Philips Series 5000 Blender, ProBlend Crush Technology, Powerful 1000 W Motor, 2L Capacity, Easy Clean, Multiple Speeds + Pulse Function, 2 Year Warranty (HR3573/91)

Product Information

Pros: Choice of manual and pre-programmed settings; Tritan jars; large capacity; on the go jug. Cons: Quite bulky on the worktop Easy to clean and smaller than the average jug blender, the Nutribullet Balance won't take up too much room on your worktop. It will however make itself known in use - when we used it to make a banana, raspberry and cocoa smoothie, the noise levels ramped up to 107 decibels. It also needed a shake half way through to get the cocoa powder to dislodge and continue to mix with the other ingredients. The powerful industrial high-speed 3HP (38,000 RPM) motor with 1200W power output can effortlessly crush ice. The two-in-one Japanese stainless steel cutting blades are capable of both wet and dry application. This blender is the ideal solution for any catering outlet offering blended beverages. You will have to take care when cleaning up as the jug can't be submerged in water, but it does have a useful pre-set cleaning mode built in to minimise on the washing up. With its powerful 1000W motor, it's not the quietest blender on the market either - we found it reached up to 106 decibels in our test.

What did stand out when we used this model is how quiet the operation is - nudging a mere 90db when we used it to make a smoothie with ice on the fast setting. If you only have specific ingredients in your fridge, you can use the Pantry section of the app, manually tap in what you have and it will recommend suitable recipes. There's also a useful Shopping List section, where you can make a note of ingredients you need to buy. What's more, if you're following a certain diet such as 'diabetic friendly' or want something specifically designed to boost energy, you can tailor which recipes the app recommends to you. The jug is made from glass, which makes it heavier than some of the plastic designs, but it does come with a handle and non-drip spout for pouring, which all adds to its luxury feel. While it doesn't have a cleaning mode on board, it does features dishwasher safe parts that make it easy to keep fresh. The blade cannot be fully submerged in water either but it was easy to clean with washing up liquid and a hot running tap.

Going “Beyond Clean” is what the members do for their customers every day of the year, providing service beyond reproach. Whilst we will always try to accommodate specific delivery requests from our customers this may not be possible and only be undertaken at an additional cost. For the toughest of cleaning jobs, call on ProBlend Industrial. Our authorized professionals are available to recommend effective solutions for the demanding cleaning needs of today’s industries. Thankfully, its relatively quiet operation is quite deceiving, as its on-board razor-sharp blades are designed at an optimised cutting angle to take on the toughest of ingredients, including nuts and ice. These stainless-steel blades have a hard titanium coating to make them durable over time too.

The minimally styled control panel has four pre-set 'Adapti-blend' settings illustrated with icons for juices, soups, smoothies and a handy self-cleaning feature.In 2011, the idea was conceived to create a brand that contained quality American made products made in the USA, and supported by local companies. The brand needed an innovative line of products that would bring the family run business a way to compete with the national brands, and at the same time give customers an edge with product, service, and equipment that was not only of high quality, but cutting edge to the market. With ProBlend users have over 50 fully customizable presets. Users may select within six main categories such as colorized drop zones, colorized sources, colorize both, uncolored originals, threshold sources and drop zones, threshold drop zones, and threshold sources. With ProBlend each category is specifically designed separately, to give the user flexibility over design and customization. Design wise the body is nice and contemporary in its styling with a stainless-steel body and lightweight Tritan jug made from copolyester. This material feels noticeably lighter than your average glass jug and has been designed to reduce odour transfer and staining after each blend - this comes in particularly handy if you're using the blender to mix up warmer ingredients for soups.
