Avance CollectionHigh Speed Blender

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was shopping for an affordable, quiet, reliable blender so I picked the Philips. Thanks to the closing lid you barely know it's even on. When making a fruit smoothie it's very well blended even after just a few seconds, I usually stop it after 15 secs.. I definitely would recommend this blender for ordinary everyday use.

This blender is a whizz, it makes Smoothies, Nut Butters and Sauces in an instant, plus the Dome makes it so quiet it won't disturb anyone around you. “I am sharing this review as part of the Holiday Sweepstakes.”

I love this blender, it was a gift and enjoy making drinks and soup.

I received this as a replacement to a small blender I had for years and wow what a difference. This blender is easy to use and elegant on my counter. It is durable and I am really pleased thus far. I use often for baking and smoothies .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Philips High-Speed Power Blender is a high-end blender packed with many features. It’s a showstopper appliance you will want to leave out for display on your counter. The fit and finish is solid. It has programmed settings as well as a rotary knob for speed selection. The program settings include Smoothies, Frozen Dessert, Soup, Nuts and Ice Crushing. Using the soup setting, I made almond milk from the recipe in the cookbook that Philips provided with the blender. It was delicious and very little pulp was left to strain out after blending. I really liked the recipes in the cookbook as they also suggest which programmed settings to use on the blender for the best result. I also have made smoothies using full sized frozen strawberries. After adding a couple of the large frozen strawberries to the blender doesn’t even hiccup, it cuts right through them. The power of the blender allows for very consistent results each time that it is used. Perfect milkshakes & frozen margaritas! With a blender as powerful as this it does produce some noise. After trying the blender with & without the dome, I determined that the dome greatly reduces the noise output made during blending. So if you are up for a smoothie after an early morning workout, and don’t want to wake the rest of the family when using blender the dome is recommended. There really are only a few parts of the machine that need washed after blending so cleanup is simple. The Philips High-Speed Power Blender is quite tall, at about 20 inches with the dome. My upper cabinets are about 18 inches from my counter top, so we do have to store it when not in use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is what high tech looks like in the kitchen! This blender performs incredibly and is a pleasure to use. I find myself making new recipes just to use the different functions and to finally have a kitchen gadget that functions flawlessly and doesn’t struggle to blend the ingredients (finally)! Older blenders like the Waring which I used a while back now seem like old equipment of a different era altogether. The Vitamix which I had been using until recently has some similarities but the Philips Avance HR3868 seems definitely more powerful. And the Philips has the noise reducing dome which allows me to use it even when other family members are present (and spares me the hearing loss). I have been using the blender for a few weeks now and the only thing I haven’t made is soup (except gazpacho). Smoothies are blended quickly and perfectly. It was so much fun making strawberry ice cream from scratch in just a few seconds. Ice gets crushed very easily, something that many blenders have difficulty with. Another highlight was making almond butter: I love freshly made nut butters, but I typically have avoided making them using the machines such as the ones at Whole Foods due to contamination concerns and difficulty cleaning the equipment used at such supermarkets. The Philips blender however makes any nut butter in no time and cleaning is very easy as I just have to clean the inside of the jar. The only thing I might change would be to have a glass jar as I prefer food to not be in contact with plastic but that would probably make the blender heavier and it is already big and heavy enough. I am thrilled to have the Philips blender in my kitchen. The feeling of enjoyment, creativity and convenience only compares to when I recently started using the Alexa voice assistant in the apartment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this blender 5 stars because it is powerful and gets the job done quickly. It's very simple to operate. I have used this blender a couple of weeks now. Takes very little time to blend up foods. Crushes ice and other hard foods with just a few pulses. I very much like that it has a lot of safety features, like the safety dome. Cleans up is a breeze with the quick wash instructions included. The dome is attached so that you don't have to disassemble it to tamp down the foods or add ingredients, just raise the lid and open the top. Super simple. It comes with a tamper and the blender lid also doubles as a measuring cup. The noise level is not much more than a smaller blender. This is a quality blender, nice design and features and very well made. This would be an excellent blender for busy families or anyone who uses a blender alot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have it five stars because I Love making smoothies and this has been is the blender it that has made everything so easy for me with the timer and just adding in all the ingredients it’s perfect I don’t have to go back and turn it back on because it didn’t mix up my ingredients well. And knowing that I can use it for so many different things including soups it’s great. Even though the noise reduction it’s still pretty loud it doesn’t bother me at all because I am in love with the blender.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is not only much quieter but has so many great features. I love the capacity and the ease of clean. We have made smoothies, I have made almond milk, juices, salsas, dough and almond butter all in the same day. I food prep twice a week and find that it was so much easier with the Phillips ProBlend it cut the time in half. With the large capacity I was able to make more in less time. Cleaning it was so much easier. No parts to take apart and reassemble. Food came out extremely easy and every time! Even my 10 year old daughter has been using it to make smoothies everyday. With the almonds I have had other blenders leave pieces not finely chopped up and blended. I didn’t find any when I made them with the Problender. It has several preset buttons and you can also blend manual if you would like. My 3 year old grandson spends a lot of time with me during the day and he never even budged during naps when I used it, super quite. This by far is my new favorite kitchen appliance and would recommend it to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a hands down 5 star! This blender is amazing. It’s works so quick and quite. It’s the perfect blender. It’s very easy to use. My fiancé who never even enters our kitchen has had such a time making his new favorite fruit snack smoothie!!!!
