Need a blender?

[Manish24]

need a blender for making smoothies so i can just keep it overnight for breakfast n stuff. should be able to blend fruits(bananas, blueberries etc), oats, protein etc nice and easy.

have no idea about blenders. i live alone, hate hand blenders, dont need anything fancy, something you have used and felt great value for money would be good enough for me. from flipkart, if possible.

apologies if posted on wrong section.

I bought this:
Philips HR1396/00 500 W Hand Blender - Philips: Flipkart.com

But I think this is more of a chopper than a blender. I suggest buying the thing they show on Teleshopping Network. I owned a unit few years ago and it worked very well.

ok i didn't get notification for this either via alerts or tapatalk.

@chromaniac what product of teleshopping are you referring? available on fk?

and did you try putting more hard stuff like fruits/veggies/nuts inside your blender??

Philips HR 2870-60 250 W Hand Blender - Philips: Flipkart.com

TVC Merlin 123! If you watch TV you would have definitely seen the product in the above video.

As for the Philips model I mentioned above... I have crushed ice in it. Works fine. Though not sure if it damages the blade. No problem for now. If you want I can record it crushing ice

dude even my hand blender.. simple one used to crush ice when i used to make mango shakes etc back in the day

i'm sure the product video you posted is much stronger.. see if you can crush strawberry, blueberries/spinach/oats whatever available in the house with ice (small cubes) if it works

the product video above is of a different model altogether. it was not very powerful from what i remember. i was talking about crushing ice in the Philips model i listed above.

This product is quite powerful. Handles ice just fine. And I am talking about real hard ice. Not melted one.

quantity is less dont u think?

its a chopper. i would need atleast half lt of smoothie to be kept overnight..

should i be looking at mixer instead?

 

[Sushubh]

the size of the container? hard to say. you can always buy a tupperware sipper or something to store the leftover portion?

 

[Manish24]

i do have a sipper
so you're saying chop/blend fruits+oats+protein first in this Philips model

then later mix that with a litre of almond milk+water in a sipper and shake it. keep it overnight. this should also work right?

lol. check out more products and go through the reviews to find a model that suits your needs more specifically.
