I've been looking to replace my old blender for weeks now . I was somehow uncertain looking at the multitude of smoothie-blenders out there but after prioritising certain factors i ve bought this instead .I chose this one based on :-low noise when blending( check)-good reliable motor wattage(check)-fast blending(check)-easy to use (check )-easy to wash (ckeck)-easy to store (check)-Bargain price!(double check on that one )-spareparts availible for purchase(check)As i m doing mostly smoothies , handfull of spinach leafes and 1 ripe banana ,water and blend .Surprised at the very low noise wich means i can use it in the morning before going out for a run without creeping out my neighbours ..The price is right,

I love this blender! I have been using it most days for the past month to make smoothies out of leafy greens, apple, banana, and frozen fruits, and I am completely happy with it. The blending power is not quite as good as the Magic Bullet but this can be overcome with a slightly longer blending time.-- I have paid particular attention to the problems that were mentioned in a few reviews, such as the seal on the blade coming loose and the lid cap being too hard to open, but I have had no problems with either of these. The cap is firm, but all it needs is some gentle leverage with your thumb and it opens fine. It can also snap open to keep it out of the way when drinking.

This is such a handy little blender and you can really do so much with it. I personally prefer using it to make smoothies and drinks however I know people that make all sorts!I have seen online that someone even uses this to 'whisk' eggs and milk together for a quick, fuss free way of making scrambled eggs.In regards to smoothies, I find that it's best not to put too much fruit in here, otherwise it gets a bit stuck at the top and can't blend properly.This really is the most simple blender out there, you just put your chosen items inside, screw on the blade cap, insert the bottle upside down with the blade connector at the bottom into the main unit, twist into the lock position and hold down the blend button.

Having read that the Breville Blend Active comes with two bottles, I was initially disappointed with the purchase as I had intended for my mother and I. Looking around for a spare bottle is also not a great feeling either because a majority of them are overpriced. I would have preferred that this was made clear, if product changes were made since 2018 (refer to previous review).In terms of the blender itself, the power is quite evidently what I was after. The speed with which the fruits (with almond yogurt) blended to a smooth texture was promising, as I have a busy schedule and needed a powerful and fast blender. This is just it!The bottle is designed in a way that makes holding and sipping from it a comfortable and firm feeling.

I recently purchased this product because I drink protein shakes after my gym sessions and every time I find myself having massive lumps in my drink even after trying my best to shake them out. since I bought this very value for money blender it has been so much easier as the blending power is very good for me and makes a nice enjoyable drink as I have also tested with iced alcoholic smoothies and produces a seamless liquid. having the blade and bottles dish washable makes it that much easier for you. to add on having two different bottles in this product is outstanding since you'll regularly buy a blender which you have to poor into a glass and create more washing up.

This product is brilliant for the price i really can't complain, compared to my £90 juicer that was a nightmare to clean this product is so simple easy and hassle free. You just pop your ingredients for your desired juice or shake into the bottles provided, attach to blender piece and then its as simple as just pressing a button. What i loved most about this product there is no hassle in cleaning at all, its simply just washing bottles provided and one small blender piece. It a small piece that wont take up space in your kitchen, can easily be packed away and set up again for next use. Reason for giving 4 stars and not 5 is that after one year of using this product one of the bottles have started to leak but this isn't a major issue as it only leaks when drinking from the bottle,

I was looking for a good quality and comvenient blender to replace my trusted 5 year old blender that was on its last legs.I spent a while looking into the differences between nutribullet, vitamix and other competing blenders. I blend a lot, sometimes up to 5 times a day, so having to wash the blender at the end of each session can get tedious. Being able to add the ingredients to the drinking recepticle, turn it over and blend in it, was incredibly handy. Less washing up and on-the-go smoothie drinking!The blender itself can be a little noisy for the first few seconds, but, the ingredients always drop nicely to be blended.

I like this blender for sure. Its great for my protein shakes and fruit shakes. I get a little nervous when blending hard things, but so far i haven't had a problem. You do have to hold the blend button down when blending but that hasn't been much of a problem. Also, because the cups that come with it are the blender, and they are tall, it can be a little tricky to clean them, but by a little tricky i mean not that tricky. I just stuff my sponge in it and move it with a fork and then pull it out again. Honestly, this is a great value for money and I have had absolutely no problems with it. I would buy it again. Im only taking a star off because it doesn't feel SUPER powerful (not that i need it to be super powerful at the moment)

Blender is quick and ideal for on the go situations. This is my second purchase over the past 8 years.I the blender/ bottle design makes the process so much more simple and less time consumingOnly fault i was say is that the bottle is long and is hard to clean the bottom unless you had a long bottle washing up brush, especially if you tend to put your protein powder before water!Also due to the slim bottle design, some fruits you will have to cut up into smaller pieces OR you can stick to frozen fruit which tend to be cut up for youPower is not overly powerful compared to other models but does the trick with reasonable amount of ingredients.If you are using for bulk amounts or using very solid

I was silly to buy those silly portable chinese ones. I was duped by the Instagram advert and bought two of those and my God!! How silly i felt after trying to blend a cucumber! Returned and promised myself never to buy any thing outside known brands.So i bought this!This does the work! Makes perfect green smoothie fir me. The blender is not that powerful to blend a solid piece of ginger or turmeric, so i have to chop them. I also blend frozen fruits and it cones out perfect.I can now take smoothie to my work and it doesn't spill.Cleaning is very simple. You do not need to take out the rubber gasket to clean it, food does not go underneath.

Can't believe how good this is. I got this for £19.99 and next day delivery with Prime. I was expecting it to be a bit flimsy and not really up to the job as it was so cheap but it was anything but. It's made from quality materials; feels robust and makes light work of blending fruits and leafy greens into a lovely smoothie.I really can't see the point of spending 90 odd quid on a fashionable 'Nutri Bullet' when this does exactly the same thing and produces the same results.This is so simple to use and cleaning it is equally easy. The two juice bottles it comes with are really good quality too. The blade is 'proper'

Bought this as I gave away my older Breville Blend to a family member it was the basic model, I thought I would see what this was one like, it not exactly cheap, but the motor has enough power to have dealt with all the jobs we thrown its way, my wife loves the little nut grinder, I like the large grinder as often make sauces, the newer bottle cap design is a improvement over older models so the lid no longer closes on your nose as you take a drink. This has now almost become a daily use. Having order the basic model and previously owned a nutri-bullet (not impressed!) I been impressed by this little device.Only issue I have is the larger grinder can be difficult to lock in place and open but

I was a little unsure about this product, because it seemed so cheap compared to others, but I decided to give it a go based on previous reviews. So glad I did - it’s amazing! Compact enough to have out all the time and everything is blended in the bottles, so no jugs with sharp blades at the base to wash out too, saving a lot of time and hassle. It’s so powerful, it will blend within two to three pulses. Today my breakfast smoothie was oats, almond milk, a spoonful of almond butter, cinnamon and a couple of dates, which are notorious enemies to the blender and in less than 6 seconds it was perfectly smooth! Highly recommended for anyone who just wants a quick, no fuss way to blend and go!

Great convenient, value for money blender:Pro's:*Easy to store*BPA free plastic bottles*Easy to clean and dry bottles*Blends frozen fruit easily*Doesn't take up any room on the work top*Its simple to use and connect, which makes you want to use it. No messing connecting and finding all the parts.*I like the fact that you have to stand and push the button. This saves electric and doesn't allow you to demolish the fruit, which will lose a lot of the nutrition.Cons:*I would have preferred the option to buy glass bottles. I would have made extra for a glass bottle version.*The blender attachment seems to hold an odd smell, hoping this goes with use.

If you like fruit smoothies or soups, this is a fantastic little kitchen device. Easy to use and easy to clean. Doesn't occupy too much space on kitchen top. It can blend fruit of different hardness, including skin. It also comes with two bottles.A word of advice: I made banana strawberry smoothies and left them in the fridge overnight, but they deteriorated (turned brown and lost the original taste). Perhaps it's only the combination of these two fruits that does this, but I would recommend drinking smoothies as soon as you make them, or the latest within several hours of making them. Soups made of vegetables, on the other hand, stay fresh much longer.
