Salter Soup Maker EK5118V2 Full REVIEW

Salter Soup Maker EK5118V2 - https://amzn.to/3yw4cl2 This arrived in a colourful top opening branded box, with images of the soup maker on the outside along with listed features and specifications. Once opened the power lead, cleaning brush and instruction booklet are on the top, and the machine is wrapped in a plastic sleeve held between bespoke compressed cardboard. First impressions: the top section easily releases from the base with a moulded handle, and contains the majority of the weight of the soup maker. The main stainless steel jug is quite light with branding on the side along with minimum and maximum amounts embossed into the metal, which show both externally and internally. This has two main control buttons, one for turning it on and off and another for selecting the mode you want with a small LED display between the two. The whole unit looks quite nice and sits solidly on three rubber disk feet. After unpacking I gave everything a good clean as per the instructions and prepared some vegetables and spices to try it out. The instructions mainly cover safety usage and cleaning as the functionality is really a case of filling with the ingredients then selecting the mode you require, and it will start after a few seconds. After I had filled it I set the machine to smooth soup and I could hear it start to heat up, I then just left it until it bleeped to say it had finished. I didn’t find it that loud in use and the main time you notice it is working is when the mixed/blender part kicks in and it bleeps to say it has finished. I was impressed with the results and the blending came out nice and smooth without any large particles at all. I have since made two further batches of soup both with great results and little effort apart from roughly preparing the ingredients. Cleaning is fairly easy although you do for obvious reasons have to avoid water contamination with the power points which is fully covered in the instructions. Overall in my opinion this is a great gadget for the kitchen, I found it really easy to set up and use, with minimal effort and preparation to get some really nice and well blended soup.
