Product Information

Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. It comes with a pair of specially-shaped sports bottles, so you can either have one with you and one ready for next time, or use both if you’re out and about with a partner. The bottles might be the ideal size for carrying around but their slender design means that any ingredients need to be cut down to size to fit through the opening. As this recipe included ice, we started on the Low setting to help mix the ingredients before turning up to High. Five stars will be better for early morning smoothies, when people are still sleeping, while one star will wake up the house.

The design of the silver base isn’t dissimilar from the Smoothie 2Go but much like the Sport 2Go’s elegantly tapered bottles, it’s sleeker and neater.We've just retested the classic Magimix Le Blender alongside newer big blenders such as the AEG Gourmet 7 Compact Jug Blender. Some blenders, sold between October 2014 and June 2015, may present a defect during their lifetime under particular high stress conditions.

There aren’t many recipes included but these do give examples of foods you can use to make smoothies.Sometimes cheaper blenders will have a shorter runtime - this can be 60 seconds or less - after which you'll need to rest the motor. To blend a smoothie, the blade unit screws onto a bottle and the whole lot locks onto the base unit with a clockwise motion. Be warned though, don't try to blend hot ingredients in your blender, the heat can cause pressure to build up, potentially harming not only the blender, but also you. If you own a BLEND-X PRO BLM800, type BLM80 only, please proceed through the following procedure to determine if you have a unit affected.

The Kenwood Smoothie 2GO SB056 has been around for a while now, preceding the Nutribullet craze, but remains popular.

The resulting smoothie had a good consistency but was a little too thick to drink through the bottle dispensing lid comfortably. It’s a little limited by power and some more inspiring recipes would be welcome, as would a brush to clean it properly by hand, but as a basic package it’s good value.
