Held for the first time in the hand, the instrument leaves me with the same feeling to have to deal with a quality product. It makes a robust and high-quality finished impression. Even the stylish design of the device I like very much. The rod can easily be set up by pressing a button as well as remove. And then really power into play.
The powerful motor with its 700 watts of power coupled with the speed Touch-speed control (the harder you push the more power is executed, this one has 10 speed levels plus turbo level) does a great job. The hand blender is excellent in hand. I was disturbed in many immersion blenders that you have to press the power button with the thumb by a rubber membrane and keep what is not comfortable with longer fingernails. Here you push with flat fingers and everything goes easily. Also the available cable is sufficiently long.
The PĆ¼rier results can turn up absolutely. All vegetables that I've tried so far in the grinder or with the blender, the unit processed properly. Very pleasant is the splash guard by the bell at the blender. And also the fact that the removable rod unit is dishwasher safe comfort zone. So Dangerous fumbling when cleaning the knife omitted.
I can draw a total of only a positive conclusion. Class technology, convincing material quality, simple operation and easy cleaning result for me this hand blender a perfect score.
The only drawback:
There are accessories: a potato masher, a whisk, a larger XL chopper, but everything only in black!
There is a need for improvement on the part of Philips, because it would interfere with my aesthetic sense to use a white base unit black essays. If there are components sometime in know I'm going to buy me a whisk.
