The jug broke quite easily about 8 months after using it for hot food (not boiling) and from the little research I did, it is better to buy a new blender. Also, from the beginning, the small container (which of course was convenient for me) released grease at its contact with the base, as if it was being eaten away every time I used it. When I bought it, it had good reviews but in the end, I was not satisfied at all.

I would say it is mediocre, especially in terms of the engine. I agree with the opinion that says "how a brand like Philips released such a mediocre engine".. you will be able to do your job of making juices, but it might bother you a little. I would like more watts, in short.

The jug has been very convenient for me, it is made of glass which is very important. It has a large capacity and also a small container where you can grind onions, parsley, and whatever else you want. I use it at least twice a week to make natural juices or smoothies, it cleans easily and rinses off easily at that time. As for the noise, it's okay, it's logical that it's a bit noisy. You don't even need seconds to blend a cake, my juice is ready!

Good quality and sturdy, but if it gets a little strained, it starts to smell. It even smelled to me up to the point of the baby's food that I threw away. The other problem it has is that the bottle doesn't clean easily, at least I didn't find a way to clean it.

The construction is good, sharp blade and very compact glass jug. But it is disappointing how a top brand makes a weak motor like this. I only used it for fruits. Whenever you leave it for more than 15 seconds, the motor starts to smell like it's exploding. Obviously, I was trying to make the smoothie smoother and it stopped working.

Excellent blender, very easy to clean as the bottom unscrews with the blades and you can clean everything. The jug is sturdy, slightly heavy, and very durable. I mainly use it for juices and smoothies and it works perfectly even after months.

Quality construction and very powerful.
We bought it to grind food for the baby but it didn't work out. It's great for fruit juices and other similar things.

I too was swayed by the comments here praising it, but I was completely disappointed after purchasing it.
Firstly, I must say that if there is not a certain amount of liquid, it does not start the fruit blending process as the blades are quite small and weak.
Not a good purchase at all, it gives you quite a hard time in its use.

I do not consider it a good purchase. To blend it requires a certain amount of liquid, otherwise it does nothing. It is unnecessarily bulky. Within half a year, the glass pitcher broke and the small container developed a crack, causing the juice to spill onto the machine, making it very difficult to clean. I do a much better job with the kitchen's blender.

Very powerful blender, sturdy jug made of durable glass, which can withstand high temperatures. I have had it for a year and it works perfectly!

The product is excellent for its price. It has a sturdy construction overall, with a powerful motor that has not jammed anywhere so far, and it is very easy to clean. We are very satisfied with this purchase, and anyone considering buying a blender with a small budget is definitely making a good choice.

Review with purchase at: 40€ - Use for 3 weeks

Only positive experience from this one, even though I haven't stressed it yet with greens, it turns all the fruits I've put in it (unripe mango, bananas, apples, kiwis, pears, frozen berries/sour cherries/cherries, etc.) into juice, with measured pulp, it's LIKE a regular juice! Sometimes I don't even see the kiwi seeds..

I've also crushed ice cubes with the fruits, it doesn't completely pulverize them but still does its job and doesn't break.

Very sturdy, SUPER EASY to clean, and the stairs and pulse mode (you hold it to rotate as much as you want manually) are very convenient and powerful.

It outperforms any juicer in my opinion, I should have bought it a long time ago. If you want to buy something related to drink nutritious things, with 40€ you have found your smoothie blender, I highly recommend it.

EDIT: Years later and it's still intact. Don't look any further, you found it.

A very good blender choice at this price. I mainly bought it for making smoothies and so far it has served me well. Sturdy glass jug with a satisfactory size. Because of the glass, it is easier to rinse. It also comes with the mini chopper, which is not easily found in cheaper models. Excellent quality-price ratio. €39 with shipping and cash on delivery to my door. I highly recommend it for home use.

Very good for its price! It also has power, I believe it doesn't need to be more powerful since it shreds everything so far!

I was looking for a small mixer with a glass jar, and the smallest one I found was this one. It is powerful and sturdy, but the glass jar broke when I used it with hot food, and it costs as much as buying a new one. If the glass was more durable, I would give it 4 stars (not 5 due to its large size)
