Fitting five-a-day into your diet can be a challenge, but whipping up fruit smoothies and veg-heavy soups in a blender makes the task much easier. Many modern models boast decathlete levels of versatility – they can chop, puree, grind and more, allowing you to get impressively creative in the kitchen. Which blender should I buy? The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Blenders and smoothie makers category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Russell Hobbs. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Russell Hobbs branded products in the Blenders and smoothie makers category.

Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Blenders and smoothie makers category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. So let’s carry on with our Russell Hobbs 25960 Go Create 1.5L Jug Blender review and explore the product’s pricing.

Functions: Some blenders come with a grinding attachment for reducing coffee beans, nuts, herbs and spices to a fine powder. Others feature special settings for crushing ice – a task that can damage models with weaker blades. In general, the fancier the functions, the pricier the blender, so consider which ones you’ll actually use before parting with your cash. Pros: Cable automatically rewinds when unplugged; built-in scales; blender included Cons: Ample storage space needed to house extras At 10.4kg, the Kenwood Chef XL is only slightly lighter in weight than the KitchenAid model. You’ll also need a decent amount of space to house it on the worktop extras and storage for the extras included in the box. You also have the option to add to the base design with up to 20 attachments for tasks such as blending, cutting pasta and mincing meat.

The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Russell Hobbs is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Blenders and smoothie makers category.Another plus is the well-positioned feed chute on the pouring shield. It’s placed ergonomically at the front of the machine, so it was easy to use and minimised spillages while we were adding ingredients. It’s recommended you don’t go over speed two when mixing dough to avoid causing damage to the machine, and while this took a little longer than anticipated, we found the results satisfactory.
