Review Summary: great stuff
 
Review Content: Great machine. Bought as a present for someone who was more than particular about what a smoothie maker should do like juice... dance, sing etc... Spent hours looking at comments from others and ended getting this but was more than worried it would be a flop event though it had good reviews...

Turns out reviews were spot on! The feedback from this end is glowing and goes as such:

1) Really easy to use
2) Very easy to clean compared to the last "jug" one we had
3) Quiet when smoothie-ing
4) Small and compact
5) Super easy to assess portions sizes as you drink from the cup you make it in
6) No fuss or faffing - fruit in, blast and go!

Very impressed generally even though it doesnt juice, dance or sing...

Review Summary: Absolutely recommendable
 
Review Content: Fantastic equipment for enjoying smoothie life!

My diet is raw vegan & macrobiotic, which I have practiced for all of my life since I was born. To be honest, I am strict, prudent and cautious to select everything related my diet.

Before finding this on this web site, I was searching for smoothie machines very much, which could satisfy me.
Eventually easy treatment such as washing and keeping in a small place in the kitchen is a decisive factor to have bought it.

My decision was right. I have been able to enjoy smoothie easily almost every day while I am spending in quite tight schedule.

I hope more people enjoy smoothie diet in this wonderful machine.

Review Summary: Great little machine
 
Review Content: What a great idea from Kenwood! I love this machine! I have had a few smoothie machines and found them heavy, hard to dismantle and clean etc etc. This one is so easy to use, just stick your ingredients in the jug, stick the blade on and wizz, then put the leak proof lid on and go! So simple. I find I need to take it off the base sometimes, give it a quick shake and wizz again, just because if you use thick ingredients like yoghurt/ banana etc it sometimes needs a shake because the whole thing is upside down as it were, but this takes seconds as it is so easy to do! I'm thinking of getting a second one so that I can have four beakers (one for each member of the family) and then I can put the base away for when this one finally gives up! It's easy to clean, robust, and works well. It really is the best smoothie maker i've ever seen or used..............................Well, I am now writing this two months later! Although I loved this machine, the motor burnt out after six weeks and now it is no more! I dont think I can reduce the stars now, but it seems to be a common problem.

Review Summary: Smoothie Operator
 
Review Content: I never thought my first customer review would be about a smoothie maker, but I think you'll forgive me for thinking that no smoothie maker would ever be worth writing about.

This smoothie maker will not, of course, change your life. But it will make you forget all those horribly awkward previous incarnations that got used once every six months. You know the ones: dishwasher safe but too big to fit in the dishwasher; quickly became scummy around seals and spouts.

If you've always wanted to convince yourself that you live a healthy lifestyle by making smoothies in the morning (like me), this is the gadget for you.

Dead easy to use, dead easy to clean, won't break the bank.

And of course it's loud: it's a smoothie maker - it blends fruit with a super-fast-blade-thing. If you'd prefer to stare at your fruit and hope that it turns from solid to liquid, then I wish you the best of luck.
