Verdict
Philips HR2657/90 gave a good powder result on its first try, but the motor feels underpowered and the instructions are unclear.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Philips HR2657/90

  • Powerful 800W motor easily handles blending, chopping, and whisking tasks.
  • Intuitive SpeedTouch pressure button makes variable speed control seamless.
  • Highly versatile accessory bundle including a whisk, XL chopper, spiralizer, and travel tumbler.
  • ProMix triangular head design effectively reduces messy splattering.
  • One-touch single release button makes swapping attachments quick and simple.
  • Lightweight and comfortable ergonomic handle design.

What customers don't like about Philips HR2657/90

  • Certain geared attachment lids cannot be submerged or put in the dishwasher.
  • Manufacturer spare parts can be difficult or expensive to source individually.
  • Not optimized for processing highly dense or hard ingredients for extended periods.
  • Retail pricing can feel steep when not purchased on sale.

Verdict

The Philips HR2657/90 Viva Collection is a versatile 800-watt immersion blender constructed from stainless steel and ABS plastic, operating at up to 11,500 RPM with a 1.2-metre power cord. Key characteristics include ProMix triangular blending technology for smooth food flow, an anti-splash blade guard, and pressure-sensitive SpeedTouch technology for intuitive, variable speed control. It stands out for its extensive, dishwasher-safe accessory kit—including a 500 ml on-the-go smoothie tumbler, a whisk, an XL chopper, and a unique 3-blade spiraliser for vegetable noodles—which provides great multi-functional pros like efficient blending, uniform chopping, and creative meal prep. However, notable cons include its inability to safely crush standalone ice or blend boiling-hot ingredients directly, and the fact that its blending blades are non-detachable from the base wand.
