I have a smoothie maker. I bought it when it was on special offer and in three or four years have used it exactly zero times 
Maybe this summer.
Mind you, I can't have fruit when low carbing so maybe not. |

Smoothie makers have a tap at the bottom, blenders you have to pour the results out. That is the only difference between a blender and a smoothie maker I can see. It might be worth comparing the power of the motors to see if a smoothie maker is more powerful. |

"What's the difference? Which is better?
If I wanted to use frozen berries which would be better to get?
Dont want to spend a fortune but want one that's up to the job. "
I bought a blender from asda for £15 just this week to make smoothies with..it has a pulse action and two speed settings and has so far coped with all my son's weird and wonderful concoctions  |

With the super duper blenders....you can make soup as they spin so fast that they start cooking what they're blending, also you don't get any bits that haven't blended which can happen with less powerful models, it takes about 30 seconds to blend everything, including the tiny seeds on a strawberry apparently, and they clean themselves too... You just add a bit of washing up liquid to some water, put it into the jug and switch it on.
They do cost at least £250 to buy though. |

As far as power is concerned: the vitamix, blendtec and enpee apparently have motors that have over 1500watts of power and spin from 10 to around 300mph ...very good for green smoothies..
All 3 seem to have great reviews on amazon ...coming with massive warranties...5-7 years.
There's a nutribullet which is a relatively cheaper alternative, though by all accounts, not as robust as the above. |

Love smoothies but u need to be careful not to overdo the sugar.
So I now add beetroot, carrots,spurulina, flaxseed, and stuff low in sugar.
Carrot, apple and beetroot is nice. |
