Yes, I know you can buy them there, but priced them up last time and just not worth it for what I will use it. I have a spare one in the UK that I was gonna bring over in my hand luggage, then Hubby suggested it might be banned as an offensive weapon (due to the blades). Although I have never heard of anyone being attacked by a blender, I thought he may have a point. Don't want pack the heavy thing if it's gonna be taken off me. Does anyone know, and if not, does anyone know where I can get one cheap over there? Cheers

I brought a food mixer complete with attachments over in my hold luggage and they never questioned it at all
-
I too brought over a complete food processor, all the blades were in hold luggage
-
Don't bring it in your hand luggage put it in your suitcase then no problems. We have bought over lots of things in our suitcases.
-
I brought our over in our hold luggage, I know they can so sometimes be very strict especially in Bristol airport, my husband stupidly took his nail clippers in his hand luggage 3 years in a row, (even though he was threatened with violence by me if he did it again), and had them confiscated.
-
We were stopped with a blender,and They took the blades ,off,us and said we could take the blender into Turkey.

I haven't heard of anyone being attacked with a blender either, but there is a first time for everything lol... they wont allow it in your hand luggage in case you dismantle it and use the blades for something. As everyone suggests, putting it in your hold luggage wont be a problem. Sue xx

Bought one over in my hand luggage last year had luggage checked by security no problem.
-
I bought one from Gempa and it was not out of this world on price.
-
My friend brought her food and smoothie blitzer across and back last week, no problem, but she did place it in her case.

Thanks guys. I think from your responses it's hit and miss. We've only got hand luggage, but it's only a spare so if they take it off us it's no big deal really. (re previous post...what is the point of having a blender with no blades?) Anyway. cheers for the input.

Lol... I know, but security may think you want the blades to use as a weapon, yes , weird I know, I would much rather have a blender too. Sue xx

Kipa have one on offer at the moment, their promotion runs until 1 May. Arçelik 1252 Hbs Blender set which includes the hand blender, chopper and mixer for 79.90 lira, usual price 99.90 lira. With the current rate of exchange this works out at £22.63 which is pretty cheap and Arçelik is a reasonable make.

Hi Deb and Paz, when are you out? We must def meet up this time. Love Chrissie and Pete x

Marggie, that is a brilliant price and better than what I have. We have to go to Kipa for stuff anyway when we get there so I may as well use the 5kg weight for something else!. Cheers x
