 Good but.... August 14, 2008

I have purchased 2 of these from Amazon. Both times the gear mechanism that connects between the jug and the base unit shattered when I blended ice. It's made of plastic and isn't robust enough to cope. Other blenders connect in the same way but use metal fixings. It's a great blender but you have to be careful not to challenge it too much.

I bought this item in 2006 and used it during the summer months of 2007 (mainly). With the start of summer 2008 we decided to use the blender to make smoothies only to find that the motor died. Philips are unable to replace the item due to the fact that we know longer have the receipt and with the cost to fix it, we are better off just purchasing another blender.
I have given the item three stars because whilst it worked it was really a good product. Don't lose the receipt and when the motor dies you will have better luck than I did.
For the amount of money we originally spent on the item I would have thought it would have lasted longer than two years. Unfortunately this seems to be a problem with most Philips items. I am officially no longer purchasing Philips,
 A Great Buy June 8, 2008

Having researched long and hard for a blender and the Philips being the one that stood out, I decided to try it even though it cost more than I wanted to pay. I have not been disappointed. The suction pads are awesome, the product can be easily dismantled for cleaning and most importantly it blends.
I am very happy
Highly recommended June 4, 2008

I use this product for making soups and cocktails at least weekly, and as back-up to my food processor for breadcrumbs, purees and chopping. I'm really delighted with it. It does exactly what any ambitious cook wants - and with its small footprint on your work surface and simply-assembled, easy-clean components it's never a big deal to use at a moment's notice. I also commend the supplier for his helpful and thoughtful after-sales service.

I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT, VERY APPEALING BUT VERY DECEIVING. MOTOR GAVE UP IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR UNLIKE CHEAPER BLENDERS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.
UNLESS PHILIPS DOES NOT HAVE THE WISDOM TO INCLUDE AND CHARGE FOR OR MAKE AVAILABLE SEPERATELY, THE FRUIT FILTERS FOR ALL BLENDERS USING THIS FANTASTIC FEATURE, THEIR GREAT PRODUCTS BECOME A PAIN. I AM A VICTIM AND SUFFERER OF THE NON EXISTENCE OF FRUIT FILTERS THAT HAVE A MUCH SHORTER LIFESPAN THAN THE MACHINES IN WHICH THEY ARE UESD. I DISGUST THAT ABOUT PHILIPS.THEY WILL NOT SUPPLY TWO IN THE BOX, NIETHER WILL THE CUSTOMER FIND IT TO BUY ANYWHERE ON EARTH. THAT IS BLIND THINKING FROM SMART PEOPLE. THIS IS MY ONLY GREAT NEGATIVE FROM AN OTHERWISE POSITVE MANUFACTURER, AND I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD MIVE QUICKLY TO CHANGE THAT.
