This Lidl £29.99 blender looks good value compared to other currently available Blender Deals - especially if you want to try blending for the first time
Telegraph review - 5/5 awarded See #2
3 Year Warranty
Blends and crushes ingredients – ideal for quickly preparing smoothies, dips, sauces and desserts
Cross-blade attachment easily blends fruit and vegetables, while the flat-blade attachment is perfect for chopping harder foods, herbs and grains
With 2 removable blending tumblers and 3 different lids, including travel lid for fresh smoothies on the go
Includes a recipe booklet full of delicious, nutritious ideas to help you on your way to 5 a day
Powerful 700W motor capable of up to 19000rpm
Blending tumbler capacity(ml): 350 and 700
Price: £29.99 from Lidl (in store only)
Comes with: two beakers, small and large, as against the Nutribullet’s three, but it does have an on-the-go drink through lid, unlike the Nutribullet. Two blades.
Wattage: 700W
Maximum run time: 60 seconds
Guarantee: 3 years
Does it stay on without continually pressing down?: Yes
Pros: Less than half of the price of a Nutribullet. Has a powerful motor which creates an effective vortex with the ingredients, meaning there’s less scraping down to do. Excellent results.
Cons: Hard to think of any – no record to indicate how long it will last, although the three year guarantee is encouraging.
The Scores
· Smoothie – Fairly fine texture and flavour, pulverizing all the seeds and skin 5/5
· Hummus – Super smooth with an airy, almost whipped consistency. Unlike the other blenders, no need to stop the machine and tap the mixture down. 5/5
· Almond milk – creamy milk, with a small amount of very fine almond pulp left in the muslin after straining. 5/5
· Margarita – a good smooth consistency, but a bit runnier than the Nutribullet. 4/5
OVERALL: Even without factoring in the lower price, this one was the best performer of the four.A genuine bargain. 5/5

just bought this last week from Amazon, fantastic blender, very powerful and blends smoothies in a few seconds. would recommend smoothie packs from Iceland (£2 for 4 portions of banana/kale/mango or carrot/Pineapple/papaya) if you're ultra lazy like me

Does anyone know if it's good in grinding nuts, seeds and grains?

I maybe wrong, but I'm sure the one Aldi is selling is 1200 watt so more powerful than this.
