1200w motor sufficient to blend raw carrots?

nicolette

Im in the UK and am limited by how much i can spend on blenders/juicers. Im thinking of getting a high powered blender that can make raw vegetable soups and then if i ever want a veg juice i can just strain the pulp out of it. But will a 1200w motor be capable of blending raw carrots and squash etc?

Thanks

Well, the one ive been looking at getting is the 1200w Russell Hobbs version?
