PHILIPS HL7505 500W Mixer Grinder (White and Purple)

Pros:
1. Philips box, packing, internals all are of best quality matches the Philips minimum quality standards.
2. Wire quality is best compared to others. It’s a Philips brand so all basics are totally satisfactory.
3. Body plastic material is of good quality and well-finished. No place to complain.
4. Rotor plastic of motor as well as jars is perfect.

Cons:
1. Blades of all jars are fixed and non detachable with spatula spanner, they can be removed by simply unscrewing the coupler. This design has huge flaws compared to conventional blade couplers.

2. Jar Steel thickness is in the middle, not too thin not too thick. You cannot bend the steel jar with bare hands. But it doesn’t give satisfaction of enough thickness either.

3. Indian mixer grinders MUST have 3 pin wire as it provides safety, but this mixer comes with 2 pin wire.

4. All jars are of smaller capacities compared to any mixer grinder. Chutney jar is disappointingly smaller 300ml, so is the juicer jar!

5. It’s good ONLY FOR 1 PERSON, CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE FAMILY OF 3-4 PEOPLE.

6. Main body of mixer is too light weight that means motor is much lighter than any typical 500W mixer. Since its a Philips product I think I should rely on the motor quality.

7. Non thick transparent polycarbonte caps for the jars! the ones given are not good.

8. Blades are NOT really sharp and well designed. For chutney and dry grinding jar it’s simply a flat strip nothing else.

9. Shouldn’t cost more than 1500/-i bought it at 2099/-

10. Grooves to tighten the jar on the mixer are a bit tight, but I think applying oil will solve this sliding issue.

11. We definitely have to buy new jars depending on our use, the jars that come with mixer are good for only 1 person’s daily use.

12. NOISE! Mixer itself makes noise up to permissible levels BUT WHEN YOU ATTACH THE JAR IT MAKES UNBEARABLE NOISE.

If they add durable and bigger jars mixer would be a great compared to its competitors.

13. There is NO flow breaker grooves on the jar wall, so sticking the material while grinding will be a problem.

Returning it as i realized it cannot grind turmeric and other hard masalas. 750W motor is needed. so buying other brand.

I am writing this after couple of qeeks usage
1. The quality of utensils is not great was expecting the better quality and thikness of stainless steel
2. Grinding : i have used all three jars and the grinding is too good within 2-3min fine grinding is done quite satisfactory
3. Motor no smell of motor comes though it said lil amount smell may occour
4. Noise is also not too much compared to other grinders

Except one flow will give 4*
Must buy

To be honest this mixer is easy to use and does the job well. The only drawbacks are the high noise, heats quick,small jars but well built and sometimes it won’t crush/grind small particles. If you are looking for a normal mixer that is guaranteed to work for years to come provided you would not overuse it then this is the mixer to choose.

I bought it and gifted. They confirmed everything is fine. No issues with it . Thank you Amazon for your prompt service.
