Product overview
The Philips 5000 Series HR2228/91 is an 800W glass-jar blender for smoothies, soups, sauces, milkshakes and crushed-ice drinks. Its ProBlend Crush system combines a six-star blade, motor power and jar design to circulate ingredients repeatedly through the cutting zone.
The glass jar has a 2-litre total volume and a 1.5-litre effective working capacity. The lower working figure leaves space for ingredients to move and helps prevent overflow during operation.
ProBlend Crush Technology
The six-star blade creates several cutting planes inside the jar, while the jar shape directs ingredients back toward the blades. Philips designed the system for everyday fruit and vegetable blends as well as ice when used in suitable quantities.
For thick smoothies, add liquid first, cut large ingredients into smaller pieces and use Pulse to reposition the mixture. Do not force the blender to run with a packed, dry load.
Three speeds plus Pulse
The three fixed speed settings allow gentler blending for softer ingredients and stronger circulation for firmer recipes. Pulse gives short bursts for texture control, ice and ingredients that need repositioning. Stop the motor completely before opening the lid or using a spatula.
Glass-jar advantages and care
Glass resists staining and odour more effectively than many plastics and gives the appliance a stable, premium feel. It is also heavier and vulnerable to impact or thermal shock. Do not pour boiling liquid into a cool jar or place a hot jar onto a cold, wet surface.
Cleaning and ownership
Unplug the appliance before removing the jar or blade assembly. Detachable parts are dishwasher safe according to Philips guidance, while the motor base must remain dry. Handle the blade by its support rather than the cutting edges.
