However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional guides and dietary or allergy advice may occasionally change. The reasons being that now I can stir my porridge into the lukewarm milk in the saucepan, add some organic oatbran, transfer the whole lot to my 'Genie' and with just three short bursts of blending everything has worked wonderfully and there isn't a sign of any lumps or bumps at all. I do recommend this juicer for making smoothies or milk shakes and for this it is good value for money. I bought this because I've seen the TV ads for the magic bullet but couldn't justify the cost for something I wasn't sure I'd use, so was delighted to see this budget version. This clever appliance comprised of 15 pieces is all you need for a number of everyday food preparation processes.

Sadly I am constantly checking whether the seal is still present before I drink anything - no blended rubber for me! Secondly I can't find any replacement seals and having used all the original spares one of my attachments is now sitting in-used until I can. Some reviewers have noticed the rubber seals breaking up but I have had no problems, the original seal is still in good condition and I have had no leaks. I also use this for smoothies and mixing up protein shakes which taste much better (really nice and smooth and creamy) than using one of those hand shakers.The extra beakers and screw top lids are useful to keep juices and smoothies in the fridge and the coloured beaker tops are great for covering the screw tops when drinking. The only problem was however much I tried to stir the frequently insoluble lumps into the milk the more I couldn't help thinking (as I stared into the abyss of 'unwelcome goo' that occasionally gave a resounding 'sploip'!

When I bought this a few years ago I was a little wary, being so inexpensive I thought the quality would probably not be great. I should add its so easy to clean and the large number of cups etc mean if you are making a number of items, you can keep the already made items in the container you just blended/chopped them in.I don't think it would be ideal for a large family but if you're on your own and would like to spoil yourself you could always try the above recipe - go on, treat yourself . Both of the blades work well, however I have found that nuts do not grind very well, I was left with a stodge, the blade is not sharp enough to cope with oily nuts. I did (just for a laugh) and it makes the best screamed eggs ever - because the high speed blender makes them so light and fluffy. The unit is very small, really easy to wash, comes with lots of cups so no fear if they ever get broken. It also doesn't tend to work for anything thick, I tried to blend fondant icing and it refusing, outright, to do so, so really it only works with drinkable things and some thin sauces.
