Tefal Blender & Soup Maker Perfectmix Cook, 2L, 10 Auto Programs, Smoothie Maker, Removable Blades, Cleaning Program & Brush, Glass Jug, Tamper, Hot & Cold Kitchen Blender, Cooking, BL83SD65

I brought this to make use of lots of veg to make soup and pasta sauces. It has been really useful and is used for smoothies and milkshakes also . I love the cleaning button although when you have finished making the recipe I find it useful to was it out and clean the lid with warm water and then run the self clean function. The blending is amazing as it makes light work of frozen fruit and is just all round fantastic and a money saver

Excellent soup maker. Blends delicious soups and smoothies with ease. Very easy to clean. Excellent value for money.

As stated it’s heavy I cannot pick up the jug part one handed. That said it comes apart as stated. Making it easy clean. Large volume. One thing is not true, it is not dishwasher safe, A couple of the bits are, like the tamper, the steamer basket but the rest is to be done by hand. Understandable as the element is attached to the blades and the electronic safety features are attached to the jug/lid combo. The lid is not dishwasher safe. I got the idea it was dishwasher safe from the comparison chart with other products, I suppose that having some parts which are dish washable qualifies it technically. I cannot find one that has a glass jug and is lighter so I am keeping it. Used a couple of times, this has serious speed and strength, a pretty hefty blender for domestic use.

I love this blender! I make smoothies most days and have also made smooth and chuncky soups too. It blends excellently and always have a smooth smoothie. The soup function is excellent, just chop up some veg, put in some stock, herbs and spices and turn it on and its ready in 30 mins. Its perfect! There is also a self cleaning option too, which is basically it boiling water and then the blades spin. So make sure you rinse everything off first, it doesn't clean it fantastically and you will need to use the supplied utensils to properly clean around the blades and the bottom of it. It is quite noisy but a smoothie is made in just over a minute and obviously with soups it heats it all up before it blends so it isn't loud for the full 30 minutes.

The item works perfectly fine and makes perfect hot soup. However it is absolutely difficult to clean. First of all, it's basically not dishwasher friendly. There are electric contacts all over the product that you can't put even the glass jar and the cover to dishwasher. What make it worse is that the gasket between the jar and the blade motor is not removable for cleaning. You can imagine how much dirt will accumulate if it is not thoroughly cleaned and dried after every use. Don't rely on the clean mode. It can't clean every corner of the components.

This is a heavy item,no flimsy little machine...it's very straightforward to use,quiet whilst cooking, be prepared it's a little noisy when blending but it's so efficient it's done in no time (4 or so consecutive blends after the end of cooking time last about 8/10 seconds each time) love the cleaning function,simple to use.Be careful though the jug/glass gets very hot....made a gorgeous soup with fresh veggies from my allotment 😋 Will be using my Christmas present soup maker quite a bit I think and for the other things it can be used for....very happy with this all singing and dancing machine 😃💕

I bought this as the Ninja I wanted was out of stock everywhere, however I am impressed with it so far, the soup function is fabulous, we have made smoothies too, it seems really good quality, and is easy to clean, my only slight negative is it us very heavy, so if you have limitations with your hands it might be an issue.

Great for soups , chunky or smooth . Blends well . Easy too use . The jug is very heavy , there is a cleaning mode but you still need to clean after.
