Best Philips blenders in 2020

A blender is one of the most commonly used kitchen appliances in any kitchen. It makes it easy to chop vegetables or fruits, make mashed potatoes for a child, or mix a delicious smoothie. Therefore, it is not surprising that almost all manufacturers of kitchen appliances offer more than a dozen models of blenders in their assortment. The devices of the well-known Philips company are rightfully recognized as some of the best.

Stationary or submersible?

Despite all the variety of models, all blenders are divided into only two large categories - stationary and submersible. Each of them has its own merits. Therefore, you need to choose, focusing on the needs of the hostess.

Submersible models are a plastic or metal alloy handle with a built-in motor. A nozzle is attached to it. Any container can be used to work with such a blender. Such a device may well replace several mandatory kitchen appliances.

• small size;
• can be easily moved;
• you can cook small portions of dishes;
• it is easy to independently change the position of the knife;
• changing attachments can be used for different purposes.

• you have to hold such a device with your hands;
• if the appliance is handled carelessly, food will sprinkle on the sides.

Such a blender is useful if the hostess often prepares food for children or puree soups, cocktails made from soft vegetables or fruits. A submersible blender will look appropriate in a small kitchen.

The stationary model is a large jug with a chopping knife mounted in the bottom. All this is put on a special base, which contains the motor. Compared to the previous version, such a device is much larger in size. It is needed if a person is used to making cocktails or smoothies in large quantities. It will be appreciated by athletes, adherents of vegetarian food or connoisseurs of healthy lifestyle.

• such a device does not need to be held;
• work is carried out with minimal human participation;
• you can cook large amounts of food;
• easy to care for, as there is a self-cleaning function;
• cheaper than the submersible model.

• you cannot cook a small portion of the dish;
• large dimensions.

Features of choosing a hand blender

Power

Pay attention to this parameter first. After all, the quality of grinding products and the speed of work will depend on him. Power ranges from 140 to 1200 watts. The higher this indicator, the more solid products the device is able to grind.For most everyday tasks, 450 W is enough. But for cracking ice, processing hard vegetables or meat, you need to choose devices with a power of 800 watts or more.

Speed ​​modes

Submersible models have 1 to 30 speed options. The more variations there are, the more precisely the unit's operating mode is adjusted for the parameters of a specific product and container in which grinding and mixing takes place. For low or wide bowls, low speed operation is more appropriate. This prevents food from spattering on the sides.

At high speed, the mixing and grinding process is much faster. But at a small value of this parameter, it is easier to cope with solid or viscous substances. As practice shows, many speeds are necessary only for professional chefs preparing complex multicomponent dishes. Most housewives get along well with five speeds. If the blender is purchased for the simplest tasks, just a couple of speeds will be enough.

Besides the ability to change the speed, blenders have different modes of operation. This is usually turbo mode, with maximum speed. This type of work is needed at the end of mixing to obtain the most uniform and light consistency. The ice cracking function is often used when preparing a variety of cocktails. And the pulse mode is useful when processing solid food. In this case, the device makes short pauses in operation, which protects the motor from overheating.

Variety of attachments

Usually, three attachments come with a hand blender: for chopping and mixing, a whisk and a chopper for a bowl. All other devices will be an additional benefit and will increase the functionality of the device.

The blender attachment is the main working tool that solves most tasks. At the end of such a nozzle there is a chopping knife under the hemisphere covering it.

The whisk is used for beating eggs, butter, cream, making mayonnaise and other dishes. It can be spiral or teardrop-shaped.

The bowl with the grinder is made in the form of a container with a knife in the center. It starts when you connect the handle to the bowl lid. Such a bowl may contain one or more additional grinding knives.

The mill is a small bowl with a knife at the bottom. It is used for grinding solids and acts like a coffee grinder.

The puree accessory uses a plastic knife. It rubs the soft product at low speed and turns it into an even, delicate puree.

Metal or plastic?

The main part of the blender and attachments can be metal or plastic. It is advisable to choose devices where the attachments are made of metal. You can even cook hot meals with them. Such attachments are much stronger and more environmentally friendly than plastic ones.

It is permissible for the handle to be made of plastic. In this matter, the choice is based solely on taste preferences. It is necessary to take into account the presence of special rubberized inserts that fit the holding of the device in the hand.

Power supply

The device can operate both from the mains and from the battery. Usually, devices with the first type of power supply are on sale. It is recommended to buy cordless blenders only if there is a need to be mobile. But it should be borne in mind that the built-in battery makes the device much heavier, and the operating time without recharging is very limited. The power of such a device also suffers.

Choosing a bench blender

Power

This parameter is also decisive, as for submersible devices. In most cases, home shakers are rated at 500 to 900 watts. Moreover, the higher the indicator, the better the blender will work. But along with this, the noise of the unit and the price increase. If the device is bought for kneading dough, then the power should be even higher - from 1000 W. For normal mixing, mashing and smoothing, 600 watts is sufficient.

Knives

After power, it is the second quality indicator of a household shaker. There can be 1 or 2 knives.The quantity affects the speed of work. Straight and curved knives are also distinguished. The latter do their job better. Preference should be given to models with large, durable knives made of durable steel.

Jug

The quality of the container is assessed by its volume. The larger the jug, the more food you can put into it at one time. It should be borne in mind that when laying products, the container cannot be filled to the top. Leave 300 ml of free space. It is convenient if there is a measuring scale on the side wall of the jug. It is also preferable to choose appliances where the jug is not tapered downwards. They are more convenient to use and maintain.

Base with motor

It is important to consider the base, or rather, its dimensions and weight. This directly affects how stable the device will be on the table during operation. It is desirable to have rubberized feet or pads at the bottom of the base. They also increase the adhesion of the device to the surface.

Materials

Shaker jugs are made of metal, plastic or composite material. The cheapest models are made of plastic. They are comfortable, lightweight, but do not mix hot substances in them. They also break easily. Metal bowls are durable, able to withstand any temperature, but significantly increase the cost of the device.

Therefore, a composite container is considered an ideal option. It is also expensive, but unlike metal, transparent and light. For the manufacture of the base, inexpensive plastic and durable steel are used. The latter option is much more convenient due to its stability and durability, but at the same time it is more expensive.

Speed

This is another important parameter for evaluating a stationary blender. This refers to the speed of rotation of the knife. Modern models have 1-20 speeds. The speed mode affects the quality of grinding the product and on what hardness the device can work with. 4-6 speeds are sufficient for most tasks. Also, a home shaker can have a turbo mode and a pulse mode. Their characteristics are the same as for hand blenders.

Control Panel

This is not the most important parameter, but it is also worth paying attention to. Touch buttons greatly simplify the washing process, but add cost. Plus, mechanical buttons are a great handy option.
