I’m looking for a blender that will handle seeds and tough greens well so I don’t get surprised by unpleasant chunks in my smoothies (“lumpies”!).

I’ve been making-do with a small blender that makes drinkable smoothies but, even although I can drink them, they cannot really be called ‘smoothies’ and cannot be consumed with a straw. That said, they do have a very satisfying mouth-feel…

Anyway, I’m ready to move up a step. However, I’m not prepared to spend $450 on a Vitamix, even with its 7-year warranty and even although it wins hands down in all the tests – at least, not yet.

This report from America’s Test Kitchen helped me find one for less than half the price – and then it was on offer, so even less. Yay!

Here’s what America’s Test Kitchen had to say …

… we’ve made more than 400 smoothies in a single copy of the blender, choosing a motor-challenging combination of juice, chunks of frozen fruit, and raw kale … [and it] is still going strong …

On the Next Page you’ll see the video review of the blender testing …
