Redefining the blender, this (originally) very high-priced, high-gloss, tech-packed machine uses powerful magnets to turn blades sealed into the base of the jug. As far as I can see, it's the same blender as this, at the same price of £279, but it comes in a more limited range of colours. Curiously, John Lewis sells something called the KitchenAid Artisan K4. There's no better blender to buy right now, and it comes in a range of 11 colours, from understated to eye-popping. With thicker mixtures you may need to whip out the spatula – or add a little more liquid – now and then, but I have never encountered a blender where that wasn't the case. It can pull off nut butters and turn kale into a pretty successful smoothie, for instance. It is also rather heavy, since it's thick glass, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to drop it onto a concrete floor, but in terms of looks and easy care it's great.įor 9 out of 10 things you want to do with a blender, the K400 is easily powerful enough. The glass jar shouldn't stain or discolour as much as a BPA one and it's also dishwasher proof. However, do not use the self-cleaning cycle without putting your hand on top, as washing up liquid being spun in water by a 1.5 horsepower engine does tend to foam up quite alarmingly.
The basics are all well handled – the lid fits well, and can be left while things blend. The KitchenAid Artisan K400 has a look that is timeless rather than retro, and for most people it is going to be big enough and powerful enough for anything they want to do.
Admittedly that's quite pricey compared to, say, a Nutribullet, but you get what you pay for. They tend to be rather expensive as a result, but with the Artisan K400, KitchenAid has brought the price down to under £300. KitchenAid makes some of the best blenders on the market – stylish, power-packed and highly desirable. The downside is that juice extractors are a pain in the arse to clean and invariably large in height and width.īlenders, on the other hand, simply liquidise the whole lot into one thick fruity concoction of both juice and fibre-rich pulp. This is equally good for the digestive system, but rather more filling, and you might find it repeats on you, especially if you’ve walloped down a glassful in one go. The absence of roughage also allows the digestive system to absorb nutrients more effectively.
#BEST BLENDER FOR SMOOTHIES FULL#
Juicers mash or grind up the fruit using centrifugal or slow masticating forces to extract the juice, the whole juice and nothing but the juice. This system allows you to consume large volumes of fruit and veg sustenance without feeling full and bloated. Some can even heat soups as well as producing them.īlenders differ from juice extractors in one significant way. If you want to make breadcrumbs, whip up sauces and, with some models, produce dough, blenders can do it. Blenders are often bought to make smoothies or soup but they are much more versatile than that.
