If you're a big fan of soup, only looking for a couple of bowls per use, would like to make it, heat it and blend it, this is probably the machine for you. I bought it as my partner is often very busy and finds it hard to prepare weekly lunches. Half an hour at night or in the morning and the soup is ready. Seems sturdy enough, but you can't throw water about it too much and you definitely can't submerge it, but you can still clear it out (easily) and put it on the self clean mode. The brushed chrome effect would be quite easily damaged, although you would need to hit it with something. Very easy to use - big buttons, soft touch and flashing lights and a small beep at the end when your soup is ready. Also, it is aesthetically pleasing which is good because it will probably be on your worktop most of the time.Read full review

Definitely quieter than a Ninja. Small capacity Good for two to three people. Needs thorough clean between batches or it won’t run. This can be difficult because it means emptying the soup maker, cleaning and restarting. Happy when it has worked well and hopefully I will get used to its quirks.

So easy to use, just chop up your veg, add stock, press 2 buttons and go and relax for 30 minutes. I've made soup twice a week since I've had it and I get such a buzz out of trying new soups. My favourite is leek and potato, it was really delicious. The self cleaning feature is great too, fill it will water and press easy clean and it will do the hard work although you'll still have a bit of left over stains to remove. The only way to improve on this soup maker would be to add a re-heat facility to it.

It's noisy in operation (e.g. during the blending process - I wrap a towel around it) but it's easy to use. It's effectively a blender and kettle all in one. Capacity is about 2 adult size portions. The 'keep warm' feature is useful as you can switch it on and return anytime after 25 mins and before 60 mins. It's not to be immersed in water so the dishwasher is out. The self cleaning feature isn't for getting it scrupulously clean. The free recipe book is well worth having. I'd rate it 4 stars out of 5.

I bought this soup maker as a gift for my partner, who does not have a lot of time to spare for making complex recipes. We tried it out together and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the soups it makes are as good as those I'm used to making from the same ingredients by traditional methods, but take up a fraction of the preparation time. The self-cleaning function is another bonus for reducing time and effort. I would certainly recommend this product.
