it's great. really happy with this purchase. Just don't try to do mash potato with a blender - you'll end up with a potato soup instead.

Utterly brilliant product. I've never been a particularly good chef, and I don't have enough free time at the moment to get any better. So when a friend told me about this product it seemed a good fit for me. Especially as my smoothie maker recently broke, so was already on the hunt for a blender. So far, I've made a few different soups. All have been very tasty, but it's the ease of prep that makes the difference for me, you just roughly chop the ingredients, throw it into the machine and press Smooth Soup, Chunky Soup, etc. It cooks and blends it perfectly, while I'm free to go and do other things. It's great. Same with smoothies. It times the blending "bursts" so that all ingredients have fallen to the bottom of the pot, they come out perfect each time. I haven't tried deserts yet, but will give that a go soon. The only negative is you can't put the pot in the dishwasher (for obvious reasons as it's got heating elements in it) so you should clean it straight after each meal/drink/sauce etc. It's a small issue, but genuinely the only one I can think of. Great product, would thoroughly recommend.

Brilliant bit of kit, the cleaning of jug can be a bit daunting, it's a little heavy, it doesn't stop me making very tasty soup and ice-cream. Would recommend it to anyone.

Really simple to use. I love the sauté feature and the clean programme is good at getting the blades clean. The jug is quite heavy though.

The soup maker was perfect for all kinds of soup. It's very very heavy once full. This soup maker causes an elderly lady problems. She likes the ease of buttons and instructs.

Great product as you can make and blend soup with one machine. Saves a lot of time and washing up. Would recommend for anyone.

Makes everything so simple to make. Made several soups but early days yet. Lots to learn to see what this thing can actually do!

Excellent - does exactly what it says it does. Loses a star because it's very noisy
