The Q Blender is commercial-grade engineering brought into your home kitchen. The 1220W motor is the highest possible rating for a home blender, driving blades at 300km/h under load for results that would normally require a café-quality machine. Four optimised one-touch programs (green smoothie, dairy smoothie, ice crush, soup) handle the most common tasks automatically, whilst five manual speed settings give you complete control when you need it. The Clip & Secure lid vents steam and prevents spatter during high-velocity blending, and the one-touch self-cleaning program cleans the jug and blades automatically with just water and detergent. The 2L capacity handles larger batches without needing multiple rounds, which matters if you're making smoothies for a family or creating nut butters and fine flours from scratch. Advanced texture optimisation delivers genuinely smooth results across cocktails, salsas, dips, nut milks, nut butters, and milled flours. Versatility that goes way beyond basic smoothie making. The Q is compatible with the Vac Q vacuum pump (sold separately), which removes air before blending to create smoother textures, brighter colours, and richer flavours. It's the kind of blender that transforms what you thought was possible at home, where even challenging tasks like making silky nut butters from whole nuts become genuinely achievable.
- 1220W commercial-grade motor: The highest possible motor rating for home blenders, delivering professional-grade power that handles tough blending tasks normally reserved for commercial machines.
- 300km/h blade tip speed under load: Achieves results quickly and efficiently, creating exceptionally smooth textures and fast processing times that match or exceed commercial blender performance.
- Four optimised one-touch programs: Green smoothie, dairy smoothie, ice crush, and soup programs automatically deliver preset time and speed combinations for consistent, optimal results without manual adjustment.
- Advanced texture optimisation: Produces smoother and softer textures across diverse applications: cocktails, salsas, dips, nut and bean milks, natural nut butters, and fine milled flours.
- Clip & Secure lid with self-cleaning program: Vents steam and prevents spatter during high-velocity blending, whilst the one-touch cleaning program uses just water and detergent to clean the jug and blades automatically.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Is a 1220W motor really necessary, or is it overkill for home use?
It depends what you want to make. For smoothies, a standard blender works fine. For nut butters from whole nuts, fine milled flours from grains, or silky hot soups from cold ingredients, 1220W is genuinely useful. The high power means you can make things at home that standard blenders struggle with or can't do at all.
What's the difference between this and the Fresh and Furious?
The Q has a more powerful motor (1220W vs 1300W combined), faster blade speed (300km/h), a larger 2L capacity, more one-touch programs (4 vs 3), and a self-cleaning feature. The Q is also commercial-grade engineered. For basic smoothies, Fresh and Furious is fine. For advanced blending and nut butters, the Q is the better choice.
What's the Vac Q pump for, and is it worth buying separately?
The Vac Q vacuum pump (sold separately) removes air before blending to create smoother textures, brighter colours, and richer flavours. It's genuinely useful if you make green smoothies regularly or want silky nut butters. For basic smoothies, it's optional. For serious blending, it's a worthwhile investment.
Can I really make nut butter at home with this?
Yes. The 1220W motor and high blade speed can turn whole nuts into smooth nut butter. It takes time (several minutes) because you're generating friction that heats and breaks down the nuts, but it's genuinely achievable. A standard blender would struggle or overheat trying the same task.

Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Using the one-touch self-cleaning program: After blending, fill the jug halfway with clean water and add a drop of dishwashing liquid. Press the self-cleaning one-touch program and let it run automatically. This cleans the jug and blades without manual effort, removing residue and ensuring hygiene after each use.
Blade safety and maintenance: The high-speed blades are sharp and powerful. Never touch them directly with your hands. When removing the jug, ensure blades have stopped spinning completely. For stuck ingredients, use the included tamper rather than your fingers to dislodge them safely.
Clip & Secure lid care: The Clip & Secure lid is designed for high-velocity tasks and vents steam. Ensure it's properly clipped before blending. After use, wipe the lid clean and allow it to dry completely before storing. Never force the clip mechanism.
Motor base and electrical care: Wipe the motor base with a dry cloth after each use to remove splashes. Never immerse the base in water. Ensure the power cord is coiled neatly and stored safely. Keep the blender in a stable position away from water sources when not in use.
Regular deep cleaning: The self-cleaning program handles daily cleaning, but monthly, disassemble the jug and blade assembly and soak in warm soapy water for 15 minutes to remove any buildup. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembling.
