The other day I tried the chopping blade with cashews and yoghurt and all I heard was a bunch of horrible grinding noises and then the blade stopped. 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.

At ASDA, we do everything we can to make sure the information about the products we sell is always as accurate as possible.Firstly there are too many accessories that come with it, I have no need for all the cups, blender, juicer, lids etc, so they take up space at the back of my cupboards.

The Kitchen Genie 8-in-1 Blender is one of the most versatile appliances you can add to your kitchen. I do recommend this juicer for making smoothies or milk shakes and for this it is good value for money.
