5. Ease of Handling
This hand blender works at the push of a button. This button has a soft touch as it is made of rubber. It has a concave curve that doesn’t feel unnatural for the thumb.
The handle offers an easy grip that doesn’t hurt the wrist when in use.
PS- it is mentioned on the beaker to not use the blender for more than 30 seconds at a stretch.
We think this may be due to the low power consumption of this hand blender.

Philips HR1351/90 250 W Hand Blender – Detailed Review
This hand blender is equipped with a unique S-cross blade. This strategically designed blade cuts and blends ingredients in both ways – horizontally and vertically. The accessories included with this hand blender (beaker and chopper attachment) were appreciated by the entire Team. They make this appliance a very versatile product!
For our review, we tried using this hand blender to prepare a protein shake and some chopping.
Protein Shake- This comes with a beaker that has a decent capacity. It also had measurement markings along the side which further eliminates the need for additional cutlery. To the beaker, we added a scoop of protein powder with a cup of water. The hand blender sits in the beaker very seamlessly. Just a few blitzes later, we had a perfectly blended protein shake! There were no lumps of protein powder and this blender added some volume and froth to the shake as well.
Chopping Veggies- The chopper attachment has a transparent jar. Whether you need larger chunks of the veggies or you wish to use them in the pureed form, the chopper allows for peeks mid-use. Another aspect of the design we liked is how easy the assembling is! Similarly, the grip on the handle is fairly comfortable too. The switch is made of rubber and has a cavity that doesn’t hurt the wrist or thumb after prolonged use.
On multiple occasions, we tried chopping onions, cabbage, beetroot, tomatoes, and a few other vegetables that have some moisture content. The process was easy and effortless.
