Hinari MB280 The Genie Multi-Attachment Blender

Product Information

I bought this because I've seen the TV ads for the magic bullet but couldn't justify the cost for something I wasn't sure I'd use, so was delighted to see this budget version. As a result, we recommend that you always read the label carefully before using or consuming any products.

The extra beakers and screw top lids are useful to keep juices and smoothies in the fridge and the coloured beaker tops are great for covering the screw tops when drinking. I've enjoyed my 'Genie' every day since it arrived and would be pleased to recommend it to anyone considering purchasing a blender for a single person or perhaps a couple. Also it doesn't seem to like fruit skins, for example apple ones, and struggles to slice through those. When I bought this a few years ago I was a little wary, being so inexpensive I thought the quality would probably not be great.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. It does its job, but when you are making fruit or veg smoothies you really have to make sure to precut them or you WILL get lumps. At ASDA, we do everything we can to make sure the information about the products we sell is always as accurate as possible. It also doesn't tend to work for anything thick, I tried to blend fondant icing and it refusing, outright, to do so, so really it only works with drinkable things and some thin sauces. The filter in the juicer jug is a fine mesh but is not very good at separating the juice from the mulch, so instead of a nice smooth juice drink I get a wet mulch.

This is a good, inexpensive machine for making smoothies, milkshakes, or blending soups and baby foods but not so good for juicing.
