Our verdict: The Russell Hobbs Food Collection Jug Blender 24610 ranks 8th of the 10 blenders we compare, with 8.1 out of 10. It takes our Best Budget badge.
A compact 400W jug blender with a 1.5-litre plastic jug, two speeds and a pulse setting. It suits occasional smoothies, soups and sauces in a small kitchen, not heavy daily blending or ice.

The Philips 3000 Series Blender HR2041 (8.3) beats the Russell Hobbs Food Collection Jug Blender 24610 (8.1) because it leaves owners a little happier.
The 24610 is a white jug blender from Russell Hobbs' Food Collection. A 400W motor sits in the base, and the detachable jug holds 1.5 litres. The jug is plastic and the cutting blades are stainless steel. The base has rubber feet to stop it slipping on the worktop.
Controls are two variable speeds and a pulse function, according to the brand's description and the retailer listings we read. The brand's spec line gives a different speed count, so the two-speed figure is the one most listings agree on. A digital display is listed on the brand's page. The lid has a lift-up flap for adding ingredients while it runs.
The blades come out of the jug for cleaning, and the brand lists the product as dishwasher safe without saying which parts. The base measures 340 mm high, 210 mm long and 252 mm wide. The brand's page does not give a weight or a box contents list.
We found little owner feedback specific to this model. What exists is short and positive.
Owners who wrote about it on retailer pages like it for morning smoothies, say it blends to a smooth result and is easy to clean. They also like that it is compact and takes up little worktop space, and one calls it sturdy for the money.
We found no detailed owner reports on ice crushing, noise or how it holds up after months of use, so we cannot say more than the specs suggest. A 400W motor is at the low end for jug blenders.
It suits someone who wants an inexpensive jug for smoothies from soft fruit, milkshakes, sauces and soups, and who has limited worktop space. Cleaning is simple because the blades come out and the parts go in the dishwasher.
Look elsewhere if you crush ice regularly or blend large, thick or fibrous batches. The Ninja 2-in-1 Blender with Auto-iQ BN750UK or the nutribullet Blender 1000W have far more power. If you want a glass jug, the Morphy Richards Total Control Glass Jug Blender 403010 is the alternative.
The base is 340 mm high, 210 mm long and 252 mm wide, according to Russell Hobbs. The brand's page does not list a weight.
Two speeds plus a pulse setting, as most retailer listings describe it. Russell Hobbs' own page also lists a different speed count, so check the box if it matters to you.
Russell Hobbs lists the blender as dishwasher safe but does not say which parts. Retailer listings name the jug and lid, and the blades come out for cleaning.
The jug holds 1.5 litres. One retailer lists a 1.8-litre total capacity, but Russell Hobbs gives the jug figure as 1.5 litres.
Yes. Retailer listings describe it as suited to purées, smoothies and soups. It has a 400W motor, so keep batches small.

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.
