What a great machine. Having fallen for the healthy tasty smoothie breakfast craze I decided to invest in a smoothie maker to make my own at home and save money, I looked around and could not find better value than the Russell Hobbs. Firstly I have to question the other reviewers that said this smoothie maker leaks alot, there may have been a faulty batch or something but I do know from experience that if you do not assemble the parts in the correct order and ensure they are tight it may leak and badly. That said when you put it together correctly (which isnt at all difficult) mine has never leaked. Though I am not saying for fact the other reviewers put it together wrong its a strong possibility.
In terms of functionality the machine is brilliant tearing through ice and frozen fruit with no trouble, another added benefit is the ease of cleaning and assembly. The machine has a large capacity and what I tend to do is make a large amount of smoothie and freeze some for a later day. All in all a great value smoothie maker buy one and enjoy.
brilliant product - recommend Sent: 04 January 2008
I just painstakingly typed a review and Amazon managed to lose it :-) but I will try again! Received this smoothie maker today and very impressed so far. Seems well made and has very clear plain English instructions with even a touch of humour! Other people have commented on size of machine and it is bigger than you might expect, but that is probably accounted for by need for robust motor unit and it does have large capacity jug. If you use small quantities (as in some of the recipes supplied) the stir stick is redundant as it does not reach the bottom of the jug but I shall just make larger quantities in future! Agree that you need to pulse the motor when using the tap (as they tell you to do)but that works very well. Will also use as a blender for soups etc as seems much better than the one supplied with my ancient Kenwood Chef. So far so brilliant - hope I will continue to have enough enthusiasm to clean it (which by the way is not particularly difficult, I'm just lazy!)
