I got the upgraded: JR Ultra touch blender 2 and I have found that everything from the jug to the touchpad, the lid to the screen has been precisely engineered to be the best blender of this generation. It has so many functions you can use: you can make soups using its new blade technology where it uses friction to heat up raw foods, smoothies and milkshakes, and now even nutty milks! It is by far the best mixed (commercial and non-commercial) blender at the moment and can be used at home or in a shop so it is perfect for such a wide audience. If you like healthy food and drinks this is perfect for you. I found that the people at JR Ultra have been excellent and have helped me along the way of purchasing this blender. So all in all I think if you have the money and the healthy mindset, this blender is absolutely great for you. (This is for the touch blender 2)

I have been looking for a high end blender for a while now, had been looking at the Optimum, the Biochef, the Omni blend etc and to be honest they all felt cheap and all seemed very similar, not to mention expensive. I then came across the JR Ultra Touch, I honestly can say that this machine seemed more modern, better build quality, more powerful, more versatile, not to mention the customer service and after sales support that I have received. I use the blender for all sorts of things from making nut butters, nut milks, soaps for me and my kids when I have them at weekends. I also use the blender for all of my rock hard fishing baits that I blend up to make ground baits. This machine will blend anything and is so easy to use!! I would not hesitate in recommending this blender! thank you Juicy Retreats for all your support and patience whilst I made my decision, 100% top draw.

I bought this blender because of all the positive reviews I had read. I am quite a cautious person and wanted a blender that I could trust that was capable of standing up to the task of creating soups, purees, smoothies, drinks etc for my rather large family. The JR Touch is so very good. It looks great but performs even better. My husband usually bought bottled smoothies like Innocent smoothies from the shop because our last blender would never be able to make the drink smooth enough with so many ingredients. We both now make batches of smoothies at home and keep in the fridge because the smoothies in our opinion are just as good as the shop bought versions if not better. Making soups with raw ingredients is a joy and although once in a while if we really fill the blender with ingredients the tamper tool will be needed, we find that it is usually just to get the ingredients moving and then the blender does the rest, its extremely easy and very efficient. With a standard amount of ingredients we never need to use the tool. The jug is very solid and comfortable to hold and the whole thing looks and feels so well built and solid that it does feel like it will last a very long time. This is quite an expensive blender but we went for it because it was not more expensive than others we saw but was more powerful and better looking and from the reviews we read seemed more capable of handling larger amounts of food. Having used the blender for a while now we can certainly agree to these points. Such a good blender, we are delighted with it.

I have been using the JR Ultra Touch for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed with it. The Blender itself looks extremely nice and it is built very well, it doesn't feel like it will ever break. I love the touch interface it is like no other blender I have seen and it is extremely easy to use. The style of the machine is fantastic but this would mean nothing to me if it didn't perform well. However, the performance is even better than the looks. It blends to an extremely smooth consistency and in minimal time and with minimal effort. There is an included tamper tool but I hardly ever need to use it. The machine speeds itself up and slows itself down so you don't need to manually increase the speed like the vitamix and it is definitely quieter than other powerful blenders I have owned. I make pureed food for my baby, I have made hot soups for the family and I have a daily smoothie for my health. I have made a nut butter but not yet grinded coffee or anything like that which it can do also. Everything has come out better than expected. The jug is very well made, never leaks and the blades look very expensive!! I am very very happy with the JR Ultra Touch I would really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a premium kitchen appliance which looks great and performs even better. In my opinion it is the cream of the crop.

I have Diverticulitis and needed a blender so that I could eat more fibrous food without worrying about it irritating my sensitive bowels. I have tried many blenders of lesser money and power and always found them struggling with very fibrous items or larger produce and some burnt our very easily. I chose the JR Ultra Touch because I felt that it was about time that I got one that would perform as I needed and I am extremely happy with it. It looks seriously good and the touch pad is like no other blender I have seen its a real next generation machine. Above all though I bought it to blend with and it is on another level. Its so powerful, but its not just that which impresses me, its more about the whole way it blends and performs and functions. It's a real pleasure to use and blends everything so smoothly and consistently every time. I am impressed that it can blend random objects but more than that I am just impressed that it blends the food I want so effectively and does it so effortlessly. I have owned blenders which I have bought because they had images and videos blending stones and golf balls etc but they always let me down and never really created a smooth consistent blend with actual food!! Of course this is why I want a blender!! I saw the Touch blending some random objects which was cool but above all it does what I want from a blender. Looks incredible, is a pleasure to use and above all blends all food and recipes that I want with absolutely minimal effort to a true smooth even consistency every time. It feels beautifully made, not rattling and flimsy like some others, and above all makes me able to have much more fibre in my diet in the form of soup and smoothies without the normal flare up of symptoms which I would normally get. Before I even took it out the box I could sense that this is a real premium item and once it was all set up I was even more sure. I can really recommend this to anyone who wants a top of the range blender that actually performs as a so called 'commercial' blender should do. I have owned blenders labelled as 'commercial' that have been a real let down. The JR Ultra Touch is wonderful.

Buying a good blender is very important to me. I have been eating a mainly raw vegan diet for a while and use a blender regularly to create meals for my whole family which need to be tasty and of course have variety. I have owned quite a few blenders in the past and I would like to think I am pretty knowledgeable about them. I had owned a Blendtec blender for a couple of years and it did ok but recently gave up on me and I always found it a little frustrating to use so once again I was looking to upgrade. Having looked around and considered pretty much all of my options, I went for the JR Ultra Touch as I really wanted to make sure I had the best one this time. I can hand on heart say that I am absolutely delighted that I did as this blender is incredible. The JR Touch is by far the most powerful blender I have ever owned. At 3.5 HP it is far more powerful than my previous Blendtec and actually it is one of the most powerful blenders I could find to buy. This power becomes immediately obvious as soon as you start the blend. It smashes through absolutely everything I put in it large or small (I saw some test videos of it blending metal spoons but of course I won’t be testing that!!) and it makes the smoothest consistency from the blend of any blender I have owned, trialled or considered. Considering the immense power, it is really incredible that it is still far quieter than my previous Blendtec even though it is far more powerful. The JR Ultra Touch looks wonderful. Very stylish and incredibly sleek, it looks great in my kitchen. The shiny black colour and chrome edges really make this blender look unique, it’s so good looking. My favourite thing about it though (apart from the immense performance) is the touch panel control system and LED screen. As soon as you switch it on and the JR logo lights up, you know that you have something special.It looks absolutely brilliant in my kitchen. When looking around at other blenders like the Vitamix, I found the majority of them to have just switches and not look particularly appealing, but the JR Touch panel is superb I smile every time I switch it on. I often make recipes with raw ingredients and the soup function has enabled me to create warm soup from raw ingredients in literally just a few minutes with just the friction from the rotating blades to generate the heat, it’s unbelievable and above all no matter what I ask it to blend it always makes a completely smooth result every time. I have also made things like smoothies, blended Ice, made sauces, grinded nuts and seeds in the same jug and even treated my partner to a Margarita, it never even flinches no matter what I ask it to do! It is quite expensive but actually I found other more expensive blenders with far less power and much less functionality so I really think its value for money. It is also a genuine commercial blender which is not the case for some of the other power blenders which claim to be ‘commercial’. I will always get good use from it and I am a believer in false economy and that when you buy cheap you buy twice. It is a specialist product from a specialist blending and juicing brand and this really shows in the quality of the product in my opinion. As soon as I took this out the box I realised that it is a proper high level product that is built to last so here’s to many years of blending with it! Sleek, stylish and beautiful but above all performs better than I could ever have wished for. A real next generation blender that I am absolutely delighted to own.
