The usable range is a claimed 700-20,000rpm and the motor is rated at 1,300 Watts.Īs such, it can do anything from blade-assisted stirring to full-on puréeing and milling of spices, flour, sugar etc. That's both useful for you and just as well, considering the high velocity at which it can blend. This is, naturally, harder to clean than the norm, although hardly nightmarish. The only slight down side to this is that a chute has had to be cut into the lid to add ingredients as you blend.

Once safely housed in the body of the blender – this does require a fairly forceful and manly shove – the Artisan Magnetic Drive also has an absolutely impregnable lid, through which nothing can escape. As a result you can dishwasher it safely. 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.

We have recommendations for the best blender at as many price points as possible, from budget to "Oh my god, how can a blender cost that much?" The following list starts with our favourite mid-price, budget and premium blenders. 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.

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. Blenders differ from juice extractors in one significant way.
