Has good ease of use, but it's not great to clean. I am pleased with the Philips HR1757 Cucina although just dropped jug so have ordered a new one - also easy to do...

After using this Philips HR1757 Cucina Blender, I think philips need to use a stronger plastis material to produce the fruit filter. when it does break apart, the metal pieces get into the juice.
i am at a lost to understand why philips wont make available, the fruit filter as a gettable part, whats the mystery i just don't know. i have bought 5 hr1757 blenders because i needed fruit filters.

I bought the Philips cucina blender after 8 months it went into repair to philips service agents been four months its not repaired cannot be replaced and not offered a refund. No use for warranty never buy a philips product poor customer service better with another brand.

I am now on my THIRD Philips HR1757 Cucina blender because the little plastic arm that connects the motor, has broken 3 times.
I use the blender rarely and gently.

I have been through two Philips HR1757 Cicina blenders. In the first instance the motor died after six months. The replacement I was sent lasted only two months. I was using this blender daily to make smoothies from soft fruits: there were still lumps of fruit in the smoothie. Considering the fruits were soft the motor should have lasted longer.

I have looked at a number of different blenders since my Philips Cucina Blender broke and although they are mostly considerably cheaper they have much more robust "cogs" underneath that drive the blades and none of them have the silly plastic arm underneath which makes the electrical connection.

It would be a great blender it they addressed these points.

I used the Philips blender twice a week to puree baby food.
Sadly mine broke after less than a year's usage.
