For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Naturally, that compact design means the working liquid capacity is slightly on the small side at just 600ml in the 900ml jug. The on-the-go tumbler, which you can blend into directly, has the same working capacity so it’s a puzzle why the jug isn’t a little more generous. On the plus side, there are two speeds to choose from, giving this model more options than a single-speed design, and the jug is made from glass, which gives it a more robust feel. If you’re blending for the whole family, a larger jug makes sense. For blending soups, it’s worth getting a blender with a heat-proof jug of good capacity to allow room for steam. A specific soup programme will ensure you can blend safely without the risk of damage to your blender or your kitchen from hot liquids. What difference does a higher wattage make?

The difference between a smoothie maker and a blender is that smoothie makers make one drink at a time to minimise waste. Once your smoothie is ready, the jug turns into a cup, so you can grab and go. The parallels continue with the real-world championship, as ROKiT extend their support to become Title Partner to the ROKiT British F4 Esports Championship. Plastic jugs are lighter in weight but can become scratched and absorb odours over time. Glass jugs, on the other hand, are sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing, but can be very heavy when full. A high-quality BPA-free plastic such as Tritan is strong, light and looks like glass, offering the best of both worlds – but it can be pricey.

While you can crush small amounts of ice in this version, we’d suggest opting for a higher-powered model – such as the 900 series – if you’re planning on regularly using it for super-tough jobs. To find the best smoothie makers, our expert tester in the Runner's World Lab judged each machine for ease of use, leakage, design, clarity of instructions and the taste of the blended smoothie.

If you only have specific ingredients in your fridge, you can use the Pantry section of the app, manually tap in what you have and it will recommend suitable recipes.

What's more, if you're following a certain diet such as 'diabetic friendly' or want something specifically designed to boost energy, you can tailor which recipes the app recommends to you. If you’re in the market for a powerful, versatile blender that can chop, pulse and whizz through anything from fruits and veggies to nuts and ice cubes, then it’s worth saving up for the Boss To Go. This well-built and chic-looking blender is a cut above the average; fire up the Boss to Go’s 1000W motor, and it scythes through fruit and vegetables alike to create smooth, delicious soups, shakes and smoothies in a matter of seconds.

The jug is made from glass, which makes it heavier than some of the plastic designs, but it does come with a handle and non-drip spout for pouring, which all adds to its luxury feel. While it doesn't have a cleaning mode on board, it does features dishwasher safe parts that make it easy to keep fresh. The blade cannot be fully submerged in water either but it was easy to clean with washing up liquid and a hot running tap.

Pros: Hot and cold presets; cleaning mode; tamper included Cons: Bulky 5.6kg weight; jug cannot be submerged in water

Motorsport UK has an exciting vision and strategy set out for the future of Esports and this is a positive step on that journey. We’re looking forward to expanding our presence, engaging with the community and bringing them exciting opportunities like the ROKiT British F4 Esports Championship.” If you want a blender to take with you to the gym (or to purée baby food on the go) then a cordless blender in a more compact form will better suit your needs. Rechargeable cordless blenders are smaller and neater, but premium models can be as powerful and fully featured as their worktop counterparts. How many speed settings do I need? You will have to take care when cleaning up as the jug can't be submerged in water, but it does have a useful pre-set cleaning mode built in to minimise on the washing up.

In testing, the Nutribullet’s high-speed blades had no trouble with fibrous vegetables, nuts or seeds, whipping up a classic green smoothie in fewer than 30 seconds. Every smoothie or sauce blitzed came out silky-smooth and bright. What’s more, we found that smoothies made in the Nutribullet appeared to keep their colour and freshness for longer than those made in cheaper models.

It also has pre-set buttons for chopping, sautéing, blending and cooking soups in under 20 minutes - all from scratch. There are also manual settings so you can tailor your smoothies and soups and choose the speed and length of blend.
