The Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 and the Ninja 700W Slim Blender & Smoothie Maker QB3001UKS score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 goes first because it has been rated by more owners.
The QB3001UKS is a motor base with a pulse-to-blend control. Cups twist onto a blade assembly, and the blade assembly fits onto the base. John Lewis lists it as one speed and one program, with a 700W motor. There are no presets or timers.
The base is 33cm high and 10cm wide and deep, and it weighs 1.3kg. The cable is 80cm long. The footprint is about the size of a large mug, so it fits on a worktop or in a cupboard.
Two 470ml cups come in the box, along with two spout lids for taking a drink with you, a Ninja blade assembly and the motor base. Trolley lists the cups as Tritan and BPA-free, and John Lewis lists them as dishwasher safe. Because the drink is blended in the cup you drink from, there is no jug to wash afterwards.
We found little owner feedback for this exact model on pages we could open, so we report none here.
Buy it if you make one drink at a time: a smoothie before work, a protein shake, a drink with frozen fruit and ice. The slim base suits a small kitchen or a shared flat, and the second cup lets you prepare two drinks. With only one speed and pulse control, there is little to learn.
Look elsewhere if you cook for a family or want soups, sauces or batches, because each cup holds 470ml. The Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 or the nutribullet Blender 1000W is a better fit for jug-sized jobs. For more power and a larger cup, the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 2-in-1 CB100UK is the stronger choice.
The base is 33cm high and 10cm wide and deep, according to John Lewis. It weighs 1.3kg and has an 80cm cable.

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover blenders for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 22 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
