Budget blender with real muscle, now at its lowest ever price

Yes — the Tefal Blendforce II Blender is a solid buy if you’re after a £35 jug blender with decent power, strong user reviews, and a feature set that covers the basics: smoothies, shakes, and a bit of ice crushing. With a 4.4/5 rating from 5,863 reviews, 30% off the £49.99 RRP, and a live £3.80 coupon, the price is hard to argue with for a UK kitchen.

First impressions: simple, practical, and made for everyday use

The Blendforce II comes with a 2L plastic jug (1.25L effective capacity), which is pretty handy for family smoothies or batch blending, but it doesn’t hog all your counter space like some of the bigger machines out there.

With 600W of power, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for daily blending, and the design is all about convenience: removable stainless steel blades, dishwasher-safe parts, an easy-to-grab handle, and a lid with a filling hole that just makes life easier.

That’s a big deal for a UK worktop, honestly. A compact blender with a straightforward plug-and-play setup is just easier to live with than a massive soup maker or one of those towering high-performance blenders.

The black finish helps it blend in (pun intended?) with most kitchens, without drawing too much attention or dominating your counter.

What do the key features actually mean in use?

Tefal’s 600W motor and four stainless-steel blades do the heavy lifting here. The brand says it can handle smoothies, thick milkshakes, and even crushed ice, and with two speeds plus a pulse function, you get some flexibility to start slow and ramp up for a smoother finish.

That’s handy if you want to blend softer fruit first, then blitz through frozen stuff or ice at the end.

The tapered jug? Surprisingly helpful — it nudges ingredients toward the blades instead of letting them get stuck at the sides.

Stability looks well thought out too: four suction feet help keep things steady when you’re blending at full tilt, and the built-in air-cooling system should help the motor last longer by keeping it from overheating.

Safety-wise, the lock system keeps the jug locked down tight, and the filling hole in the lid means you can add stuff while it’s running without popping the whole lid off. That’s a nice touch for sauces, dressings, or last-minute smoothie tweaks.

How does it perform for smoothies, ice, and shakes?

On paper, this blender covers what most people actually need: fruit smoothies, milkshakes, and light ice crushing. The 600W motor doesn’t compete with the 1000W Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker or the 1200W Ninja BN750UK, so don’t expect it to churn out ultra-smooth nut butters or handle heavy-duty frozen stuff every day.

For standard blend-and-go kitchen jobs, it matches the price pretty well.

A 4.4/5 rating from 5,863 reviews really suggests most buyers get what they’re hoping for. That’s a good sign for a budget blender, especially when it’s shifting over 3,000 units a month and sits at #338 in its category.

Is the build quality good?

The build focuses on practicality, not fancy materials. The 2L jug is plastic, not glass — lighter and easier to handle, but it won’t feel as premium as the 1.7L glass jug on the Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker.

Removable blades and dishwasher-safe parts are a win for anyone who hates cleanup, and those suction feet should keep it stable on smooth counters.

The trade-off is clear: this is a value blender, not a luxury showpiece. If you’re after something heavy, premium, and packed with automatic programs, you’ll spot the difference right away.

Is it good value for money?

At £35.00, it’s tough to beat if you want a reliable jug blender and don’t fancy spending more than £50. The current price is the lowest it’s ever been, and since the average is also £35.00, you’re not getting stung by timing.

With the 30% off versus the £49.99 RRP and that extra £3.80 coupon, the deal feels even sweeter.

Stack it up against the competition, and the value really stands out. The Ninja 700W Slim Blender is £52.68 and only comes with two 470ml cups, not a family-sized jug.

The Ninja BN750UK is £115.00, and the Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker is £129.99. Those offer more power and features, but you’re paying a lot more. For straightforward blending at a sensible price, the Tefal hits the sweet spot.

How does the Tefal Blendforce II compare to alternatives?

If you put it next to the Ninja 700W Slim Blender, the Tefal wins for capacity and that classic jug convenience, while the Ninja edges ahead with a bit more power and a 4.7★ rating.

Against the Ninja BN750UK, the Tefal is way cheaper but not as advanced — no automatic programs and less motor strength. Compared to the Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker, the Tefal is definitely the budget pick for cold blending only, while the Ninja adds hot blending and a heating element, but for a much steeper price.

If you just want a no-fuss blender for everyday stuff, the Tefal makes a strong case. If you’re chasing premium materials, more power, or special features, the Ninjas are in a different league altogether.

Final take

If you’re after an affordable, easy-to-clean blender for smoothies, shakes, or the odd bit of ice crushing, the Tefal Blendforce II just makes sense for most UK kitchens.

It’s got solid ratings, a wallet-friendly price, and enough features to deserve a look. But honestly, don’t expect it to out-muscle high-end Ninja models when it comes to raw power or versatility.
