where is it on special, I have one and love it, my daughter is going flatting and has requested one for her birthday so am on the lookout for a good price.
They're also the same price at payless plastics at the moment. I would only use it for baby food and smoothies. Anyone know what the capacity is in mls? It just says the measurements of the cups in cm but how many mls does it hold?

250 mls- they arebit bigger , but you need room for expansion while whizzing.
And there is a smaller on as well. The juicer that comes with it does not work

Thanks I have also gone online and ordered in time for daughters birthday and flatting, she has requested one to take to her new flat - I use mine all the time, and son is always making a power milkshake and putting it in the fridge, I make a great pancake mix just the right amount for 3 teenagers and they love that as well.

I thought it was absolutely hopeless.Ended up donating it to the local hospice shop.Might be OK for a single flatter though.No good for family food prep.

Also good for making bread crumbs, garlic paste, homemade herbed salts, tonnes of things, but we have a small family and I would agree with an eariler post - that it may not be suitable for bigger families, although you can whip up a heap of cream in less than 10 seconds...no joke!

1 cc (cubic centimetre) is exactly the same as 1 ml (millilitre).It's the definition of the units.

I still have one but moved up to the Ninja as well... doesn't turn onions into mush and actually cuts up veges as it should because of the double blades...bigger units and much more family orientated.. and can make snow from ice cubes with minimun of fuss... http://www.ninjakitchen.com/NinjaMasterPrep.shtml?tabID=detailsCont I have 2 pitchers and 2 small units...

Try whipping up cream with frozen berries and a little sweetener of choice.Nice easy dessert.Or use cottage cheese and frozen berries for a healthy option.Just like soft serve ice-cream.Very nice.

I use mine for fruit smoothies, they are great and easy to clean. They also make great cold milo. Awesome for making salsa and guacamole as well.

It would be great if they came with more lids. The juicer is useless.
