"Fabulous for young family"
I love this soup maker - just brilliant if you've got young kids. I chop up my veg, throw them in the machine and come back 20 minutes later to fresh wholesome soup. No more standing in front of the hob for ages. Cleaning it can be a bit of a pain, some of my recipes always get a burnt patch at the bottom, but I just leave water in it overnight and it scrubs off easily enough. Having the blender in the lid is great - it's much easier to clean than if the blades are in the bottom - you can clean them properly without slicing your fingers off.
