The Smeg Hand Blender has been reduced to £70.65 on Yimbly, an online marketplace owned by Reach Plc, after a discount code was applied. Shoppers can use the code AUTUMN10 to bring the price down from its current £78.50, with the full retail price set at £88.95.
Features and specifications
The blender includes a powerful blending system with variable speed control and a turbo function, allowing users to switch between gentle mixing and tackling thicker mixtures. It comes with a durable stainless-steel blending arm and blades, along with Smeg's FlowBlend cutting system, which is designed to deliver smooth and consistent results. An anti-slip ergonomic handle adds comfort, and the device operates at speeds ranging from 8,150 to 14,850rpm. A twist-and-lock connection makes it easy to change compatible attachments.
For those wanting more versatility, Yimbly also offers the Smeg 3-in-1 Hand Blender for £107.96 with the code AUTUMN10, down from £119.95. This set is available in light blue, black, or cream and includes a graduated beaker, chopper, and wire whisk.
Shopper and expert reviews
The Smeg Hand Blender has received high ratings across different platforms. At AO, one shopper said: “Absolutely perfect. I bought it as a gift for my daughter and son in law as they had been talking about replacing their old blender and they are over the moon with it! Thank you for putting a smile on their face! (Not that they're usually miserable of course!) Perfect match to other Smeg products they already own.”
Another AO shopper commented on the larger set: "Just love this blender and with all the attachments included, it does most things my larger blender does... but saves a lot of washing up!"
Anya Gilbert at Good Food reviewed the full set, testing it on a frozen berry smoothie and mayonnaise recipe. She praised the motor's power, writing: "The lowest speed setting tackles both recipes without issue, but the blitz button is also satisfying to use on those large frozen chunks of fruit," and adding: "It's a truly efficient buy" that's "full of power and built to last."
Alternatives and considerations
Gilbert also noted the blender is "pricey" and "bulky to store." Another AO shopper wrote: “Really good product, robust. Does what it says but then more expensive than most so I’d expect that.”
Alternatively, buyers can opt for the Ninja Foodie 3-in-1 Hand Blender, Hand Mixer and Chopper for £104.99, down from £134.99 at Shark Ninja. This set includes a full-sized hand blender, hand mixer, and chopper. Morphy Richards also offers a Hand Blender Set with Masher for £49.99, down from £69.99, described as 'one of the best hand blenders on the market' and weighing only 1.36kg.
