I really like the Nutri Ninja. I've had several different kinds now. When the Nutri Ninja eventually breaks down (as they all do one day), I will get another one immediately.
Cookworks stick blender for me too. Used almost daily for soups, smoothies, Yorkshire puds, pesto for example. I think it cost a tenner and lasted fifteen years before it broke.
I use a stick blender by cookworks. It brilliant. Even chops whole nuts. Lots of speed settings and comes with beaker . But I use it for my soup and blend in the saucepan. Smoothies I do in a measuring jug. Not used a fruit or vegetable it can't blend yet. Also it's not expensive had mine from Argos
The blende I have is a Vitamix. They are very expensive - I paid almost £400 but that was over ten years ago and it is still going strong. It is extremely powerful and has a much larger capacity jug than many blenders. You can put apple cores of apples in and they are completely blended into oblivion!
My nutribullit has become very noisy and is starting to leak, I was looking to replace it on Amazon but the nutribullit seems to have got some bad reviews so I looked at the ninja and that doesn’t seem to be much better so personal recommendations would help, thank you in anticipation
