I bought one of these when they were £14.99 at Christmas time. I could have been unlucky but it was utter rubbish and I took it back. Specifically

• It leaked badly
• When I tried to get it apart it was jammed - the blade unit was stuck on the motor unit.
• Nothing would come out of the tap because the smootie liquid was too thick even though I had it micing for quite a while
• I don't know whether this was because mine was jammed but I think the blade unit remained attached to the motor unit so when you took the plastic dispenser off, the smootie liquid would drip into the base and make washing it a nightmare. I bought a Philips for £24.95 in the end and the blade was built into the plastic dispenser so I could wash it together, without worrying about getting water in the motor unit.

Maybe I was unlucky but I reckon the dropped the price so much because it is so pants.
