Ice is a solid

Wot's up ..chichi? I can make my carrot juice with this one, great price :laughing:

I got the Salter Pro 1000 from a Robert Dyas offer on here last year (came to less than £40 delivered).

I've used it every day since and find it excellent. I can't really see any downsides or how it could be significantly bettered, particularly at this price. It comes with only one set of blades (I think the expensive Nutribullets may come with a spare blade base ?). It seems solid enough and well made with good rubber suction feet that stop it vibrating on the kitchen surface.

It's very powerful at 1000w and demolishes frozen fruit / ice / nuts etc. in seconds and leaves no little bits (eg nuts) either .. just a smooth liquid to drink :-).

However it is best to add liquid to frozen fruit to keep the smoothie at least pourable, otherwise you end up with a thick paste that the motor will slow slightly and get quite hot. I use semi or skimmed milk, Almond milk or Coconut milk for this rather than water.

It comes with three beakers, the largest being 1 litre ... so this is an advantage if you want to make smoothies for two !

I find it very easy to clean

My tips would be :

1. Never overfill it - best to keep under the three- quarter mark of the beakers.
2. Screw the beakers into the bade base quite tightly as they can loosen during blending (and leak)
3. Never use it for more than 30 seconds at a time (as per instructions) - that is plenty anyway.
4. Rinse the blades straight away after blending
5. Keep the outer sealing ring in the blade base clean (it's like a white silicone sealing ring)
6. To blend you either push and hold the beaker down for a few seconds or you can push and twist clockwise to lock the beaker in the blend position and remove you hand while it blends. Be careful when untwisting (to stop the blending) that you don't lift the beaker at the same time before the blades have fully stopped. I've done this a few times initially and it can grates/grind the contact points between the bottom of the beaker unit and the main unit.
7. There are three white plastics slots on the base unit that push down when the beaker+blades is attached for blending. These can occasionally get sticky (from leaks) and stiff. Every now and again they need cleaning by dabbing / pushing with hot water and kitchen roll - MAKE SURE UNIT IS OFF AT THE MAINS WHEN DOING THIS !!

in case you haven't noticed , saving money is the object of this site.

I got £20 as well plus no min spend also can use the £10 off 2nd order over £60 at same time to get £30 off £60 !!!

Thanks for the tip. They gave me £20

Got charged £1, they sent a different product, refused it, just had £14 refunded to card....wierdos....:confused::smile:

If it is covered on eBay money back guarantee lol

I found them helpful as well and £20 code for anytime use!!! Think it was fate not to get it just ordered the nutri ninja 1000watt IQ new in cream with bonus 4 extra cups so 7 in total on eBay for £59.99 free postage

Unlike Vodafone CS fiasco on the LG G4 phone, Sainsbury's phone system actually directs you to the right department to make a query. A very friendly and knowledgeable person giving the reasons for my non delivery...OOS, stock not allocated, same problem with the Lynx tablet, a horrible website called hot ebay comp posted this product :laughing::laughing::laughing:...the problem was I didn't get notified the delivery was not going ahead. So he rang the store and came back straightaway and apologised that something must have gone wrong. He didn't try to hide behind a smoke screen and give me BS. He kindly said he will send me a £25 code to use on next shop with no expiry. Not a great outcome regarding the product itself but because they took the trouble to explain clearly and factually the reasons behind it I was OK about it....so will give them another go in the future.

£18 voucher received from Sainsburys to cheer me up................Yipee..................:innocent:

ordered mine quite early after being posted here.

Received next day no probs. Have been using it regularly last few days and probably the best gadget i have bought in years (and trust me i buy a lot!!)

a Philips blender substitute was delivered which i refused on tuesday. today my account has been debited £33 but credited £100....????

mine was due to be delivered today between 12 and 1. its now 15:44 nothing arrived, no call or anything... I'm not holding my breath

Ordered mine to my work place for today - not expecting it to arrive - my colleagues under strict instruction not to sign for any parcels for me (we casually just sign for each others) - so delivery chap made to wait 10 minutes until I was located! But THE RIGHT ITEM arrived! So happy! Thanks very much for the info and hope others are successful :smiley:

Apologies, I think the inference and meaning of my original comment went over your head, you took the comment literally.

Just had my call no delivery as not in stock will refund money. Rang customer service they have given me a £20 code to use on any ammount spend

Ordered one with click and collect. But the item never arrived. So the store rang me to tell me they were cancelling my order! I rang Customer Services they said put a new order through and sent me a new £18 voucher code. Now ordered as home delivery for next week. Fingers crossed it will arrive!

Offered me a magic bullet as replacement but refused. Charged me £23 for it then refunded £50, free £27 for my troubles :man:

Yes really but you aren't real.:laughing:

No really ;-)

yeh mine meant to be here by 7.30. Now 9.43. Probably be asleep when they turn up

I've not been so lucky, was booked for 7-8pm, it's now 9.40pm and no sign of it (ordered food as well so it's definitely not cancelled). To make matters worse the online dept at the store is apparently closed for the evening so the lady on the other end of the phone couldn't tell me what was going on.

Had given up hope and was ready to start my complaint email when the driver turned up at 1959. Happy days, cheers OP.

Ordered Tuesday 4pm, just delivered at my door 10 minutes ago at 7:30pm Wednesday sharp of the booked time slot. Requested no substitute. Very happy with it. Thanks op.

I have put a comment on the Sainsbury's Facebook page explaining the issue I have with their on-line ordering and stock allocation process. When you order a £40 electrical item it should allocate the stock to you and not take you through the payment and choosing a delivery slot (and paying for it) if they don't know if they will actually have any stock or not on the day of your delivery from the local store they have chosen.

Lets hope Argos takes over Sainsbury's and gets them sorted out !

They delivered a Nutribullet 600 series 12 piece to me for £68.40 with the discount, not happy.

Ordered this on Monday to be delivered today, was fully expecting a OOS phone call. A lovely Sainsbury's delivery man has just delivered it. The children are looking for anything they can Ninja as I type.

Was waiting for mine today, 4.30 pm delivery, got the dreaded call at 2 pm, sorry OOS!
Not impressed with this not so super market....................:disappointed:

Sainsbury's what a bunch of prize wazzacks !
Took part of the afternoon of work to be home for my 16:00 delivery.
Got a call at 15:00 from a local Sainsbury's store advising as they have no stock they will not be delivering !
I pointed out I ordered from the website, not a local store, when I ordered the item was in stock and I was asked to choose and pay for my delivery slot.
Apparently stock is not allocated to you when you order an in stock item, apparently stock is only allocated on the morning of your delivery day when Sainsbury's Head Office send your order to the store they choose to deliver to you.
Pathetic and misleading.
I said I don't care where Sainsbury's deliver the item from that is of no interest to me as I ordered it from the website not a specific store. They suggested I could visit local stores to see if they had any stock.
I said why would I want to do that when I have ordered from what I thought was a national website.

This will be my first and last order with this bunch of clowns, back to John Lewis for me.

I reckon they will make a good will gesture of some kind. I had a delivery 10 minutes late and I didn't even need to complain, I just got the delivery charge refunded and a £10 off voucher. They have a lot of good will gestures at their disposal for new customers.

Just be really polite and understanding with their customer service and they'll be cool with you, or if complaining over the phone isn't your cup of tea slap it on their facebook page.

Just got my order cancelled due to no stock availability.
For God sake i have opted out from substitute replacement ; )
Also was on the phone with the consumer service and they gave me £18 voucher with no minimum spend

Cold, ordered on Monday, received call today saying out of stock. How is that, when they are stil on the website?!?

I have not used the Ninja so cant compare. However, my Salter Nutri Pro 1000 arrived yesterday from Wilko (£40). Tried a few combination of smoothies and very impressed with the results. Almonds, ice, carrots, celery etc are blended very smoothly and no chunks are found floating about. Tried frozen mixed berries, banana and milk, one of the best homemade smoothies. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to all.

Well they didn't come nor did I get an email or phone call..

And thanks OP, it was really opportune that you posted because I had began my price comparison yesterday morning. Seems as I was one of the fortunate.

Opted for no substitutes and got mine today! Maybe got another delivery in or perhaps they prioritise orders with no substitutes and hope other will accept alternatives. It was luck of the draw though!

Just delivered ( Nantwich store). Thanks!

Just received my order so thanks for posting

I also failed to receive the delivery. We did, however, receive a phone call on the day of delivery to say that it was OOS and tough luck.

It seems to be as though Sainsbury's have realised what's happened with lots of people ordering the same item with the same code, and have basically declined to honour the offer. Combined with the dreadful website (including the ridiculous "alternative" tick box others have fallen foul of), it doesn't leave a great first (and only) impression of online shopping with Sainsbury's.

Any course suggestions?

Ours has just been cancelled too - we're in Manchester. ****.

Ice is a solid. Yes, it is the name of frozen water, but that is still water in its solid form. Most solids become liquid if heated to the correct temperature and they become gas if heated further. All gasses and fluids become solid when the temperature drops far enough. That's basic physics. Maybe it's not me and BigYoSpeck who need to go back to school ...

I received my Nutri Ninja tonight. Well, actually a substitute Nutribullet. Baby. A Nutribullet Baby with 200w of power. What the...

Got the call this evening (due for delivery) - nothing being delivered as OOS and no alternative item. Said they'd made at least 30 similar calls about this item and that's just one store. Also said more stock coming soon but that's probably just a load of BS...

Thanks OP, picked mine up today at the Wandsworth store after going to the instore C&C desk (clothing only?), redirected to the CS desk (they hadn't a clue), then eventually to the car park where it came out of the back of a Sainsburys delivery van. (grocery C&C point) :smiley:

Thanks for that update dear x

Ordered for delivery tomorrow, thanks OP! There is only one store that allows for delivery in the Glasgow area so I'm hoping they have stock!

Thanks op, mine delivered just now after ordering Sunday. Just luck of the drawI guess....

I received a 600W NutriBullet whilst being charged £69. Didn't realise it at the time that it was a replacement so I'm now sorting out a refund.

rang me up today to say dont come to collect they are out of stock. i was busy so just said i will wait untill they are back in stock. see what comes of it

Salter nutri pro 1000 at Ocardo half price £49.99 plus first order over £40 gives you £20 off makes it £29.99 looks good

They sent me a replacement...a 200W Magic bullet 17 pieces set. I was considering returning it but found out that they charged me only £23 for it and it is selling everywhere else for £50-60..so I will keep it

you loose your voucher I just checked with Sainsbury I am going to phone head office

If you're looking for an alternative, the Salter Nutri Pro 1000 has been mentioned quite a few times in this thread. Best price currently seems to be £40 at Wilkos. The silver has sold out, but available in red - http://www.wilko.com/blenders-food-mixers+processors/salter-nutri-pro-red/invt/0423078 Go via a cashback site and pickup in store for the best price.

A few useful replies on it in this thread about it:

Our delivery turned up with an £18 300W 'alternative', as others they never phoned but the driver took it back and will re-deliver next week when back in stock....apparently....according to his Manager....

Ice is water, frozen into a solid state, maybe you should go back to school like BigYoSpeck.

Thanks OP. Ordered on Monday, collected today (Tuesday) from Sainsbury's in St Albans. £42. Argos have the 'lite' version (only 700W) for £39.99 in the sale at the moment, which was my backup plan.

Ordered, thanks!

Sorry Currys

Cirrus doing the slim version £39 instead of £99 collect only order online but not delivery

Try B&M if you have one near buy, I posted their deal earlier.

NONE left in stock :disappointed: opened an account yesterday, ordered one along with some veg, got discount , shopping arrived today, no Nutri Ninja, driver said there's none left, so I sent shopping back as there was no need for it. Rang C.S they where useless and couldn't/wouldn't help

Try google they show all the latest deals x

I just had a web chat with them said I was expecting delivery Thursday if it doesn't come will I be able to use my £20 off £60 first order voucher again they said no you lose that GUTTED I will stick with Tesco Ocardo waitrose no more orders with them !!!

It's sounding like they've let quite a few people down and not bothered to tell quite a few of them. I was one of the first to order this deal too so pretty disappointing. Anybody know the next cheapest deal on this?

I never got a phone call - I have phoned them as should have been delivered - they said they tried phoning (liars) to tell me they were out of stock - why didn't they send me an e-mail then?

I was fully expecting a cancellation call, but mine has just been delivered.

Thanks for posting, Chanchi32.

I ordered a couple of hours after deal was posted. Delivery was meant to be at 11am today and just got a call at 10:51am telling me there's no stock

Yeah, mine cancelled too, and they have them in store. Won't honour the discount code though. Apparently stock for reserved is delivered to store so oos. Crazy.

They just called me and cancel my order. Say no more stock went down to my local sainsbury and saw 2 in the shelf. :disappointed:

A 12 piece Nutri Bullet was delivered at home with a £68 bill..Gutted

It's a stupid system that they have! Luckily I didn't have much to do this morning but I won't order from them again. I know I haven't lost anything but you could miss out on other deals, waste time\money going to collect or rearrange other appointments.

Maybe Likely2 works for Heathrow security ... http://boingboing.net/2015/09/10/heathrow-security-insists-that.html
:smirk:

Great deal. Just ordered one!

How does it extract hidden nutrients? Utter Toshiba.

Just ordered

well thought it was just me who had order cancelled apparently not. just had call, no stock even though told delivery at 12 noon. Asked why tell me its out for delivery then cancel it half hour before, he said well thats how it works first come first served, will have to wait for stock so told him to stick his stock where the sun dont shine with an attitude like that. Its not that I needed it, theres others out there and other suppliers too like Homebase.

Just hope the person I spoke to has got some KY Jelly to remove the Ninja from his backside..

Received phone call from Sainsburys cancelled order 30 minutes before delivery was due! [email protected]

Just got a voicemail from sainsburys saying my order is cancelled because they are out of stock. It was due to be delivered today. Ordered yesterday during the day.

Ordered yesterday- arrived on time - 7.30pm tonight. Just tried the "Ginger Pear Defence" as I had pears and ginger. It was pretty tasteless - hopefully because the pears were a bit hard. Looks like all the nice stuff needs something called Almond Milk. Got to get me some of that !

They won't do that to a 'new' customer, if the receipt the driver gave you is for £3.30 that's all you will pay, they can't charge you more after you've accepted the delivery with that price receipted as you don't have the option to refuse the order.

Honestly they bend over backwards for new customers, I had a delivery 10 minutes late once and they refunded the delivery cost and gave me another money off code for my next order.

Just got it delivered, superb build quality, really impressed with this blender.
Thanks OP!

Just had the Nutr Ninja delivered

Managed to collect mine from Gravesend Sainsburys in Kent this evening :smiley:

Got mine today, picked it up from the Click and Collect which comprised a driver sitting in a van in the car park. Sainsburys are trying too hard to be different...
Anyway, all washed up and drip drying. Will buy some ingredients tomorrow. Not sure where to get some of the recipe ingredients.


Have is present perfect, had is past perfect. These are neither past nor present tenses, but extentions of them. Either was acceptable in sam1970's case, because present tense deals with the past up until now. You and soldierboy both need grammar lessons.

Ordered it a couple of hours after I posted the deal for 10-11pm delivery today. Selected no substitutions in case there were stock issues given this is coming from their grocery site.

Apart from the delivery driver wondering the streets looking for the address all arrived fine



Love a ninja

If ordered home delivery but no one at home what will they do? I have a safe post box. Will they leave it there or does it require to be signed?

Wow...little gangster boy causing a ruckus again?...
Who do you really think should grow up?

Obviously a gangsta by your name, so I will be careful what I say...
He started his comment out as "in case"....... So... "In the case you hadn't noticed!"
This is clearly referring to past tense.... The past tense being before...and then telling me. "in case you hadn't noticed , saving money is the object of this site"
So 1. Pipe down little gangsta boy...this doesn't concern you.
2.It's best to know what you are talking about before making a so called correction. Especially when you're wrong...soldierkid001
End of...

Gutted. No show with my delivery. Called customer service, they inform me it's out of stock at the sainsburys closest to me and I should be been contacted which I wasn't. Someone from the branch called me back confirming they have had loads of issues with customers not being contacted about there orders. Looks like il be getting money back as he told me it probably won't be back in. Hope you guys have better luck.

Sainsbury's tried to deliver their own £18.00 instead of ninja. I didn't accept the order and emailed them to send me the correct item.

Yes i just tried this code with them and they say it has expired which is ashame so i just canceled my order. Il keep my eye out.

Alpro do a few different versions (Sweetened/unsweetened), £1 at Sainsburys at the moment and on offer other places too - http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=almond%20alpro

Well mine has just turned up, exactly as ordered :smiley: Correct machine, correct price..and the fruit I ordered to test it with :smiley: Not bad considering I ordered this only 23 hours ago.

The driver said they had received over 50 orders to that one store alone and he's delivered loads today as a result of it hitting this site - seemed fully aware of the deal and how "hot" it's gone.

Thanks OP - fingers crossed for the rest of you still waiting on a delivery - the blenders do exist and are being delivered...

HOT HOT HOT!

Just turned up and the cheeky ***** tried to flog me a Magic Bullet!!. Obviously refused collection, it's like ordering a PS4 and getting a PS3 as a substitute, shocking service. Don't accept orders if you have none in stock, not difficult.

Just had driver come to door with mine delivery, it was a Nutribullet rather than a Ninja. I got the impression from speaking to him that it was a free upgrade but nope, when I look closer at the receipt I've been billed full amount. Will be contacting them for a refund and collection, lesson learned about Sainsburys and substitutions!

I got called from the Denton, Manchester store to tell me they didn't have any.
However another one did....

How rubbish are Sainsburys, they won't send it from the other store, which is actually closer.

Amazon wouldn't be this poor at customer service

Soooooo, has anyone actually received one of these from Sainsbury's yet? I've delivery scheduled for 9pm but expectations have got lower and lower after reading the last 3 pages, no OOS text yet though.

Just checked and as per my earlier comments, this is treated as any other grocery item, by default with substitutes turned on. Sainsburys operate their subs by sending a replacement item AND charging you the difference. You can of course refuse the item and get refunded. If, as I imagine most do, you only want this particular item, turn off the sub option when ordering (click on 'Full Trolley View' before you click 'Checkout' (link is beside it) and then un-check the 'Allow Substitute Box').

Just ordered thanks! Used my nectar points to get vouchers as already a customer.

Nice one, got one for the other half..................<3

how does this compare to the breville blender ? I have one of those. does ice easily etc and cost me 20 pounds.

Great thank you! Ordering one :smiley:

They're a supermarket, they love the substitutes. If this is like a grocery order you have the option to turn subs on or off, default is on and guess that's what's happened here.

if I wanted a nutri bullet I would have paid extra and ordered one.. ive never heard of a company bringing you a item you have not ordered before, very strange, usually get a email saying out of stock..

im old enough to operate a nutri ninja, not that I will ever have one!

Worth a punt !

Are there any differences between this, the Nutribullet and the Nutrimaster? If so, which is best because they all seem to be pretty similar to me.

Hadn't is past tense, haven't is both past and present tense. It's best to know what you are talking about before making a so called correction.

Ordered, had been looking at these, and glad I waited! QVC had at £66, but this is much better.

yawn

**** Update ****
After being told they had cancelled our order without telling us. We went into the store to complain after going back and forth about our wasted journey my partner spotted the nutri ninja behind the customer service desk apparently someone had just returned it un opened as they got the better model. So ended up being lucky and taking that one for £42

Oh....well thank you so much for pointing that out to me as i did not notice that..............................
My point MATE...was that someone couldnt PAY me £7 to run that errand.....
Also it's "hadn't noticed" not "haven't noticed"...
Cretin
:wink:

How much will it cost you in fuel...and how much time will it take you?!...

Just ordered one. Cost £45.40 though, including the minimum £3 delivery charge and a 40p 'carrier bag charge', whatever that is

We've just gone to collect ours and it's not here they said there aren't any in stock and someone should have rang us. No one did this was sainsburys in gravesend, Kent. Good luck for anyone trying to get one of these. Good deal such a shame

I'll keep away from that then if it crushes nuts.

Would order the salter one but want to know if it's crush ice. I know the ninja does i have seen it online as well as at a mates house. And also it grind nuts well i don't know of the salter does?

Thanks. Phoned them and they reissued me with new voucher. Reordered for home delivery now .. Not holding much hope though.

Delivery driver just been with my "order", he brought a nurti bullet instead and said the ninja is out of stock, but was going to charge me £28 if I was to keep the bullet!? biggest waste of time I don't even understand why he came to deliver something I didn't order for more than I paid?

Sainsburys phoned that my order is cancelled due to not having it in stock so there is nothing for me to pick up tonight! How do I order it now again from a different store if my first time voucher £18 has already been used?

Are you sure you'll be able to handle this when you get it, after all this is machinery.

It's not

Sainsburys phoned that my order is cancelled due to not having it in stock so there is nothing for me to pick up tonight! How do I order it now again from a different store if my first time voucher £18 has already been used?

I bought the salter nutri pro 1000 this morning, from wilko for £44 delivered. Hope it's good.

Sainsburys phoned that my order is cancelled due to not having it in stock so there is nothing for me to pick up tonight! How do I order it now again from a different store if my first time voucher £18 has already been used?

Great price! I bought when JL had on offer at £49. Really pleased with it

Has anyone made breadcrumbs with one of these?

Ordered, hope I don't get a substitute.

If you bought one from JL could do an undersell claim?

Ordered from Sainsburys last night. Just got call to say out of stock :disappointed:

cheers op just bought (hope i get a ninja and not a bullet) :-)

Thanks for the help xx

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate your help.

You can but its a faff, and mostly defeats much of the point :smiley: The big advantage of one of these over a traditional juicer is that you get to keep all the fibre etc that is normally left over from a juicer. To get juice out of one of these you need to filter/strain the resulting mixture (and ideally only blend it for a few seconds rather than 30) - for example this is a way to make apple juice with one

http://testkitchentuesday.com/2011/09/26/making-apple-juice-with-a-ninja-blender/

It's better at making smoothies really.

A juicer extracts just the juice from whatever you put through it an separates the fibre. As a blender this mulches everything fibre included.

You could then pour the smoothie through a sieve and get a smoother smoothie but you'd probably be better off just going with a juicer in the first place if that's what you want and a lot of people feel a smoothie with the fibre in it is better for you anyway as it will slow down the absorption of the sugars from what you blend and also satisfies your appetite better.

Sainsburys canceled my order apparently out of stock I did click and collect

Just ordered, been looking to buy a decent juicer for a while, at this price I couldn't resist.

I got the Salter Pro 1000 from a Robert Dyas offer on here last year (came to less than £40 delivered).

I've used it every day since and find it excellent. I can't really see any downsides or how it could be significantly bettered, particularly at this price. It comes with only one set of blades (I think the expensive Nutribullets may come with a spare blade base ?). It seems solid enough and well made with good rubber suction feet that stop it vibrating on the kitchen surface.

It's very powerful at 1000w and demolishes frozen fruit / ice / nuts etc. in seconds and leaves no little bits (eg nuts) either .. just a smooth liquid to drink :-).

However it is best to add liquid to frozen fruit to keep the smoothie at least pourable, otherwise you end up with a thick paste that the motor will slow slightly and get quite hot. I use semi or skimmed milk, Almond milk or Coconut milk for this rather than water.

It comes with three beakers, the largest being 1 litre ... so this is an advantage if you want to make smoothies for two !

I find it very easy to clean

My tips would be :

1. Never overfill it - best to keep under the three- quarter mark of the beakers.
2. Screw the beakers into the bade base quite tightly as they can loosen during blending (and leak)
3. Never use it for more than 30 seconds at a time (as per instructions) - that is plenty anyway.
4. Rinse the blades straight away after blending
5. Keep the outer sealing ring in the blade base clean (it's like a white silicone sealing ring)
6. To blend you either push and hold the beaker down for a few seconds or you can push and twist clockwise to lock the beaker in the blend position and remove you hand while it blends. Be careful when untwisting (to stop the blending) that you don't lift the beaker at the same time before the blades have fully stopped. I've done this a few times initially and it can grates/grind the contact points between the bottom of the beaker unit and the main unit.
7. There are three white plastics slots on the base unit that push down when the beaker+blades is attached for blending. These can occasionally get sticky (from leaks) and stiff. Every now and again they need cleaning by dabbing / pushing with hot water and kitchen roll - MAKE SURE UNIT IS OFF AT THE MAINS WHEN DOING THIS !!

Holy **** what a bargain! Was gonna order a blender today anyway and then saw this.
Cheers!

Got one in the end, toss up between the Salter and this thanks.

Difficult to say.

hope some people get them I ordered and was pickup at 8 this morning and go text saying not in stock

Currently enjoying a breakfast smoothie courtesy of the John Lewis deal before Christmas. Couldn't be happier with the ninja. The op mentions a turbo button, not sure I'm aware of this? You just click the glass in and hold it down to blend.

Sam if yout already have one from John Lewis, consider keeping that one as you get the 2 year warranty?

Sam1970 - that's not the best way to do things.
Have you ever bought something that was good and said "I should have got this ages ago" ??
Also you could be waiting ages for a price to come back down to a previous offer price - not having the use of the item in the meanwhile.

I see your point...but as a very long time user of HUKD and MSE websites (actually from when they started), saving even £1 gives me a very great pleasure. I might not use this blender at all and it might sit in a cupboard for years (which is not great saving exercise) but I just refuse to buy it for a penny more than the lowest ever price available

I found more info on the salter nutri pro 1000 sold in wilko.

The salter is a rebranded version of Tower Vita Blend Pro.

After reading all the reviews I could find on the salter and the vita blend, it tells me that the salter is as good as the nutribullet and Ninja and some people said its better.

I have ordered the salter and will review it once I receive it.

Is this better than the OP's?, or .....

LIFESAVER!! .. saves me having to now bother myself with MULTIPLE email accounts to account for these multiple discount codes of theirs now?, heheheh, thanx. :-)

Nice one. :-)

I used to drink the frozen fruit smoothies this makes but I'm enjoying my juicer more at the moment.

also worth noting sainsburys might not even have any stock anyway I don't think its a online good system it seems to only get delivered from your local store, if they don't have it that's it you wont get it?

Ordered another one after getting one from JL. This one will stay at my parents :smiley:
Thanks!

I do not have one of these . I do have a masticating juicer which needs the fruit/veg to be cut up small before juicing. It isn't noisy.
However I know with garden shredders that the noisy type just don't get used because of the noise - it sounds by peoples' descriptions that this will end up being avoided.

I've also decided to go for the Salter from Wilkos. TCB tracked at at £1.61.

Berhwale - thanks for the info on the cups, will take a look.

Does anyone know if this will still be available online tomorrow with the code?

in case you haven't noticed , saving money is the object of this site.

Ordered! Thanks.

Ordered one for delivery tomorrow evening - no issues and added a bunch of frozen fruit to the order so it will be ready to go :smiley:

It will be interesting to compare this to the nutibullet that my other half owns - suspect they will be very similar!

Thanks for posting

I agree about the value of the extra year cover from JL but I am returning mine as I get an extra year cover anyway from my current account bank so there is no point in being over covered and wasting £7

Exactly, I'm happy to pay the extra £7 for JL customer service alone, never mind the extra years guarantee.

Super hot.

.

Sweet. Was just talking to the Mrs about getting one. Ordered.

Heat from me.

Thanks - ordered click and collect

1 speed setting and pulse function. NO TURBO FUNCTION

As well as a great increase in noise according to reviews which is why i chose bl450 instead of bl480

ordered thanks!

I own a BL450UK (as stated in title for this deal) and have just bought one of these for my parents. Unless I'm missing something there are no settings, you just press and hold the cup down to blend. The ninja pro has buttons as well as an elevated price tag. Hope this helps.

damn, still got the John Lewis one for £50 unopened and still wrapped.

I just ordered with no issues, collecting in store tomorrow (website is very fiddly though). Thanks for the tip!

When I select delivery or collection as tomorrow (the earliest possible date) I get message saying that the item is no longer on promotion from that time so I will be charged more

I've bought the Salter Red 1000 Watt NutriPro Blender from Wilko for £40 and a 2nd set of cups for £8.99 from Robert Dyas using this code: RDNEWS10

http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/salter-nutri-pro-accessory-pack-black

:smiley:

Okay thanks for the advice I'll try less fruit next time

Nice. I paid the same price for the 700w model!!!

John Lewis might price match even if already bought, worth a try.

Great offer, awful website. Also, is the description for a different model? Unless I am missing something, this model does not have a 'turbo button' or 'two settings to extract nutrients'.

Thanks, got it for £42 with click and collect

chose a £1 delivery slot and it states £6.95 when I log in. Hmm, will leave it I think!

Does anybody have a contact for new blades for these ? I've looked and I am struggling to find one.

bought too thanks op

Can't wait to start extracting hidden nutrition!

This is not guaranteed, as its picked on the shop floor

Thanks. Total disaster of a site but got there in the end.

Thanks, ordered.

Got this from JL just before xmas and it's still in its box. Do you think I should return and purchase for £7 cheaper or is it worth keeping for the extra 1 year warranty?

Great deal.

How do you choose click and collect on that site?

Good deal, got this before crimbo from John Lewis at £50, and I still think that's a bargain!

I can confirm that the Ninja is easy to clean - the cups and blade all go in the dishwasher with no fuss! This was an important issue as to whether I bought this or not. Really easy stuff! :sunglasses:

Thanks Chanchi appreciated

Great deal Chanchi. Best one today so far :smiley:

will do i normally use a tin of tomatoes and 200mls of water in my sauce so that hopefully will be enough liquid. Also I might sneak some celery in. Trial and error, but thanks for the warning, don't want to burn it out before I even start. I learnt over Christmas when I used a hand blender and padded it out with red peppers that pureed mince is disgusting. Never again. I am roasting then boiling the veg, hopefully with this it will be a lot faster. Probably more energy efficient as well. Though the increased methane from the farting may counteract the energy savings for the planet.

Stuck for ideas for blending materials?

Try Blendtec:

Thanks for the help mate, appreciate that :smile:

Great price, i got the John Lewis deal,

I tried blending carrots with apples absolutely useless.

also got one before Xmas with the JL deal...used it loads already so well worth this price. extra year warranty at JL was pretty nice too though and probably worth the extra 7 quid

Thank you HOT

moulana i think you should order it :smiley:

How does this compare to a nutri bullet??

Ah, I get it now. Thank you.

No, there are various delivery slots. Some for £1, usually after 4.30pm.

Thanks and heat added. Just bought one after considering for a while. Nice juice on my 5am commute!

Thank you! Found the eVoucher but now it states £4 extra for delivery making the total £46 & not £43, is this correct?

That's exactly what I want...many thanks

so is this 900watt motor or 700 watt motor ?

Top left of page

Note of caution, if you have had stomach ulcers or problems see a doctor before using as caused my ulcers to reappear with all fruit acid. Great machine, just be cautious.

heat added, that will get my kids eating veg without knowing it. Hopefully I can puree carrots and onions in it and put it into bolognese sauce. Hopefully delivered tomorrow morning for £4 extra, nearly went into town to Wilko, but I bet they would not have the other one.I will take back the £6 basic hand blender I bought yesterday. Lets hope I use it lots.

Great deal, I opened an Sainsbury's account to buy but I can't see where tyo put the code in?
Can anyone tell me please?

Was searching for a deal on this model this morning but couldn't find anything in my price range.Really grateful you took the time to post.Being delivered tomorrow thank you :-)

The salter one is excellent I've been using it since Christmas Day some frozen banana strawberries blueberries and top up with apple juice personal favourite at the moment.

Just ordered one for myself. Hot :smiley:

What's comes with it?

Sounds like you're trying to blend too much to be honest. Not just for the blender to cope with but also in terms of a sensible amount of fruit to have in one go if you're also then adding juice. That sounds like a lot of sugar to take in a single serving.

Most recommended recipes are 2 or 3 80g portions of fruit and chuck some other ingredients like oats, 100% peanut butter, linseed / flax seed and greek yoghurt with water or milk.

I blend frozen mango, carrot banana and apple in it every day. Sticking to 2 or 3 80g servings in each smoothie has never caused any struggle to blend up in about 30 seconds with then say 5x 2 second pulse blends to get the consistency a little less thick.

Great deal.just ordered

Been looking to buy one of these for a few weeks and was going to buy the 1000w model for £70. My girlfriend already owns this model and it's brilliant. £43 is a fantastic deal so it's heat added, ordered and delivery booked for Tuesday night!

Ice isn't liquid

Ice is a solid

own the 700w and it's brilliant, gutted this is only £3 more than what i paid for the 700w

Yes same product the ninja professional. I cut up about a weeks worth of fruit then put it in the freezer. I fill the blender about 3/4 with fruit and add juice. It won't blend on the first attempt I have to wait at least 20-30 minutes then come back to it. Maybe I cut the fruit to big I don't know, definitely no bigger than a standard Ice cube per chunk.

I'm sure this thing will crush through frozen berries straight away, try apple, pinapple and more solid fruit.. Mine doesn't cur through it.

i tried adding some water but it was tasteless and took a long time until it got crunched properly

Considering ice is liquid....

I bought some of these over Christmas and was just wondering something - Are you able to blend solid ice on it's own with no liquid or will this damage the blade?

The reason I ask, is because it states clearly in the manual that you shouldn't under any circumstances blend any dry ingredients without liquid but later mentions making 'snow' from ice in the troubleshooting section and saying to make sure the container is totally dry before blending... (?) :neutral_face:

I'm confused and wouldn't want to break the blade or anything?

Got this for the wife when £49 she loves it this is a fantastic deal

These reviews on Amazon.co.uk might help?

Salter Nutri Pro (Silver)

Salter Nutri Pro (Red)

Generally looks to be a decent device, with the majority of reviews being positive

I bought this from the last sale. Its great but not sure why guys on here advertises it as an ice crusher, no where in the manual or the box does it say this. The 700w lite has a picture of ice on the box unlike this one so I'm not sure why this has become a thing to say here lol.
It also takes about 30 minutes to blend frozen fruit as you have to wait for it to thaw out a bit.

Got for £50 from John Lewis at Christmas. Really good used daily since we got it. We use ours with frozen fruit every day, straight in it obliterates it in a couple of seconds ready to drink straight away.

Wot's up ..chichi? I can make my carrot juice with this one, great price :laughing:

want to know how it compares with the salter

Cold not Nutribullet.

Fantastic machine, got mine just after xmas Homebase for £50 after returning a faulty breville active. Well worth the money will crush everything and doesn't hammer the motor, would recommend spending the little extra for a more powerful motor 700w plus and your covered to do everything. The beakers are quite big though but I just decant into sports bottles for walking. Great price op voted hot.

I got the JL £50 deal, and it has been in use daily. Cleans easily, has changed our eating habits and I can not talk highly enough of it. Not a juicer and you keep the fibre, but ice, juice, spinach, shakes, bircher musli, kale, smoothies.. Makes easy work of them all, and the clean up is so much easier than a traditional blender.

Many thanks - about £70 on Amazon . just ordered

I picked one of these up on offer for £50 and at this price it's even more of a bargain. Honestly if you want a blender don't waste your time with the ~£20 300W jobs which will leave your smoothies full of undrinkable bits just stump up and get a reasonably powerful unit like this that can actually handle seeds and the skin of fruit.

Great find, I was about to spend £70 on this today. Had to get my laptop out to complete the order as the website is very iPad/iPhone unfriendly but got there in the end. Heat!

Heat! Great price with new customer code, but I'm already a customer :disappointed:

Many thanks for posting mate. Ordered.

This is the Which best buy when they tested nutribullet and similar blenders.

Head added :smiley:

:stuck_out_tongue: Sadly not - although ask me again after Wednesday when the Lucky Dip entry I won last night wins big! Pretty sure that's guaranteed. :smile:

Ordered. Had been looking for a while and this deal made my mind up. Thanks.

Spot of cash over night eh - something you want to share Morgie http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35265269

Thanks Chanchi - I've come into a spot of cash over night, so may as well start spending! :laughing: Could take a while though with purchases at this amount!

On a more serious note, anyone have any experience of this VS the Salter Nutri Pro 1000? (Looks to be cheapest at Wilkinsons at £40 - http://www.wilko.com/blenders-food-mixers+processors/salter-nutri-pro-silver/invt/0423079 ). That one looks to get a lot of good reviews, including a recommendation on the Beeb in 'What to Buy and Why'.

Ordered ,many thanks.

Just had a Nutri Bullet fail on me, so this is perfect. Having used both I would certainly recommend this over the bullet. Thanks for the post.

I just ordered one :smiley: thanks for the find

nice find chanchi, heat added :smiley:

good job i did not open the one I ordered from John Lewis yet. It is going back. £7 in my pocket is better than in theirs

Just after some extra cups almost worth buying this and selling the base!
I have the BL490 its insanely noisy but crushes anything

this is gonna get well hot. good find op

Would I lose the ability to use new customer order on groceries if I bought this?
Great price heat added.

These are brilliant. They crush ice in seconds and are really easy to clean.

Just ordered. Brilliant. Thanks

Great price!! I paid £90 last Christmas.

Superb!! Thankyou - been looking for one and no deal impressed - ordered!!

Good machine. Had the John Lewis deal before Christmas. Even better at this price.
