=A340 today. 1.2l soup, not 1.7l as advertised. By only adding the cooked/t= inned items and liquids at the end it can make a fair bit more in one go.
Pros: no need to watch boiling things, no need to get multiple items dirty,= set and forget. 3yr warranty. Does smooth, chunky, and mix of both.
Cons: not a single part is dishwashable, and of course the self clean routi= ne was just a salesman's dream. A lot of unusually loud and entirely pointl= ess beeping.

So it's a slow cooker then?

I tend to go for large batches when making soup, and used to use a Kenwood liquidiser attachment. It gave a good result, but was messy and time consuming, its capacity being small compared to the pan.
The answer was a Bamix hand-held blender - fast and easy. Also great for non-lumpy sauces.

Not Bamix, but very definitely a stick blender.
We often make two different soups at the same time - which is no problem with a quick rinse of the stick blender. But would be tedious with any liquidiser-based approach.
Also much better if you want to end up with a semi-chunky/semi-smooth soup.
Good grief. What a waste of space (and money)!
A fool and his money etc...

yerrss.
Its usually women who think that e.g. buying a bread maker will result in them actually making bread etc.
but a fair few men think that spending =A310000 in Axminster will turn them into Chippendale.

I cannot speak for the Aldi soup maker, however I have the Culishart model, that is excellent. I make a lot of soup and that is the easiest way I have found. Plus there is no serious washing up after!"
Lifting that many tools might make them look like one though.

Compared to tinned soup it cuts the costs from 59 to 25p a portion. 5 servi= ngs a go =3D =A31.70 less, so its paid its cost completely after 23 uses, a= nd there's the labour saved too.

Doesn't it?
Damn...
Just had a bowl of butternut squash and bacon soup. If I could only take one item of food to my desert island, it would probably be this
One of the best ones we make is a bit of onion, garlic, chilli and chorizo sizzled up in olive oil and then tinned chopped tomatoes added.
One saucepan, easily cleaned, is all it needs.

Perhaps we are greedy gits, but partner and I can easily polish off 1.2 litres (or more!) of freshly made soup as a meal. And when we make any, we almost invariably do enough for at least two portions each - and the second (or third) simply get chilled until tomorrow, or frozen.
So we do not need to get pans out, watch it, etc., every soup day. Whereas with that machine we would have to do whatever it needs every soup day.
Indeed, with such a machine we would need to get out the chopping boards, knives, etc., every day we wanted soup.
I cannot understand your price analysis. But I would be comparing against non-machine made soup rather than cans. (I either make soup or buy soup. It is almost never a case of substituting bought for for home-made or vice versa.) So, for the equivalent bowlful, the ingredient cost would be unchanged. Savings would have to be found in other costs - electricity/gas, washing up, etc.
We do butternut & apple (and onion) with a little curry powder. Truly lovely. But I do rather fancy a bit of bacon in there...
How hard is washing up one pan, a knife and a spoon?
Tim
My money is on it being in the back of a kitchen cupboard within 2 months (and with your 23 uses never reached) and off to a car boot sale in 5 years when it's "rediscovered".

The washing up is the thing with the Kenwood Chef blender. So many bits and all of them difficult to dry
