Philips Mini Blender Smoothie Maker, 350W, On-the-go Tumbler, 1L Jug

Well made product, good quality. Blends absolutely well. Built-in failsafe hole at the top of the motor to prevent content from the cylinder from getting into the motor should you forget to fit in the rubber rings. Does not make that much noise either. Good value for money and easy to clean.

It is good but the plastic is cracking now after 6 months , but not leaking

This is really good value. Works well and blends smoothies and drinks really well. For frozen things it works well but I've found you need to add larger items (like ice cubes or frozen strawberries) first, then add the smaller items (like blueberries) next. If you put it all in at once the larger items get pushed up and don't reach the blades. Cleaning is easy and the footprint is small so it's great for smaller kitchens like ours. Why not five stars? The instructions are one big fold out leaflet and not easy to understand and could be improved. That might seem silly but it matters and they have good and important info in them.

Great blender, small enough not to occupy much space, and big enough for most recipes (that not for a big group). Very happy with it and would totally recommend.

Excellent

I had quite a few issues with this blender. It worked fine for the first month, but after that, it started giving off a burning smell when used for more than 30 seconds. It is hard to describe, but it smells like metal burning, which is not ideal at all. A few weeks later, the rubber band inside broke, and now it is completely unusable. I would not recommend buying this. I think I would have been better off spending a little more on a more durable option instead of going for this cheaper one. It did not even last two months, which is very disappointing. I was expecting more from Philips.

I just wanted to get a small blender that didn't take up much counter-top space and could be used for post-workout shakes, smoothies and the odd milkshake for the kids. For what I want it for it does the job perfectly. Obviously it's not going to give the silky smooth results you get from a 1200w blender, but it's not like it's going to leave lumps, just the odd strawberry seed here and there. Given that all of the higher power blenders seem to have issues with leakage (at least based on the reviews), I'd rather stick with this one and lose 1% of the smoothness! It's easy to clean, just add some warm water to it when done and a drop of washing up liquid and then give it a blitz at high speed. After that disassemble and wash in the sink. I don't have a dishwasher so can't comment on cleaning it that way. A small brush to get under the blades is helpful though, as 2 of them are angled down and so only a dish cloth or small brush is going to get into the gap to allow you to clean the underside of those blades. I note that one review mentioned a lack of safety features to stop kids blending their fingers. This is not true. The device is fitted with a safety interlock so will only operate when the jug is locked into place. To keep things safe when left on the counter-top, just place the jug on top of the blender, but don't twist and lock it into place (which takes a reasonable amount of strength). This will prevent the blender from operating until you are ready to use it. As the jug sits in a recess, it's not like it's going to fall off the blender if it isn't locked in. In terms of price, I think for the £32.99 I paid it was fair. It's now back up to £49.99, which I think is a little steep for what it is, so wait for the price to drop again if you can (which it seems to fairly regularly).

Purchase this for my son to make smoothies for his breakfast. It gets stuck quite a lot when he puts the fruit in so then he as to lift the lid and poke with a chopstick to try and move the stuff around. Don't know if the power isn't quite enough to chop up ice and chunks of fruit. You have to put a lot of liquid in to get it going. I would buy a more powerful blender next time. On the whole it's fine. It's a neat little product as I don't like big kitchen applies hanging around the kitchen I like to be able to put them in the cupboard and it fits just perfectly with my glasses and cups.

Heel mooi
