The AEG hand blender is indeed the same size, but good 100g heavier. That is not unimportant for delicate female hands, because at 1 minute mash at the highest level counts each weight, which can weaken the hand faster :-)
The noise level of the hand blender is identical, but it is the Philips hum rather a rich, are the AEG is a high-pitched sound when pureeing itself.
When Philips 1670 1200ml Measuring cup with handle is to touch this, the AEG hand blender there is a smoothie cup, which can be filled with 800ml liquid and can be conveniently stored in the refrigerator door for cooling. Unfortunately, there is not a smoothie to go cup, because the cover is not water tight seal, but only rests loosely. If time remains slightly above, you can refrigerate the rest easy.
I would have though a smoothie cups desired on the go, I can sometimes take in my purse.
After cleaning the unit I have thus already mashed precooked courgettes and thus conjured up a tasty soup. At the very end came even cut salmon to. The cream I could set up properly with a whisk.
Thanks to the spray protection, the kitchen tiles were clean.
The cleaning was also very quick and easy, simply unscrew the mix foot from the engine block and hot water and seek finished.
The smoothie cup I have not used, I will first cleaned in the dishwasher. Even the included XL chopper I have not tried yet.
In the directions stands, which must not be used for crushing ice of the hand blender. Also grind of hard nuts or sweets should be allowed to stay better, the knives are dull otherwise.
What I, however, do not like the comparison, the cheap gray plastic parts, so do not want to visually match the quality stainless steel. So you have to really worry that the whisk of plastic carrier during the cream whipping could burst soon.
He looks quite cheap and is also extremely light in comparison with the heavy stainless steel.
All parts (except the motor block) can be put in the dishwasher. That is in itself a lot of work.
The cable length of 1.80 m is generous and 30cm more are another plus, because that gave me in the kitchen more freedom of movement. Great idea, there was finally thought along once.
For me, the way the blender on the kitchen work surface remains smooth and does not fall to.
I would recommend this hand blender, he does what he should, namely puree, cream and shred open and in a record time.
