Nikai NFP1724N 4-in-1 Juicer, Blender, Chopper and Grinder, 1.6L, 300W

Our review

This Nikai appliance is a four-in-one kitchen machine: it works as a juicer extractor, a blender, a meat chopper and a grinder, with a 1.6-litre capacity and a 300W motor. Two speeds plus a pulse function give you slower control for soft fruit and short bursts for tougher jobs, and the motor has a thermostat, which matters if you run it hard. Stainless steel blades are what actually do the cutting. It suits someone in a busy household who wants one countertop unit to cover juicing, blending and chopping instead of buying separate machines, and who values a recognised brand name over unknown labels. Before buying, think about what you blend most. A 300W motor is modest, so if you regularly crush ice or grind hard spices, a higher-wattage blender may serve you better; for everyday fruit, vegetables and light chopping it should cope. Check which jars, blades and attachments come in the box, since the four functions depend on them, and confirm the capacity suits your household. Compare against single-purpose juicers and blenders at similar power, and against other multi-function processors, weighing how often you will really use each mode. Available on Sokonia.
