SHARDOR smoothie blender

I bought this machine primarily for mixing smoothies but it can do so much more. Initially I was concerned that "after using for a minute allow to cool for two to three minutes" but I can't imagine what would need a minute of use; the motor is very strong and the blades efficient and robust and make short work of the ingredients. The design is down to personal taste but I like the retro type look and even with a modern kitchen it doesn't look out of place and nor does it take up much room. The mixing jug surprised me; I never took much interest in micro or nano plastics (maybe I should but it's just another thing that's probably too ingrained in the system to change) and whether the jug being made of glass or not didn't effect whether I purchased it or not. However, that jug is solid, heavy glass and appears so strong; and it's simple to clean. All in all, although I could have bought slightly cheaper, I do not regret buying this machine and am very pleased with it.

SHARDOR may sound more like a character from a Harry Potter novel than a brand of blender – and I’d certainly never heard of them before – but it turns out they make rather decent kitchen appliances.There were SO many blenders to choose from on Amazon, I spent a very long time comparing them all. (I hope this review makes that process a little easier for others.)I’ve just started drinking protein shakes and wanted a machine that could easily crush ice. This blender does that so easily I’m left wondering if it was developed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.It also looks incredibly stylish and comes with a glass jug, which I prefer to plastic. I’m far from an expert on blenders but this product has really impressed me thus far; I’ll add updates if anything changes.One thing to mention: it’s a little tricky putting the base with the blades back on the jug after cleaning, as you have to tilt it slightly to get it in, but I expect it will get easier with practise. Fortunately, this was made clear in the Amazon description, so I was expecting it.Sent an email to Shardor to extend the warranty to two years and they replied promptly with a very nice message. It seems they also provide great customer service!

For many years, I have been using plastic protein shake blenders. Upon reading many recent research findings on microplastics and nanoplastics, I decided to eliminate all plastic bottles, containers and blenders. This product is among very few blenders in the market that have a glass jug and are relatively compact for my small kitchen. It has plenty of power for my needs; I only blend milk or water with protein powder for breakfast cereal and pre-workout shakes. The customer service is good, responding to the confirmation of two years extended warranty. It is quieter than my previous plastic blenders from a well-known brand. Cleaning is straightforward, without needing to unscrew the blade cap for every use.

Initially, I was highly impressed with this blender—efficient, well-designed, great blending quality, and no leakage. However, after less than two months of use, I turned it on one morning to make a smoothie, and the bottom of the jug suddenly started burning. Within moments, the unit began to smoke. I immediately switched it off and packed it up for a return.

Blender works well. Blades are good and blends a lot of things fast and well. Nice weight and the glass jug is a nice touch. Not too loud also.Knocking a star as it can be hard to clean as little bits get in the bottom below the blades which makes it a pain to clean

This is the best blender I have bought. I was looking for a blender that comes with glass jar and found this. I do use it for making my smoothies, tomato puree, ginger garlic paste, chutneys, idli/dosa batter and it works very well. It’s easy clean too.

It’s just what I wanted so quick and powerful and not to big and a good price

Its good enough, especially for a budget blender. I needed a smaller countertop blender as I have a tiny kitchen, and it fits perfectly. The jug fits on a little wonky though, and it does look a bit plasticcy and cheap (this is only an aesthetic issue though).It fits enough to make a good sized smoothie (mine are usually up to a pint).It does struggle with some things- kale was a bit too stalky and it left big chunks in, for blending ice or anything a bit more solid it needs a LOT of liquid.It is easy to clean, and easy to use, and has non-slip feet. I like the little latch thing on the lid that you twist off to add bits in.Have been very much enjoying my smoothies since purchasing :)EDITING March 2025- I purchased in June 2024 and the blender is broken already and irreparable. It also got harder to keep clean as it has grooves that you can't get into to clean but that food would build up in.
