I am a big fan of these blenders and I am very pleased to have bought this version of it. For our needs it has been perfect. The big 2l jar is excellent but keep in mind it is not easy to add ingredients during a blend cycle. There is a spout with a limited opening. Not a huge issue. The multiple blade design gives an excellent blend. Drinks have more flavour than a single bottom blade we think because more air gets into the blend. Mincing and chopping are excellent. Also we did a few recipes from the included booklet and were surprised how good they were, especially the meatballs! This thing is not cheap, not small and you need to find a place to store all the included bits. Bit in our crowded and busy house, it was worth the effort and has fit the bill perfectly.

Owner stated blender was not new but everything worked. The 'smoothie' mode gives an err message each time we try to use it. Since our main reason for buying it was to make smoothies and 'snow', we were disappointed that the 'Smoothie' mode did not work. There was a corner chipped off but it had no effect on the machine itself.

Disclaimer: I received this blender in exchange for my honest review. Appearance: The BL642 blender arrived neatly packaged, the box contains: base unit, 2.1LTR pitcher and blade, 900ml cup, 650ml cup, 500ml cup, travel lids and cup blender blades, instruction manual and recipe booklet. This particular model is quite large, however, it does fit in my little cottage kitchen so unless you have zero side space left this shouldn't be an issue unless you don't like clutter in which case it might be. Each component is sleek, stylish and sturdy. The buttons are easy to read and easy to press, there is an LED display which looks quite attractive and modern when lit. Functionality: Prior to receiving this blender I had been using the 900w Nutri Ninja alongside an 100w hand blender from a leading brand, this blender has rendered these two items almost useless (if it was able to blend hot ingredients then they would be completely useless!). When you attach the pitcher or the cup with the appropriate blade, the options available for that particular blade will light up on the base unit meaning there is very little chance you can break it through error (good for those of us who get a bit carried away in the kitchen!). The handbook provided tells you which settings to use, e.g. use the puree setting for soups and sauces; use the auto IQ blend setting for juices. The blender has a lock safety function, meaning that it wont fire up unless you have locked the cup or pitcher in correctly which is an excellent feature. So far I have used this blender to make: soups, curry sauces, cake batters, bread dough, chocolate mousse, cocktails, juices and protein smoothies. Initially I was unsure about the auto IQ option, I thought it was just a gimick. Having used the auto IQ options for a variety of sauces, soups and drinks I can say I have been suitably impressed by these options! Everything I have made, even my curry sauce which I thought was already quite accomplished, comes out the perfect consistency. The blender takes ice, nuts, spices, powders/flours, hard fruits and veg in its stride; nothing has turned up lumpy or proved too difficult for the blender to handle. This is due to the 1500w motor and the super sharp blades. As far as blenders go, this is the best one I have ever had the pleasure of using. Maintenance and care: The components are a dream to wash, just run them under the tap immediately after using. I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe so I do a follow up wash in a sink of hot soapy water. The base unit is easily kept clean with a damp cloth or anti-bac wipe. The components are also dishwasher safe for those of you privy to such luxury. Cons: Whilst this is an impressive bit of kit, it does have a few cons as would be expected. The most notable would be the noise it creates, this thing is LOUD. However I do believe this is due to its powerful motor which is so powerful I have to hold the base unit still as it tends to travel across my kitchen side, another potential downside. As someone with a small kitchen I do find the machine somewhat cumbersome and all the various parts take up space, some kind of "stackability" would improve the experience. The inability to use hot ingredients is a drawback when pushed for time although not a deal breaker for me personally. Overall I am absolutely thrilled with this machine, I can't imagine life without it. I use it every single day.Read full review

I have to say that when I ordered this, I did not expect it to be quite as good as it is. It is easy to move with the release suckers on the feet, I have not tried all of the things that this machine is capable of, but I can say that the smoothie operation works a treat. Its really easy to clean, just have to be a little careful with the blade, as it is sharp.... but the warnings are there if you read them. There are good sized containers that comes with this, and you can get loads in the big jug! I have never had an all singing dancing blending machine like this before, I hope this machine lives forever, but when the time comes and I need to replace it (and I hope it will go on for a long time yet, specially as I have just got it) I will without a doubt try to get a replacement the same as this. On the print out it said to allow 5 days for the delivery, in fairness it was a Bank Holiday weekend, I was totally shocked when Parcel Force delivered the next morning!! Get this, I don't think that anyone will be disappointed!!!Read full review

Besides the above; easy to clean and easy to use it is also a great blender that has the power to crush ice, nuts etc.
