Kenwood Abs Body Sb266 1.5-L 500-Watt Smoothie Maker, White

I wanted a product esp for crushing ice cubes and blending smoothie well... So this does the job perfect, I use to cursh ice using jars of usual mixer grinder, and one fine day the blade of the jar came off, so i got this too add lots of ice to my smoothie... Great product, and the best part is cleaning it.... all parts are detachable and very simple to clean, unlike my previous juicer, where i had to put lot of efforts to clean it.... Infact i tried it for grindig chutteny and daal too it can be done, but then, its very liquid....So now i use it only for smoothies...

the blender has a powerful machine. this product is an absolute cracker, loved it. looking forward for more products from Amazon.

Good

Superb. Very pleased with it. Thanks.

Worst product. Don't buy this product

Nice product

In looks the product is too good, but in operations i found it highly unreliable. The product went faulty on its second day of operations and motor stopped responding.

Bad quality. On button not working when I got it. Jar having cracks

A fine acting piece of kitchen utensil hardware that performs duties well to provide a blend ability that Kenwood will be known for. Recipient they were happy thank you.

Amazing performance

I think this is a great smoothie maker. People have stated that it's blades are not capable of blending solids. That's not my experience. This machine can easily disintegrate ice, nuts and chocolate. I had no problems in terms of solids but I used it to make smoothies, which was sort of the point of the product! Perhaps if people are trying to blend large foodstuffs it can be difficult. The tap is really useful and the whole jug is very easy to clean. The only difficulty I had was storing the jug in the fridge. But the tap is detachable which is useful.

I have had various blenders over the years for making smoothies. I have had two Magic Bullets and two Hinari blenders, as well as the Kenwood one that came with my food processor. The first Bullet just packed up after a couple of years and then its replacement failed as the knobs came off the cups so it was unusable. Bought the Hinari and then it got stuck with the liquid in it and had to be returned like that. The replacement was not satisfactory and the cups kept getting stuck. I ordered this one as a last resort but it is brilliant. Doesn't take up much room on the work top and has two speeds which are more than adequate. The tap is great and if it does get a bit stuck, I just pulse it on the slow speed and it empties. Only disappointment is that it has to be handwashed but it is a minor niggle, doesn't take a minute to wash it out if you do it straightaway. Good purchase and I am very pleased with it although I have only had it a few days.

It's bigger than I expected, but boy does it work! First time buying a smoothie maker and delighted with the results. I buy bags of mixed frozen fruit from our local Dobbies food hall - it's a mix of things like melon, grapes, strawberries, peaches etc and mix it with apple juice. The result is like a slush puppy. The spout is useless for that as I love the smoothie to be really thick and slushy but I just spoon it out of the jug into a mason jar. I might try adding a splash of alcohol to it to see if it comes out a bit like those frozen cocktails you can get.
