Kenwood Kmix Jug Blender

This blender is amazing for the price, I bought it when it was on special and I'm very pleased with it.. Good sturdy build doesn't jump around when in use so you don't need to sit on it while it's blending, in its vibrant red looks good in your kitchen, the powerful 800w motor powers through everything with ease. I have had this blender for a couple of months now and I use it every day. I am a veggie who eats a lot of green smoothies which most blenders heave and moan trying to blend various veggies, but this zooms through the lot beautifully.. All in all I can't fault this product at all...

I already had the kmix stand mixer so this was bought to match, worried at first due to prior poor reviews but I'm very pleased with it. It is heavy, the jug is solid glass and so much heavier than a plastic alternative would be, and for the same reason it cannot take hot liquids but as I bought it primarily for smoothies this hasn't been an issue. I haven't had any of huge problems with leaking or sticking lids that others have reported either. It looks fabulous, very retro and a stunning colour. Overall an excellent buy.

I would have given this 5 stars if it wasn't for the clumsy way you have to dismantle the lid to clean it. Maybe I've got one that's particularly difficult and hopefully it will loosen as it gets used but at the moment it's a real pain trying to get the rubber seal from the lid, especially when it's got food all over it. Other than that it's a brilliant blender, simple to use and blends really well. Strong construction and one hopefully that will last for years. Expensive but then I've bought ones that have been far cheaper that have either fallen apart within a few months or don't do what they say they can do. Would definitely buy this again but lid assembly could do with a redesign.

Based on previous reviews, I decided to go for this as it seemed one of the best blenders out there. I was looking for something efficient, that would look good and last a long time. Well, this certainly looks good in the kitchen but it can't handle very simple things, such as smoothies. Bananas are never properly blended, let alone frozen fruits, no matter how long you blitz them, and it doesn't do too well on soups either. I don't know how long it will last, given that I bought it only a few months ago, but I am rather disappointed with it, so do think again before you buy it.

Brilliant gadget. I read all the reviews about liquidisers and juicers and decided to go for this. I wanted something that would do lots and save me time as I was starting on the 5:2 fast diet. Juicing is fine in the summer however living in Scotland I prefer soup. I liquidise veggies and fruits and then cook them into soups and purees which saves time and effort as I only need to peel the thickest skins. I can also use the ice crusher setting for frozen fruit and veg when making a smoothy and dips are a dawdle too. Easy to clean as it comes apart easily and being glass I feel it is more hygienic than plastic. The jug and lid are also robust enough to be dish washed or steam cleaned.
