Russell Hobbs 25960 Go Create 1.5L Jug Blender - White

Product Information

Fitting five-a-day into your diet can be a challenge, but whipping up fruit smoothies and veg-heavy soups in a blender makes the task much easier. Many modern models boast decathlete levels of versatility – they can chop, puree, grind and more, allowing you to get impressively creative in the kitchen. Which blender should I buy? The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Russell Hobbs is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Blenders and smoothie makers category. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Russell Hobbs 25960 Go Create 1.5L Jug Blender vs other products in the Blenders and smoothie makers category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. To find the best hand mixers on the market, the Good Housekeeping Institute has assessed the performance of a range of leading models across a variety of recipes, from a heavy batter to light cream.

If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. Similar to other stand mixers in our test, the Smeg can be added to with a range of accessories such as a slice and grater, ravioli cutter, multi-food grinder and pasta and spaghetti cutters. Another plus is the well-positioned feed chute on the pouring shield. It’s placed ergonomically at the front of the machine, so it was easy to use and minimised spillages while we were adding ingredients. It’s recommended you don’t go over speed two when mixing dough to avoid causing damage to the machine, and while this took a little longer than anticipated, we found the results satisfactory. Speed settings: Most blenders will have two or more speed settings, giving you greater control while blending. Some, such as the Vitamix E310, go well beyond this with as many as 10 options. Higher speeds are better for liquifying ingredients, while slower settings are best for chopping and grinding. A pulse setting is handy if you’re looking to lop fruit and veg down to size for a chunky salsa or yoghurt-topper. Wattage isn’t always the best indicator of a hand mixer's power, as some lower wattage motors are simply more energy efficient. During testing, there were excellent performances from mixers with wattages ranging from 85W to 400W. Which is better: hand blender or hand mixer?
