'Amazing' Tefal blender that left shoppers 'genuinely impressed' down by 43%
The Tefal Blendforce II Blender, now £39.99, offers power, versatility, and a sleek 2L glass jug for everyday cooking. Blenders have become an essential kitchen tool for those looking to prepare smoothies, soups, sauces, and more with minimal effort. The Tefal Blendforce II Blender aims to combine power, versatility, and ease of use, making it a practical choice for everyday cooking and healthy meal prep. Available on Amazon for £39.99, down 43% from its regular price of £69.99, the Tefal Blendforce II Blender comes in a sleek black finish with a 2-litre glass jug and 1.25-litre effective capacity. Its 800W motor drives four removable Powelix stainless-steel blades, designed for fast and efficient blending. Users can choose between two speeds or the pulse function, whether crushing ice, making smoothies, or blending hot soups. The thermal shock-resistant glass jug handles temperatures up to 80°C, while the built-in air cooling system keeps the motor from overheating. A 3-in-1 smart lock simplifies assembly, secures the blades automatically, and allows safe cleaning, while suction cups keep the unit stable during use. For those looking at alternatives, the Philips HR2041/01 ProBlend 1.9L Plastic Jug Blender is available for £30 at Argos with a 4.4-star rating from 1,127 reviews. Another option is the Ninja BN495UK 2 Piece Auto IQ Personal Blender, priced at £100 at Argos and rated 4.8 from 532 reviewers. While these models offer similar functionality, the Tefal Blendforce II is noted for its glass jug and robust Powelix blades, giving it a unique edge for some users. Customer feedback reflects a generally positive response with some caveats. One reviewer shared, 'I wasn't expecting too much at this price point, but I've been genuinely impressed. Assembly was straightforward, and it's surprisingly quiet when running, much quieter than my old one. The juice comes out smooth, with very little pulp.' Another added, 'Amazing blender, heavy glass jug, sturdy and well put together. Two speeds and pulse. Great for smoothies and soups. Very versatile, easy to clean, dishwasher safe. Highly recommended.' Daily users also praised its performance: 'Used daily to make smoothies, easily blends frozen fruit, mixes well. It's a little loud but then again you're blending frozen fruits. Good value for breakfast protein smoothies before the gym.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

On top of that, the plastic cover at the base broke just a few days after purchase.' Another reviewer warned about its limitations: 'This is good if you're making a full smoothie or something similar. It's terrible for making pesto. Don't expect much from this blender. I'm buying another more powerful one.' Overall, the Tefal Blendforce II Blender offers a reliable and versatile blending experience for smoothies, soups, and general kitchen tasks, although some users note durability and performance limitations with certain ingredients.

There's even an auto-cleaning programme and a quiet mode. The package includes two durable blending bottles (0.7L and 0.4L), both dishwasher safe and designed for portability. With Tefal's 15-year repair promise and global repair network, it's also built with long-term use in mind. If you're considering other compact blender options, the Ninja QB3001UKS Slim Blender and Smoothie Maker is also popular, currently £49.99 at Argos (with an additional 20 per cent off using the NINJA20 code), and has a 4.8-star rating from over 1,000 reviews. Meanwhile, the Nutribullet Portable Blender - Black is available at £33.99 on Currys, slightly cheaper and suited to those who prioritise portability. But if you prefer the Tefal Blend Up Mini Blender, then you're not alone, it's drawn praise for punching above its weight in performance and design. Rated 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 5,900 reviews, the Blend Up is being applauded for its design, functionality, and ease of use. Users who've tested it have been vocal in their reviews. One person wrote they were "genuinely impressed", adding: "The juicer arrived well packaged and felt sturdier than I'd imagined. Assembly was straightforward, and it's surprisingly quiet when running, much quieter than my old one. "So far, I've tried it with apples, carrots, and even some leafy greens, and it's handled everything well. The juice comes out smooth, with very little pulp." Another five-star reviewer said: "Used daily to make smoothies, easily blends frozen fruit, blends well, mixes well, is a little loud but then again your blending frozen fruits. Good value for those breakfast protein smoothies before the gym." Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. Someone else also found the sound a bit of an issue. They said: 'It blends frozen fruit with ease. It's a bit loud, but that's expected when dealing with ice.' And one reviewer found it lacked the strength for finer textures, saying: 'It's terrible for making pesto. Even shaking the blender didn't help. It couldn't handle raspberry seeds either.' But a satisfied customer echoed the other praise, calling it an 'amazing blender' and highlighting its 'heavy glass jug' and versatility for everything from smoothies to soups.
