Quick verdict

Score: 8.6/10

Best for: Soups, sauces and blending right in the pan

Not for: Heavy daily commercial use, or jobs that really need a food processor

Bottom line: A practical blender (hand/stick, 700W) for smoothies, soups and everyday blending at home.

The Kenwood Triblend HDP100WG's Triblend HDP100WG is a 700W hand/stick blender with a simple one-speed mixer and a turbo option for everyday blending tasks. It is suitable for basic purées, soups and smoothies where one consistent speed is usually sufficient. The turbo setting can help with thicker mixes, but the single speed limits fine control for smoother textures. As the Kenwood blender, it is built for frequent kitchen use, although it may not suit those who want multiple speeds.

Blending Power and Performance

With a rated power of 700W, the blender is designed for steady blending across everyday kitchen tasks. Its one-speed mixer setup, supported by a turbo function, provides extra boost when a thicker mixture needs more power. In use, the single speed setup limits fine control, making it better suited to smooth purées, soups, and batters than to more delicate emulsions. The turbo function is intended for brief use when ingredients resist, before switching back to normal to avoid overworking. An anti-splash design helps keep the work area tidier, although blending technique still affects the mess. Performance remains consistent, while versatility stays constrained by the one-speed design.

Capacity and Jug

A key part of everyday blending is how much liquid or mixture can fit safely, and how easy the container is to use, as this affects spill risk and whether thicker mixes blend evenly. For the Kenwood, the product title confirms it is a hand blender with a triblend wand and an anti-splash feature. A larger filled area generally helps thicker mixes circulate, while overfilling increases splatter. The wand-and-immersion format also means ingredient handling relies less on jug dimensions.

Speeds, Programs and Controls

The blender's Triblend HDP100WG is a hand blender with one speed mixer control and a turbo function, so blending relies on a limited set of options rather than a wide range of speed levels. The controls are straightforward to use, making them suitable for quick mixing where fine gradations are not essential. Operation typically starts on the single mixer speed, with turbo selected when ingredients need extra power, such as thicker batters. Because there is no multi-speed setting for finer texture control, some recipes may rely on timing instead of slower, more adjustable blending.

Type: Jug, Personal or Hand Blender

Hand blenders like this blender fall into the "jug, personal or hand blender" category, designed for blending by moving the wand through ingredients rather than using a separate jug-only blending system. This format suits smaller batches and works well when control over texture is needed, with blending carried out directly in the bowl or pot to reduce transfer steps. The 700 W wand motor and Triblend wand support direct-in-container blending, but results depend on technique, as uneven movement can leave lumps in thicker mixtures.

Cleaning and Build

After blending, the wand and anti-splash area should be cleaned immediately, because dried-on food can be harder to remove. Unplug the blender first, then wipe the wand with warm soapy water and rinse to clear any residue. For stuck bits, a soft cloth or sponge can help, while abrasive pads may scratch the surfaces. Check the anti-splash guard along the edges, since splatter tends to collect there. If thicker mixtures were used, a second cleaning pass may be needed. The build is sturdy for a 700W stick blender, although overall ease depends on how quickly cleaning starts.

Who Is This Blender For?

For everyday home cooking, this 700W The Kenwood Triblend HDP100WG stick blender model suits people who want a practical, mostly single-function tool for blending and mixing rather than a specialised machine. It is designed for smaller kitchens and for users who prefer a handheld wand over bulky appliances, and it can support tasks such as puréeing sauces, mixing batters and combining ingredients in bowls. The one-speed mixer approach suits cooks who do not need fine control, but it may feel limiting for thicker blends or delicate textures. Home cooks who value a simple, quick setup after cleaning and straightforward build upkeep may find it easiest to use regularly.

Where to Buy in the UK

Where to buy the Kenwood in the UK depends on whether the buyer wants to shop online or in-store, and on whether the product listing displays the exact model code. Shoppers often check major UK retailers and verify that the item title or product details match "The blender.. HDP100WG, White". In-store confirmation can take longer, so buyers may need to photograph or ask staff for the model code before purchasing. Price, availability and delivery vary between listings, so comparing several options helps. If the model code is missing or the listing does not clearly match, the fit becomes uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kenwood worth it?

For smoothies, soups, sauces and crushing through fruit and veg, the blender (700W) blends smoothly and saves real effort. Check the current Amazon UK price, as blenders go on deal often.

Is this blender a jug, personal or hand blender?

The Kenwood is a hand (stick) blender - you blend directly in the pan or jug, perfect for soups and sauces, though it's not for big batches of smoothies like a jug blender.

Is the Kenwood Triblend HDP100WG good for smoothies?

Yes - blending smoothies is exactly what the blender is built for, and 700W has the power to break down fruit, veg and ice. For very tough ingredients like frozen fruit and ice, more power and good blades help give a smoother result.

How powerful is this blender?

The Kenwood is rated at 700W. As a rough guide, 300-600W suits everyday smoothies and soups, 700-1,200W handles ice and tougher ingredients, and 1,500W+ is high-performance territory. Blade and jug design matter as well as wattage.

Can the blender crush ice?

Many blenders crush ice, but it depends on the power and blades - higher-wattage jug and bullet blenders manage it best. If ice and frozen fruit are a priority, look for a model that specifically lists ice-crushing; the Kenwood is 700W.

Is the blender easy to clean?

Most blenders are easy to rinse, and many jugs and cups are dishwasher-safe (check the model). A quick self-clean - blending warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid - keeps the Kenwood Triblend HDP100WG fresh between uses.
