I have been looking for a KMart blender test/review here for a while, maybe I should add:
Bought a Anko Model BL9005CB blender in a garage sale in 2019, the seller stated that it was ‘almost brand new’ (well, typical aye?), for $10. we have been using it 2-5 times a week since, the original bottle died, bough a set of two for $7 from Kmart three years ago. Now after six years of hard work, started showing its teeth (oily bits occasionally) which can understand.
All I have is praise for making a product, retailing for $20, to last six years of work and still going! (OK I will wait for its actual death for next post).
I realise your post was an attempt to add a product comment not exactly a request for a test, but your point is made.
One aspect that Choice, unlike forums like productreview and others, is that tests/reviews are anchored by lab tests done in a scientific manner. As is sometimes the case products deliver differing experiences in a lab as compared to in the hands of a consumer, hence why many here are keen for Choice to implement comments on tests/tested products - eg ‘Improving Choice testing and Member Reviews.’
There have been some Community members over time who have posted their own tests/reviews of some products in their related topic categories, and generally are products still on the market. A guideline for doing that is the product or service should not be one Choice has published in respect for Choice IP.
In the absence of a Choice test of your target Anko product, you may consider developing a test/review framework and posting it in the appropriate Home and Living, Shopping, or Technology, etc, categories.
