If you're looking for a kitchen gadget with multiple uses, opt for the Hinari MB280 The Genie Multi-Attachment Blender. With a high torque 250W motor and 2 stainless steel blades, the Kitchen Genie 8-in-1 Blender can blend just about anything in a matter of seconds. However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional guides and dietary or allergy advice may occasionally change. This was until I bought my Hinari 'Genie' blender, after which thankfully my breakfast scenario changed forever. This is never off my kitchen worktop, the chopping and grinding blades are perfect for all kind of jobs and the cups it comes with are just the right size for making sauces, choping up herbs and garlic for cooking.

But it is quick and easy to assemble and even easier to clean, no fiddling around like a normal blender, just wash out the cup, rinse of the blade and voila! My first one broke in a couple of days, blending ONLY smoothies, it suddenly went insane, and blended the little rubber seal on the top of the blade, INTO MY DRINK. The Kitchen Genie 8-in-1 Blender boasts eight-core food preparation functions - blend, chop, whip, mix, puree, grate, grind, juice - so whatever you're looking to conjure up to feast on, the Kitchen Genie 8-in-1 Blender can help. I am writing this review months after purchase; during this time I have used the Hinari blender numerous times.I have been using it for almost 2 years now- mainly for milkshakes and smoothies but also for grinding nuts and spices- and this blender does a great job.

I have ground coffee beans but, again, this is not as good as a purpose built coffee grinder, it did take a long time to grind the coffee and the texture of the ground coffee was not consistent. At ASDA, we do everything we can to make sure the information about the products we sell is always as accurate as possible. The unit is very small, really easy to wash, comes with lots of cups so no fear if they ever get broken.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 then took the mixing blade that has given NO problems to finish the job of grinding the cashews and though it worked, it also began to grind away the rubber, so clearly this machine is only good with liquids and soft material.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 . It does its job, but when you are making fruit or veg smoothies you really have to make sure to precut them or you WILL get lumps. 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. As a result, we recommend that you always read the label carefully before using or consuming any products.
