Last summer, in the middle of milkshake season, our blender packed up. Well, I say it packed up, but what I think happened was a too-large lump of Haagen-Dazs broke the blades (it's very tasty ice cream, but it comes out of the freezer ridiculously solid). It was time for a new blender. Despite the fact that it is a piece of kitchen equipment that we use a lot, for milkshakes in summer and soup in winter, it didn't occur to me that spending a bit more to get a higher quality model would be sensible. No, I decided to be thrifty and buy the Argos Value Liquidiser. Currently priced at £9.99, which is what I paid last summer, the Argos Value Liquidiser is very ...  Read the complete review

A couple of weeks ago I bought this Liquidizer. I call it a blender. I bought it because I had been to this Milkshake place the day before called Eskimoo is Lincoln and the milks shakes are so nice that me and my boyfriend wanted to make our own. We had watched the people make them at Eskimoo and thought we would give it a try. So we went to Argos and bought the cheapest one they had, it was £10.99. To say it was the cheapest one the stats looked pretty good. All the ones that were around £20 didn't have as high wattage. The other ones were about 400 watts and this cheap one was 500. So I thought that sounds good. Also the capacity of the jug is 1.5 litres, ...  Read the complete review

This is very much an entry level liquidiser and at a mere £9.99 who can argue. It is clunky, bulky and utterly void of any ergonomic grace. It's design and build is sturdy but basic. It has a blocky white plastic base ornamented about 8 inches in height with only an over sized and rudimentary operational dial that is used to control the machine. The container itself around twice the height again and is a clear plastic narrow inverted bell jar at the bottom of which is house the blade made of four triangular blades forming a star shape. The handle has little in the way of curvature for comfort and is made of the same ugly plastic as the rest of the container. ...  Read the complete review

When I moved into my new flat I had a number of items I needed to purchase. One of those items was a blender. From the blender I just wanted something that was cheap, reliable and essentially blend. I nipped down to Argos to see what that had to offer. This is when I came across the "Argos Range Liquidiser". What attracted me was its price of just £10.99 and having bought items from the Argos Range before I knew it would not be too shabby. The next step up of blenders was to £20 - £25 which I thought was a little excessive. The blender is 500 watts with three blades inside and makes light work of soft fruit or veg (for harder vegetables I ...  Read the complete review

Another cheap appliance that has been a lifesaver for college is a blender, purchased for £9.99 a few weeks ago at argos. My first impression was the wear and tear on the product, anything purchased from the argos value range always seems to look a bit rough and ready, It's not something that would bother me but I would stay well clear of it if you are a perfectionist. The white colour however is something that always seems to bother me by looking so cheap and tacky, luckily it's hidden away in my cupboard most of the time. It's very simple to put together and was up and running in five minutes. The size is fairly small, but the whole thing is quite ...  Read the complete review
