Our Verdict

Smeg BLF01

Smeg BLF03

The Smeg BLF01 performs much better than its successor, the Smeg BLF03. The older model can create snow-like crushed ice and smooth blends of fibrous ingredients with ease, whereas the newer BLF03 struggles with basic tasks. However, neither model can blend hot soups or make thick spreads like nut butter.
