  • interested on the dishwasher, opinion anyone?

    • I'd like to know also

    • +1

      Dishwasher is a basic Chinese manufactured dishwasher. Probably comes from the same factory as Fisher & Paykel, Haier, Technika and half of the others on the market. It will have poor wash performance and poor efficiency and likely last just longer than it's warranty. When it breaks, repairs will be difficult as many appliance service companies will not work on this brand.
      In short it is worth, at most, what they are charging for it. If you can't afford better then go for it. If you can afford better; Miele, Bosch and LG would be better value over time due to quality and/or service costs.

        I have the white version of this dishwasher bought six weeks ago (would've liked the silver).
        It's reasonably quiet, does a great job, takes enough plates and dishes in a setting.

        It's a dishwasher.

        Friggin' good value…..

        • Friggin' good value…..

          It's not "friggin good value" if it dies and requires replacement after 3 years.

  • How good is the blender? Other similar brand would cost $299.

  • That blender makes soup too apparently! http://www.kuchef.com.au/product-categories/juicer/professio…

    Wonder if it actually has a heating element or just gets really hot lol.

    • No heating element according to their video preview.

      You need to add boiling water to make soup.

      • +2

        You need to add boiling water to make soup.

        So you can just use any blender then…

        • No - only high powered blenders, else the soup loses heat faster than the blade's friction creates it.

      • Some blenders heat food with friction of the blades. With a 1.39kW motor it probably can.

        • yup. that's how all the knockoff vitamixes work.

        • +3

          and also how the genuine vitamix works

        • true - was just being careful not to conflate this with an actual vitamix.

          Also, people with a $900 blender don't use it to make soup. Because that's retarded.

        • I have a Blendtec and I make soup with it. Usually I roast some of the vegetables first though.
          I guess I must be retarded.

        • …do you not own a saucepan?

        • +2

          I sure do. My saucepan doesn't blend though.

  • The latter…

    Heating
    Your Professional Blender has the ability to heat up ingredients which makes it perfect
    for cooking soups in minutes. This process occurs by friction produced from the rapid
    rotation of the blades. In most cases the heating process will take between 5 to 10
    minutes once the ingredients are puréed. Refer to the soup section of the recipe book for
    detailed instructions.

  • Professional Blender $99

    So which Professionals actually use this ?

    • Boost juice.

      • So pimple faced teenagers use it then…

      • Boost uses Vitamix belnders

        • They use Blendtec

  • The blender could be better than the nutri bullet.

    • +1

      Can it "Turn Ordinary Food Into Superfood" though…

      • I think you're confusing mere blender with nutrient extractor jv…those honest sounding adverts reliably inform that the process occurs at a sub-atomic level, thereby harnessing the power of ummm, somethingorother!

        Sounds legit to me…

      • High power blenders can supposedly make certain nutrients more available because they rupture various materials (like cellulose) that are generally impermeable inside the body.

        It's like swallowing a vitamin pill wrapped in plastic - not gonna work unless you destroy the plastic packaging first, which is what high power blenders are purported to do by some.

    • Can anybody confirm if this would be as good as nutri bullet?

      • That is kind of like asking if cancer of the lung is better than cancer of the prostrate.

  • Blender looks powerful. Could it be used to mince/puree meat? I recently tried but returned a food processor from this deal.

    Edit: recipe book mentions mincing cubed meat for a bolognaise sauce so I might try it given the generous store return policy.

    • +1

      Aldi also sells mincers, you might get better results from that with meat.

    • Use the right tool for the job.

      Mincer: Mincing stuff - tick!
      Food processor - processing stuff - tick!
      Blender: blending stuff - cross!

    If the blender has the 60 day satisfaction warranty it would be well worth a try.
    My wife purchased the Vitamix which is fantastic but extremely overpriced in my view.
    Just had a look and the vitamix runs at 37,000rpm where this unit runs at 22,000rpm-25,000rpm but not sure if that would make too much of a difference.

    • +1

      you also need to look at blade size in addition to rpm. rpm X length of blade = extreme blade velocity :p

    • I'm a happy vitamix user but this blender seems like a no-brainer to me and I might get it as a spare.

      60 days to muck around with it, then 5 years to torture it under warranty. Can't lose!

  • That cooking pack really is amazing value - most ceramic cooktops with touch control cost more then the entire package price. If I was building a new unit for resale id be all over it.

  • Any idea if the jug of the blender under the 5 yrs warranty?

    • I think it's included.

  • Got Blender today. Great for the price. Will keep it.

  • blender is the same as this

    http://www.spectablend.com/products/spectablend-white

    which has some good reviews

    http://www.productreview.com.au/p/spectablend-bl-001.html

    so I guess it would be worth it given the significantly lower price

    -Edit. Actually looking closer it appears to be lower specced model, but still, large price delta

  • The professional blender was all sold out in 5 of my nearby stores.
