Moulinex LM241B27 Blender 1.25L 500W with Mill, Made in France

Our review

This is a compact countertop blender from Moulinex, sold as the LM241B27 and made in France. The 1.25L jug and 500W motor put it in the everyday household class rather than the heavy-duty smoothie-bar end of the market, and the included mill attachment is the detail that separates it from plain single-jug blenders, since it lets you grind dry ingredients in a second container instead of using the main jug. It suits someone blending juices, smoothies, soups and sauces in modest batches, and who values a European-built appliance over a larger, more powerful machine. Before buying, check the jug capacity against how many people you blend for, confirm the mill is something you will actually use, and think about whether 500W is enough for the toughest ingredients you handle. Compare it with higher-wattage blenders if you crush ice or hard frozen fruit often, and with stick blenders if you mostly puree soups.
