Breville VBL214 Blend Active ColourMix Family Personal Blender, Smoothie Maker and Citrus Juicer with 4 Portable Blending Bottles, 300 W, Multi-Colour

Brilliant!This blender is the perfect size for making single portion smoothies. I regulary use seeds, nuts and frozen fruit and veg. It has good blending power for its size , just as good as my old (much higher priced) branded blender! Infact unlight old said blender this one never leaves lumps, always a smooth smoothie!I have a weakness in my hands and fingers and was worried when i saw i had to hold the button in, but it actually only needs a light touch so ot hasnt been a problem. Quieter then my previous blenders.The cups are tough, non spill and i live the varying sizes, meaning that i can make my daughter her own smoothie at the right size instead of wasting huge portions. Which was particulary important for me as i hate waste.I hand wash mine so not sure if the cups are dishwasher safe but so far non have marked , stained or worn after 5 months daily use. So i am a very happy customer!For anyone wanted a safe sensory acitivity for young babies throw some cheerios in, blend for 2 seconds and hey presto, baby safe, edible sand!

I absolutely love this! The smoothie and shakers/bottles are just perfect, really can’t fault either. The shaker/bottles even wash wonderfully in the dishwasher.We are forever buying then losing or experiencing leaking sports direct and other shakers. I really have gotten so fed up of not finding any shakers that actually seal the way they claim they do, or should. This was the biggest appeal and reason I purchased this smoothie maker. I have 4 children, two terms and two under 10s, so this came with perfect amount and sizes of shaker/bottles for me, in addition to actually being the colour they prefer. This in itself was massively relieving lol.So, the smoothie was easy to assemble, effortless to navigate around its usage, it’s all been so easy to clean and I genuinely have no complaints. I’d love for there to have been 5 bottles so I could have had one, so I’ll probably buy another machine just for the bonus of having more as well as a spare smoothie maker.My teens loved the recipes inside also! We’ve tried all of them so far and none have disappointed. I even made the iced coffee one and made up one with this scrumptious peanut butter powder from Tesco called “Peanut Hottie” that’s perfect for blending without the glupey texture of normal peanut butter. Goes beautifully with bananas and cinnamon...omg yum!

I'm disabled so struggled to hold down and turn bottle to lock into place. But I did manage to do it.Note: the blades/attachments do not leak. Running them under the tap means they are not sealed units and water will pass through as if leaking. Put water in the bottle add blade attachment and shake, the attachment doesn't leak. It's not faulty.The whipper really does whip, it looks like a little cheese grater, I thought this is never going to work, hey presto it does. Light and fluffy.Great for the family with 4 bottles and 4 lids included. Three attachments, blender blade, whipper and juicer.Sturdy, sticks to work surfaces, easy to use.You can use frozen berries and ice using the blender blade.A great little smoothy maker and the price is great too.

I use this to mix Huel, which is pretty gloopy when partially mixed with water. What I find is the blades don't mix close enough to the base of the container. This is not an issue with protein powders as they are lighter, but with thicker powders like Huel it can clump at the bottom and not get mixed. One other point on protein powders, don't mix it for too long as it mixes lots of air into your shake which leads to bloat and I guess... gas!!!Kids love it of milkshakes and smoothies, so overall a good product.

I love this little blender. It blends up smoothies and ice really well and can handle some thicker things like hummous with a bit of cajoling and extra liquid. The way you can just pop a lid on the container and take it off as a drinks bottle is great. I've had so many smoothies for breakfast since buying this blender. If you're wondering whether to get this model or a more expensive one, this one will do you fine. It doesn't do dry blending but that's not what it's for so buy something else if you're looking to make breadcrumbs or blitz nuts to pieces. After a year of constant use by two people the bottles have broken, although this might be partly due to me putting rather too chunky bits of frozen avocado in it. Either way I don't think that's bad considering how cheap it is and how much I put it through its paces. The only thing is that now I'm pretty disappointed the replacement bottles are over £10 each. It's cheaper to buy a whole new blender than replace two bottles, which is what I'll be doing.

This is brilliant for making smoothies on the go as it makes them directly into the drinks beaker, so less mess and less washing up. It does struggle a bit if your using frozen fruits and you put the all in at once, so best to add a few at a time and blitz. Ideal for making the night before so you can just grab and go in a morning. Great quality, looks good, easy to clean, easy to use and great value for money with the different blades and sizes of beakers you get with it 5* would highly recommend

This is amazing, easy to use and clean, great value with the four bottles (use the smaller ones for my son). Love the milkshake option too! Cannot recommend this enough! Haven't used the citrus fruit squeezed device yet, but for versatility, being easy to clean and sturdy bottles I give this 5/5. Awesome!
