This is my second Kambrook Blitz. I bought the same model as before as it is a real trojan of a Blitzer. The first one's motor burned out eventually, possibly before the warranty, but it was blitzing 2 smoothies every morning Monday through Sunday for many months on end, so that didn't come as a surprise. My tip would be to follow the instructions and blend no longer than 30 seconds each time. I've never used it to blend lots of ice so no idea how that goes but I highly recommend it for smoothies.

Purchased for my elderly mother who has arthritis. It is very easy to twist and turn on for her. The other brands you have to push down and turn which is difficult for elderly and disabled people

Does all I need

Great machine but one fault and a messy one... 3 times now after screwing together and believe me after first time Ive double checked their tight together, cup has become detached from lid after blending spilling contents everywhere !!!

I love that this machine turns itself off when its done and that it has different heat settings. Its easy to clean too!
