Daewoo 2-in-1 Soup Maker Review UK 2026

Key specifications

Blending Power and Performance

Blending performance is central to this blender and smoothie blender, because it needs to convert cooked soup into a smooth texture and also handle drink ingredients with fewer lumps. Blending takes place inside the countertop blender jug, so results depend on how effectively ingredients are broken down before mixing. Cooked soup tends to blend best when it is hot and well stirred, while thicker blends may require additional processing time to reduce remaining bits. For smoothies, harder items such as frozen fruit can leave texture if pieces are large, so pre-cutting helps. The 1.6 L capacity can also limit batch thickness, which affects how smooth the final blend turns out.

Capacity and Jug

With a 1.6L jug, the Daewoo and smoothie blender is sized for small to medium batches, which can suit cooking for a few people and limit leftover. The unit's jug and countertop blender format means ingredients are processed inside one main container, so filling habits matter. The title claims it can make up to 6 portions of fresh soup, letting recipes be planned around that range. For larger households or meal prep, the smaller capacity may require splitting batches.

Speeds, Programs and Controls

Speeds and programs matter because they determine how smoothly ingredients break down, and how consistently the soup maker handles thicker mixes. In day-to-day use, controls typically guide blending and stirring steps, so thicker blends may need careful monitoring and proper ingredient prep. An auto stir function and an overspill spout can help manage texture and keep liquids contained, but fine control may be limited if options are minimal.

Type: Jug, Personal or Hand Blender

The blender & Smoothie Blender uses a jug-style design. Ingredients are blended in a dedicated 1.6L jug placed on the countertop, rather than using a hand blender directly. This format suits people who want a single station for soups, juices and shakes, because the blending happens in the jug. It is designed to make up to 6 portions of fresh soup, which makes portion planning easier for families, while very small batches may feel less efficient. The countertop setup takes up space, and the jug format offers less flexibility than a hand blender for blending smaller, irregular mixes.

Cleaning and Build

Cleaning is usually easier when the device is treated like a countertop jug, because the 1.6 L container holds the mixture and limits splashes compared with blending over a sink. After use, it is best to empty the jug right away, then rinse it with warm water so residue does not set. The lid and overspill spout should also be wiped, since drips can dry around the edges. For tougher bits, add a small amount of warm water to the jug, blend briefly, then rinse again. In build terms, the compact jug format suits small kitchens, though it leaves limited space for large batches.

Who Is This Blender For?

Who is this blender for? The Daewoo suits people who want a compact countertop jug blender, particularly for smaller batches. With a 1.6L capacity, it fits households planning up to 6 portions of fresh soup, while also supporting smoothies and juices. It suits buyers who prefer guided mixing for soups, as the design is built for making thicker blends. It may be less suitable for larger families or frequent entertaining, because not all recipes will fit the 1.6L jug at once (not stated).

Where to Buy in the UK

Finding the blender in the UK usually starts with checking major UK retailers and online marketplaces, since the model is a countertop jug blender designed for soup and smoothies (1.6 L, and it makes up to 6 portions). In-store, shoppers can compare jug capacity and controls by inspecting the countertop footprint. Online, they should verify the listing matches the "2-in-1" function, any stated auto stirring feature, and any stated overspill spout. Prices and stock levels vary, so checking multiple sellers helps. For best accuracy, they should read product titles and specifications, note any returns policy, and confirm delivery to their postcode.
