    interested on the dishwasher, opinion anyone?

    • andyman1908 on 24/05/2014 - 21:31

      I'd like to know also

      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…..

        • pmupsinep on 25/05/2014 - 12:36

          Friggin' good value…..

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

  • KOBH on 24/05/2014 - 20:41

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

  • Helenn on 24/05/2014 - 20:44

    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.

    • KOBH on 24/05/2014 - 20:53

      No heating element according to their video preview.

      You need to add boiling water to make soup.

      • jv on 24/05/2014 - 21:05

        You need to add boiling water to make soup.

        So you can just use any blender then…

        • afoveht on 25/05/2014 - 17:00

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

      • jimmej on 24/05/2014 - 22:16

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

        • jjcf on 24/05/2014 - 22:38

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

        • marquise on 25/05/2014 - 00:55
          +3

          and also how the genuine vitamix works

        • jjcf on 26/05/2014 - 13:38

          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.

        • marquise on 28/05/2014 - 23:59

          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.

        • jjcf on 29/05/2014 - 10:57

          …do you not own a saucepan?

        • marquise on 29/05/2014 - 11:21
          +2

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

  • Helenn on 24/05/2014 - 20:49

    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.

  • jv on 24/05/2014 - 21:04

    Professional Blender $99

    So which Professionals actually use this ?

    • KOBH on 24/05/2014 - 21:07

      Boost juice.

      • jv on 24/05/2014 - 21:08

        So pimple faced teenagers use it then…

      • lancedefrance on 24/05/2014 - 22:08

        Boost uses Vitamix belnders

        • lololo on 31/05/2014 - 18:48

          They use Blendtec

  • KOBH on 24/05/2014 - 21:05

    The blender could be better than the nutri bullet.

    • jv on 24/05/2014 - 21:08
      +1

      Can it "Turn Ordinary Food Into Superfood" though…

      • StewBalls on 24/05/2014 - 21:30

        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…

      • afoveht on 25/05/2014 - 16:51

        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.

    • amsaini15 on 25/05/2014 - 00:07

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

      • llama on 25/05/2014 - 00:12

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

  • samlor on 25/05/2014 - 07:50

    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.

    • StewBalls on 25/05/2014 - 08:25
      +1

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

    • jjcf on 26/05/2014 - 13:39

      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.

    • gunnny on 25/05/2014 - 13:36
      +1

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

    • afoveht on 25/05/2014 - 16:54

      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!

  • JuryWheel on 25/05/2014 - 14:26

    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.

  • Future Kids on 25/05/2014 - 14:41

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

    • KOBH on 25/05/2014 - 15:55

      I think it's included.

  • lololo on 31/05/2014 - 18:51

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

  • majord on 01/06/2014 - 00:48

    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

  • KOBH on 04/06/2014 - 21:38

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