Braun PowerBlend 9

Our take
Braun's PowerBlend 9 punches well above its price: RTINGS clocked class-leading blending, and T3 and TechRadar both rave about its versatility. The triangular jug genuinely improves the pull-down, and it copes with hot soup and ice with ease — just expect some noise at full tilt.
