‘Best blender’ and ‘game changer for busy mums’ food chopper are £170 off in bundle

‘I use this mostly to make smoothies and (it) does the job perfectly. It is so powerful, (has a) large capacity, both attachments work really well’

Shoppers are snapping up a blender that they say is the ‘best they have owned’ – and it’s currently discounted by a whopping £170 in a bundle with a food processor. The I-Master Series 7 5-in-1 Blender & Food Processor is currently available from Haier for £99, down from £269.

It comes in the colour obsidian grey and has 10 speeds and three BPA-Free Tritan jugs, making it ‘three machines in one’ – there’s a Multiserve Jar which can be used for everything from pizza dough to soups, a Chopper Bowl to cut vegetables and prepare creamy dips and spreads, and a Personal Jug to blitz up smoothies. There’s also a dedicated kneading program, which is ideal for those who want to make pastry or dough without the ‘strain of kneading by hand’.

Using AI technology, the brand says the blender automatically recognises jugs and blades, and it adjusts the torque, speed, and runtime for ‘excellent results every time’. It includes six automatic programmes tailored to various food preparations.

Plus, with its dishwasher-safe jugs and accessories, the blender is easy to clean and care for. Shoppers have the option to control the appliance remotely and follow step-by-step recipes through the hOn app, and there’s also a clear LCD screen with a rotating dial.

Whether shoppers are preparing family meals or batch cooking for the week ahead, the two-litre Multiserve Jug is large enough to prepare multiple portions, the brand says. The 0.7L Personal Jug and 0.5L Chopper bowl are also included.

As an alternative, however, there’s the Ninja Slim Blender and Smoothie Maker from Argos for £60. This one has a ‘powerful 700-watt motor’ and can easily blend whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and even ice, the site says.

Or for those with a higher budget, there’s the Nutribullet Blender Combo in dark grey from Currys for £114.99, down from £129.99. This has a capacity of 1.8 litres, three speed settings and it includes 10 accessories.

The I-Master Series 7 5-in-1 Blender & Food Processor has received many positive reviews from buyers. One said: “This is the best blender I have owned. I have been making smoothies daily in the smoothie jug and used the chopping facility to make an amazing jerk seasoning. I also had loads of dried chillies to use so chopped them into flakes using the chopping function too – so versatile. It’s incredibly easy to clean as well, all parts fit neatly into the dishwasher! Fab purchase!”

A second wrote: “This blender is the best! I use this mostly to make smoothies and (it) does the job perfectly. It is so powerful, (has a) large capacity, both attachments work really well, and sauces and smoothies come out perfectly smooth. Made some amazing bits, fast and efficient, easy to clean. This is used daily in my house for healthy smoothies to milkshakes and sauces. This is a dream to use. Perfectly designed. Quality piece of kit, powerful kitchen tool, it’s so handy in many ways! I recommend it for everyday. Delivery time was prompt.”

Others left some feedback, with one saying: “This is a great blender/food processor. Makes amazing smoothies and chops/blends effortlessly. My only criticism is that the instructions which come with the machine are not very easy to follow. I also would have liked a recipe book in order to get the best out of the machine. The footprint of the machine is not too big and it sits on my countertop without taking up too much space.”

However, overall, most were pleased with their purchase of the blender. Another said: “I got the Haier blender, as wanted to make smoothies. I absolutely love the smoothie maker aspect, and have been experimenting with crushed ice. At the weekend I made daiquiris (which were fabulous). However, for me, the game changer has been the chopper. As a busy mum of two, making home cooked meals after a full day at work is arduous and I often opt for something simple. The chopper makes chopping vegetables so simple, and I haven’t used a knife since I received this product. I highly recommend it – I made an onion and cucumber salad to go with my curry last night, and it took seconds to make. Brilliant product, dishwasher safe and simple to use. Would highly recommend!”
