Daewoo 2-in-1 Soup Maker & Smoothie Blender – 1.6l Compact Design, Auto Stir & Overspill Spout – Makes up to 6 Portions of Fresh Soup, Juices & Shakes – Easy Clean

Brilliant gadget. Makes very good tasty soup, easy to use, and I’ve been surprised by how much I use it. I make one batch and freeze half for later. Good price and well worth the money.

I don't often write a review as most products just meet my expectations, however, I had to share my thoughts on this soup maker.I've never used a soup maker before and thought it would be another kitchen gadget that would join the many others in the loft. Not the case. This product is fantastic. My first try was a simple leek and potato soup. I didn't know what to expect but I followed an online recipe, finely chopped leeks, onion, garlic and potato (with skin on, don't even need to peel them). Shoved it all in the soup maker, added 800ml veg stock, salt and pepper and switched it on to the smooth setting. Walked away and went back when it was bleeping 21 minutes later and found 1.6 litres of piping hot, perfectly blended, tasty and hearty leek and potato soup. So impressed.At this price point, I wasn't expecting much, but this product is really good. Does what it says on the tin and makes great soup. Easy to clean, no mess, no fuss and makes a good quantity if you want to batch cook and freeze. As it's so quick and easy, I actually make my soup while I'm getting ready for work, then pop it in a flask and take it red hot and fresh. If you like homemade soup, I highly recommend this one. More expensive brands will probably have lots of fancy settings on, but this is fuss free, quick, easy, and makes great soup.

Great piece of equipment, but the element burned out after about 2 years and I had to replace it.

Easy to use and makes great soup and dinners

So far I have used the product 4 times: parsnip soup, leek & potato soup and 2 lots of broccoli soup. Very pleased with the results.This is the first soup maker that we have owned, and I don't regret choosing the Daewoo. I checked the reviews of several soup makers before selecting this one, and all seem to have received mainly good reviews with a small number of very worrying negative ones. I therefore decided to take out some insurance cover for this appliance for an extra fiver.The max and min fill levels are not far apart, so we will always be making the full 1.6L of soup, or close to it. This equates to 3 generous servings, and I have purchased some 600ml storage containers so that I can store soup in the fridge or freezer.Unlike some others this soup maker does not have a dedicated cleaning function, but is nevertheless very easy to clean. The soup compartment is lined with stainless steel and needs little more than rinsing out. The upper part is smooth plastic and just needs a wipe over with a wet cloth or sponge. A little care is needed when cleaning to avoid getting water into the electrical connections between the top and the base.Making smooth soup takes just 21 minutes in the soup maker, but preparing the ingredients can take several minutes, so allow plenty of time for cleaning, peeling and chopping up the ingredients.I found the instruction book easy to understand, and it includes a few recipes. Each time I made soup I included 2 vegetable stock cubes with the ingredients and found the results to be delicious, at least as good as any ready made soup I could have bought.It is early days but so far I am very pleased with this item, and wish I had got one sooner.Update 8 months later: I am still very pleased with this item. Some people have asked about the soup maker cutting out every minute or so, and this has just happened to mine. I believe I caused this to happen by making the soup too thick, i.e. too much of the solid ingredients and not enough liquid. Specifically I added a whole can of green lentils with most of the water drained off, and lentils are known to be a means of thickening soup. The cutting out seems to have been due to the soup maker overheating. I let the process continue to the end which took a lot longer than normal due to all the cutting out. The result was some very thick soup and a little burned matter on the base of the jug. Conclusion: it is good to know that the appliance is protected against overheating.

UPDATE - AFTER USING SMOOTH SOUP MAKER LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES, THE BLENDER HAS STOPPED WORKING THEREFORE REDUCING TO 1 STAR, WINDOW OF RETURN PASSED 😔 used quite a few times now. Followed review tips and drizzle oil at bottom before putting veg in.Love the fact that I can just leave it for either 21 mins for smooth, or 24 mins for chunky. It beeps just before blending and again, for a minute, when finished.So far I've not needed to blend any further when finished eg parnip soup was silky smooth.I didn't appreciate that you need to chop veg slightly smaller than when making in pan (but that may be me being overly cautious). However, once all chopping is done, just ensure you don't go over, or under, the lines with your hot stock.Easy to clean - I tend to serve and leave remaining to cool, decanter then pop some hot water in, press blend, then simply wipe clean. The blending unit is also easy to wipe clean.This machine has made making soups so much easier, less of a bother and makes 4 large bowls or 6 smaller sized ones. Great for using any leftover veg in fridge then freezing for later. Will make smoothies with leftover yoghurt and fruit when needed.

It does everything it says it can do,and makes fantastic soup andVery easy to clean, I can't wait to make my next batch of soup.

I ordered this Daewoo soup maker as a gift for my wife for Christmas. She's wanted one for ages.I can do a full review once it's been used, but for now review it on the basis of the same model that a friend has, which I was able to see in action before buying one.This is really easy to use. It takes all the effort out of making soup. There's no need to spend ages cutting up and cooking veg as the soup maker does it all for you.It's a decent capacity; certainly big enough for a family of 4.This really makes light work of soup making.My friend brought theirs into work to make soup. It tasted delicious. That's all down to what ingredients you use though..overall, as an initial review, I'm pleased that I bought this and look forward to making our own soup from now on.The overall size of the soup maker is also good as it's not too big, so won't take up too much room in the kitchen.Update: were over the moon with this. It's so quick and quiet in operation. Hot soup in under half an hour with no mess.

Great machine and well used!

very good quallity and simple to use.

Love it. Can't wait for soup season to come again. So easy with this machine, and great for weight loss.
