Well I've gotten mine! AND on the day they said they'd deliver too so doubly impressed! 3.5l is fine for me as there are only 2 of us and looking into it then there is LOADS of room in a 3.5 litre one
Matches the rest of my kitchen and various gadgets too so even better! (George Foreman Grill and my Juicer/blender which actually DOES get used... although next I want a "Magic Bullet" as it's smaller and I am always trying to run off with my mates one

I received my SC yestarday and it looks really good and comes with a small recipe book - I am off to trawl the SC recipe index and get some ideas!
Thanks to the OP for this fab spot!!!The Best Things in Life Are Free0 -
NOTE... well we were all fine for uhmmm just over a week... then the lid handle thingy broke (looks like a crack in the plastic) and as it comes with a 2 year warrenty I called up LX to ask if they could send a new knob... easier and cheaper surely

Ah - no... but they can arrange collection, then they'll take 2 weeks to determine if it's really broken and THEN they'll refund me if it is... They won't send a replacement... nope. I have to buy it again and no this time I won't qualify for free delivery! *Splutter*
Same story from the Swan help line (Littlewoods actually import these from the far east and brand them SWAN themselves... ) I can't even BUY the knob myself to avoid the 3-4 weeks waiting time! Sorry but I'm not impressed!
Will have a good think and work out if I should just try and super glue it or if I should go through the whole returns process... *sigh* Have btw sent letter of complaint to LX so might wait and see what they say... no doubt they'll be as much use as a chocolate teapot too...DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!
