Which is the best mulch maker?

This is a REALLY difficult question for the Modern Mid-life smoothie Monster.

I cannot honestly tell you, because I am a bloke!

I never want to compare products, I am not even slightly interested in the difference between wattage or how many types of blades they have, how many bloody beakers are in the box, or whether or not I can squeeze the juice out of a handful of kale. 

When it comes to the truth of the matter, us men simply couldn't think about anything that we could possibly care about less!

Well.....maybe that's just me.

I can tell you that the blender that I have been using, ever since starting to document this epic saga of mine, the one that I use is starting to lose its lustre.

There are countless different blenders that work better in one area and others that work well in other areas, and I could bore you with millions of facts and figures and you would be none the wiser. There ones that mulch, some that mix, some that extract (whatever that means) and some that juice.

They come with glasses, beakers, small cups, big cups, sports cups and cups with straws. 

There are blenders called bullets, blenders called ninjas.

So I'm not going to bore you by comparing all of these blenders, I will leave that to the idiots on the morning TVhows

I am going to tell you which one I currently have. Which is this one. The magic bullet.


At around £55 it's affordable and for a beginner, it's fairly versatile, with a large number of mixing glasses and cups with handles. It also has a large jug with a juicer option. Each of the cups also have lids so you can take your smoothies with you, and all with colourful screw-on rims.

Not bad, but I have found it hard to clean, and the blades have started to dull a little and are starting to rust at the axle. All this after 6months of continuous use.
