Russell Hobbs 24722 Desire Jug Blender, 1.5 Litre Smoothie Maker and Soup Liquidiser, Matte Black, 650 W

Product Information

Some models also have a pulse setting, which is best for controlled blending - for example, when you want to chop a batch of vegetables without reducing them to soup. Glass is generally sturdier and less likely to get scratched. Most glass jugs and some of the tougher plastic ones are also dishwasher-safe. We also tested them by making a super berry smoothie with frozen fruits to determine the overall quality and effectiveness of the blender with icy lumps and its all-important blade. Tomato sauce has the ability to stain containers so we also assessed each blender on how easily we could clean away those red stains and lingering smells.

Jug lids - Many have a strainer built into the lid to filter out any lumps when pouring. Some have a removable cap in the centre of the lid that allows you to add ingredients while it's blending. Energy efficiency - Wattage is important, although a higher wattage doesn't necessarily mean a better machine. If you're looking for one to do intensive tasks like crushing ice or grinding coffee beans, however, it’s worth plumping for a more powerful machine with at least 1100W.

Customer reviews

Sturdy glass jug blenders tend to be able to withstand longer continuous running times than blenders with plastic jugs.

Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property. Please be aware that we currently cannot arrange for delivery of this product to the following postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, BT, PO30-41. Stainless Steel Blades– High quality blades with serrated edges to provide you with the smoothest blend. Maintenance - For easy cleaning, look for one with a removable blade unit that's also dishwasher-safe. If the blade isn't removable, or the jug isn't dishwasher-safe, you can clean most by half filling the jug with warm water along with a drop of washing up liquid, then turning it on using a low setting.Grinding blade - Some models have a separate grinding blade (or mill) attachment for grinding ingredients such as coffee beans, nuts and herbs, that regular blades generally can’t handle. Firstly, it makes sense that the more you’ll use it, the more of an investment it’s worth. So if you’ll be employing its service on the regular, don’t be put off by a slighly higher price tag –think about the cost per use to get the best value. The more costly models often have the more powerful and robust motors.

The jug: How heavy and durable was the jug? Was it shatter-resistant? Plastic or glass? If plastic, was it BPA-free? Jugs - Some models have thermo-resistant glass jugs for blending hot liquids, while others use BPA-free plastic. Although some will recommend you don't add ingredients that exceed 40C.Food processors take things even further; they boast sharper blades than blenders, meaning that as well as completing everything from pureeing to crushing ice, they are also adept at chopping finely and maintaining more texture. You’ll need this if you fancy trying your hand at pesto, for example. What's more, this jug blender comes complete with non–slip feet added for stability and to prevent any trips, a cord storage to minimise cord clutter on your countertops and can be cleaned easier after every use.
