Amazon shoppers swap Ninja for Tefal blender that's a fraction of the price

Bargain hunters on Amazon are swapping their premium Ninja blenders for a more wallet-friendly Tefal model that's just as efficient but comes at a fraction of the cost. The high-end Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro is priced at £119, but Tefal's Blendforce II Blender is stealing the spotlight with its current price tag.

Now reduced to £38, instead of the usual down from its original £49.99, that's £81 cheaper than the Ninja model. It's proving to be a hit on Amazon, with over 3,000 units sold last month alone. 

Customers have two versions to choose from: the plastic jar blender at the bargain price of £29.99 or an upgraded glass jar version, which has been reduced from £69.99 to £51. The Tefal Blendforce II boasts a 1.25L capacity and is versatile enough for smoothies, sauces, and soups, thanks to its built-in air cooling system that ensures the motor stays cool during operation.

One satisfied customer exclaimed: "It is much better than the Ninja blender we had; I can't fault it."

Another praised the product, saying: "Quick delivery and securely packaged. Excellent value for money, easy to set up and use, does the job well. This Tefal blender costs about £31 but is much better than the 1500w Ninja Duo 2-in-1 Blender, costing about four times as much. I received it this week and used it twice. I will edit this review if it does not live up to my initial review." reports Birmingham Live.

A satisfied customer praised the blender, saying: "This blender is real quality. My Ninja blender gave up the ghost, but I wanted a glass base. It is a solid piece of kit but brilliant."

However, not all feedback was glowing, as one buyer encountered problems with the glass jar model, noting: "Nothing wrong with the blending, but the glass jug has a design flaw. I bought the glass jug version because it was less likely to scratch than the plastic jug version."

They continued their critique: "I liked it, but the smoothie got stuck between the glass jar and the plastic rim. It was impossible to clean it out, so I returned it and bought the plastic jug version, which has a different design. The jug and plastic rim are bonded together so food can't get stuck. Pretty happy for the price paid."

Ninja blenders have carved out a reputation for being robust and dependable, with many customers expressing their satisfaction. On Ninja's official website, a customer shared their positive experience: "A very good product, with clear instructions. Well made, sturdy, with a well-designed blade. It blends, chops, and pulses foods in seconds."

Another enthusiast, self-proclaimed as a kitchen gadget fan, said: "I'm a kitchen gadget person, love to buy new products (and use them). I was looking for a powerful blender, and Ninja didn't disappoint. This is my third Ninja product, and every time, I love this brand even more. Milkshakes, smoothies and crushed ice in no time. Great for vegetables. Powerful enough to grind poppy seeds (lost a few grinders by doing it). Highly recommend and definitely."

When it comes to specifications, Tefal's Blendforce II Blender boasts a 600W motor, four sturdy stainless-steel blades, and a tapered jug design. It's also capable of crushing ice and features four suction pads on the base for stability during use.

The blender offers two-speed settings (plus pulse) and a rotary dial for custom blending. If you're in the market for something more compact, Argos is selling the Magic Bullet Deluxe Blender for £50.

Perfect for whipping up smoothies, this blender also functions as a mini food processor. Meanwhile, Lakeland offers its own-brand Tabletop Blender for £74.99, which includes a grinder attachment.
