I had a Braun one for 9 years, was fab until I dorpped it on the floor & it smashed:p I replaced it with a tescos one, does the basic job but not a patch on my old Braun one;)

As this is a money-saving site, can I just point out that we should all keep our receipts? Mr T may be fair (and it's difficult to argue that a Tesco blender wasn't bought from there), but a lot of other shops won't be. I store all my instruction books in an alphabetical expanding file, and the second something arrives home with me, the receipt's stapled inside the book (not outside - some of those stupid till receipts fade if there's even a small amount of light), and the book's filed in the appropriate section.

Yes mine's Braun too (just like Pink-winged). If you use it a lot - especially on things like chick peas you'll probably find the 450 watts useful.

Must say I'd be lost without mine.

I have a cookworks one with 2 speed settings, but I would use the food processor to make something more heavy duty like hoummous.

It's on offer in argos at the moment reduced from £29.45 to £19.45. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Hi, this is the one I have, so am verrrrry grumpy to see that if I'd waited 2 weeks, I could have saved £10 :mad:

Seriously, I love it, well worth £30, IMO! I had a Tesco cheapie, which died making pumpkin soup :rolleyes: It was rubbish.

Just to edit, if you used your clubcard when you bought your blender, they can check on their system as to when it was bought. 2 year guarantee, if I remember. So no need for receipt.

Please buy one with a metal shaft not these plastic ones which warp and melt - if you go for a braun buy the better one. IMHO it is much better and I have had mine for years and years and Yes I DO USE IT

Thumbs up for Braun here too - mine lasted 15 years before I chucked it in favour of a food processor!

Braun MR6550 M CA Multiquick Hand Blender

This one is on Amazon and is a metal shafted one.

Mines a pacific bought in asda for under £10. Can take metal part off to wash and came with a plastic measuring beaker. Used fairly often for past 3 years but not done anything more heavy duty than making baby food or blitzing mince enough to hide the veg;)
