Just started living on my own and need to start eating properly. Dont particularly like fruit so I'd thought of using a smoothie maker. Having checked with the argos catalogue I cant see the difference between a smoothie maker and blender, apart from price (blenders appear cheaper!) Any thoughts?

The blender will do the job as long as the ice isn't too big and you add it in slowly. The smoothy makers have a device to push the ice down onto the blades and usually a spigot at the bottom. If you have a blender, I wouldn't bother buying the smoothie maker.

Smoothie makers and blenders are the same thing. It's just a marketing ploy to sell you something else you don't need. One thing I would say is, that if you want to make smoothies, make sure whichever smoothie maker/blender has the ability to chop through ice. AND another tip, it's probably best to get a glass one rather than plastic as ice being spun and chopped at speed can actually break the plastic.

It is basically the same...you might get more power from a blender...especially if u want to crush ice more power can come in handy. Smoothie makers are more a marketing term for cheap blenders really :)
If you are looking for a good blender check out some tests here http://www.bestblenderforsmoothiesguide.com or just google it :)

A smoothie maker and a blender can both be used to make smoothies; just add 10 pieces of ice for your smoothie; a blender can be used to make alot of drinks; because it has more speeds to make alot of different drinks. Good luck

Some of the smoothie makers seem to have a little tap attached so you can decant the drink into a glass of your choosing. I think you are better off going for a half decent blender that it capable of crushing ice- much more useful in the kitchen for a variety of tasks. Can only think that the little tap would soon clog up anyway!

I just use a blender... its a blender that blends anything edible so why should it not do smoothies?
I think the industry likes to make up fads by inventing blenders called "Smoothie Blenders" so they can squeeze more money out of us.
