, ice grinding.

Sadly I am constantly checking whether the seal is still present before I drink anything - no blended rubber for me!

Firstly there are too many accessories that come with it, I have no need for all the cups, blender, juicer, lids etc, so they take up space at the back of my cupboards. Compact, lightweight and dishwasher-safe, with microwave-safe cups, it makes cooking quick and easy, and can peel, chop, grind, mix, blend and whip!
