Total capacity is 2 litres, and Tefal gives the working capacity as 1.25 litres. Four stainless steel blades use Tefal's Trip'Ax design, and they come out of the jug for cleaning. Controls are a rotary dial with two speeds and a pulse setting. There are no programs. Tefal lists an ice crush function in the product text. The lid has a filling hole with a dosing cup for adding ingredients while the motor runs. Safety and stability get some attention. A Secure Lock System stops the blades spinning when the jug is unlocked, four suction feet hold the base on the worktop, and an air cooling system guards against overheating. The cord is 1 metre long. Tefal supplies a user manual and safety instructions as PDF downloads on its product page. ### Key specs - Motor power: 600W - Jug capacity: 2 litres total, 1.25 litres working - Jug material: Plastic - Blades: 4 stainless steel, removable - Speeds: 2 plus pulse, rotary dial - Programs: None - Dishwasher-safe parts: Jug (without blades), lid and dosing cup - Cord length: 1 m - Voltage: 220-240V, 50-60Hz ## What owners report about the Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 Owner feedback specific to this model is limited, and what exists mostly covers early use. Those who have written about it say it is more capable than its power rating suggests, and that it blends smoothies and soups smoothly. Several mention that it comes apart easily, so the jug and blades are simple to wash. Some owners say the lid seals well and the base stays put. Others call it good value for the money. The one complaint that appears is noise: an owner found it too loud, though another said it was no louder than other blenders. Owners on Tefal's own shop say it crushes ice well, but those reviews are on the brand's site. No owner reports on long-term durability, staining or smells for this model turned up. ## Who the Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 suits The BL420840 suits a household that makes family-sized smoothies, shakes and soups and wants a simple jug with a dial. The removable blades and dishwasher-safe parts keep cleaning easy. Remember that the working load is 1.25 litres, not the full 2. It is less suited to anyone who wants fine control, since there are only two speeds and pulse, or who minds a plastic jug. The Morphy Richards Total Control Glass Jug Blender 403010 has a glass jug and five speeds. For more power and a single-serve cup alongside a jug, look at the Ninja 2-in-1 Blender with Auto-iQ BN750UK. ## Questions about the Tefal Blendforce II BL420840 ### Where can I find the Tefal BL420840 manual?

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.
