Blending and chopping
The nutribullet 600 Series makes great smoothies from frozen fruit and nuts, according to TechRadar, but has one speed and won’t crush ice well. The KitchenAid Mini Food Chopper is compact and quick for onions, breadcrumbs and dressings; TechRadar found it loud and pricey at full price, so it makes more sense on offer.
