At the beginning of the year I went on a healthy eating drive like most people after an indulgent family Christmas. It was not a diet just trying to eat more fruit and vegetables and less crisps and chocolates. Hence I asked for a smoothie maker from Santa and started using it once all the Christmas choccys had gone. PACKAGING AND PIECES On unpacking after washing all the parts I realised just how much space this item was going to take up in my kitchen. It is very tall and did not fit in the cupboard I was hoping to keep it in. So word of warning really think about where you will keep this if you brought one, note if its a lot of hassle to ...  Read the complete review

I was given this smoothie maker as a gift around seven months ago, and it is currently sat in my wheelie bin, and has been the biggest disappointment to me. I have smoothies for my brakfast every day, so wanted something easy to use (I did find it to be easy - there is a slow, fast and pulse button, very simple to use); easy to clean (not really, as none of the parts are dishwasher safe, so had to swill out the jug, then dismantle all the pieces, then wash then - it was a pain) and easy to store (well this depends on the individual - it is quite large but then it looks nice on the worktop so it doesn't really matter). Around 5 months ago (ie ...  Read the complete review

My girlfriend decided about 18 months ago on another one of her diet fads that she wanted to start having Fruit Smoothies for Breakfast. She had been buying the bottled stuff from the Supermarket which was starting to add up and at about £60 for the Kenwood Smoothie Maker we thought we would soon make our money back. I also like Smoothies so thought it seemed a good idea to buy one. We have a lot of unused unit space in our kitchen so decided to keep it on display as the colour matched the rest of our kitchen appliances. If you are short on space do note that it is a fairly big unit. The base is silver the blender part is clear plastic with a black nozzle ...  Read the complete review

My mum bought me one of these smoothie makers for Christmas just gone after I had asked her for one with the intention of starting with a healthy diet in the new year and making nice fruit smoothies to fit in with said diet. Ok, so its now April and I have not managed to summon up the will power to stick to a healthy diet yet (all I want to do is sit around and eat in the cold winter!) but I have used the smoothie maker. It comes with a little recipe book which gives you some ideas on combinations etc and in here I found they talked about used ice. I love those ice blended drinks that you can buy in Starbucks and Cafe Nero etc in the summer so thought I ...  Read the complete review
