Best allrounder
• Lakeland touchscreen
This model offers the simplicity of a basic soup-maker with versatility for a wider range of uses. Because you can see the contents through the jug, it’s easy to decide how coarse or fine you want your mixture, plus it has a pause button for adding more ingredients as you go. The ice-crushing setting proved great for smoothies, plus there are different speeds for making purées, baby food, cold sauces and dips. £99.99, Lakeland
