Direct unpack noticed that the hand blender and the supplied accessories have been manufactured with high quality materials and super processed. What I, however, do not like so much is the charger kit. This consists of two parts and need to be plugged together. In addition, the mounting of the hand blender in the charging cradle is something hakelig.
My first test runs of the hand blender led to perfect results. Curry sauce with Annanas-, apple, banana and pieces has mashed the hand blender without any problems and very uniform. And this without a trace of splash! (With my old blender the sauce was then spread over the stove ...) The big advantage is the freedom of movement, which can be enjoyed thanks to the wireless device. Even the mixing of Smoothies The included cocktail shaker was a breeze.
Philips is applying the blender among other things with an ice crusher. My concerns about this feature were only a few seconds as weggemixt than I stand pefektes crushed ice in front of me! I'm still very excited. In addition to ice me the XL chopper already crushed and onion and nuts without any problems.
The safety switch, which is criticized in other reviews often, I think quite useful because the device just always (!) Is supplied with power.
Conclusion: The Philips HR1378 is a very chic, modern and battery-operated hand-held blender, which was very well made, well in the hand and also has exceeded all my expectations.
