BEST FOR ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMES MAGIMIX POWER BLENDER

TYPE Glass DIMENSIONS H40.5xw16.5xd16.5cm JUG SIZE 1.8ltr

POWER 1,300 watts

PRICE £200

Available in a choice of four classic finishes with five auto programmes (one is a self-cleaning setting), alongside four speeds, plus pulse for more control. The 1.8ltr glass jug is heavy even when empty so accurate pouring can be tricky, and there’s a maximum running time of a minute. Beyond this, there’s a lot to love – the jug splits apart for cleaning, it’s all dishwasher-safe, and you can blend fairly hot soup (up to 60C) so you don’t have to wait long after cooking. Its smoothie programme takes no more than 30 seconds for a beautifully consistent blend and it crushes ice into snow in seconds.

REASONS TO BUY Maximum power; compact design.

REASONS TO AVOID The heavy glass jug might put some off. RATING
