You may have heard of vacuum blenders but you may not know what all the fuss is about. Firstly, it’s not a blender that vacuums your floors - if only! Vacuum blenders create an airtight jug for your smoothies that helps to prevent oxidisation. That is, the air is sucked from your jug to produce a smoothie that retains maximum nutrients and won’t separate or discolour if left to sit on your bench. You’ll also get a smoothie with a foam-free texture and enhanced flavour.

Exclusive to Appliances Online, the Astro Vacuum Blender is a revelation in medium-sized power blenders. Its simple LED controls will put the ‘smooth’ in ‘smoothie’. When you’ve finished vacuum-blending, you can preserve your remaining blender contents with the Vacuum Only mode and the Vacuum Storage Container. You have the choice of nine speed settings, as well as functions for pulse control and cleaning. With a borosilicate glass jug and Japanese stainless steel blades, the Astro vacuum blender is built to last. Available in bronze and dark grey, you can complement or contrast the Astro with any kitchen decor.

If you’re looking to boost the shelf life of raw foods, a BioChef food dehydrator is an invaluable addition to your benchtop. Available with 6, 8, 9, 10, or even 12 trays, these units are designed to provide the maximum drying area for your ingredients. With an adjustable thermostat, you can achieve greater control over your results, and a fan located at the rear means horizontal drying for even heat distribution. Prepare beef jerky on one level and proof yoghurt on another, without the worry of intermingling odours. BioChef’s Savana range features Dual Fan Technology, meaning you can use just one fan to save on energy. Whether you’re strictly dieting on raw foods or simply want a smarter way to preserve foods, a BioChef dehydrator will not disappoint.

A BioChef Living Food Blender is the difference between a smoothie that tastes good and a smoothie that feels good. These blenders release nutrients not usually accessible to your body, pulverising skins and seeds so you take nourishment from the whole food. Enjoy the convenience of a touch-swipe LCD screen, as well as preset programs that intelligently calibrate performance based on your recipe. For a commercial-grade 1600 watts of power, explore the range of BioChef High Performance Blenders, or discover the advantages of oxygen-free with a vacuum blender. There are Atlas Power blenders with long-lasting brushless motor technology, and a Galaxy blender for those short on benchtop space. 

BioChef said it succinctly - "Sometimes it takes great technology to bring us back to Mother Nature.” This is most evident in the technology poured into their cold press juicers. These juicers provide a healthier alternative to buying bottled juice from the shops, and their compact footprints mean they can occupy a space in any kitchen. Because the juice is extracted via a slow squeeze, there is no heat or friction to spoil the enzymes and nutrients of your final product. Selected slow juicers can even turn out food processor recipes such as dips and nut butters. Made with minimal parts, these juicers are also incredibly easy to clean. 

Vacuum-sealing is a smart way to make your food stay fresher for longer, while also locking in its full spectrum of flavours and aromas. In fact, a BioChef vacuum sealer will extend the shelf life of your food by up to five times the duration of plastic wrap and container preservation. Available in Compact and Pro models, these units are operated with simple touch controls. Save on fridge and freezer space by doing away with clunky plastic containers, and harness the external hose accessory to seal canisters and jars. You can even use your vacuum sealer to marinate a last-minute meal.
