Philips HR 1659/90 blender cuts into cubes (pros and cons)

and I put a Berner-like grater on the top shelf in the cabinet. I either have very small quantities, which are easier with a knife, or large, which are faster with a phillips

Hello girls!
This device is very attractive. I would like to clarify a few points:
can ice be chopped in it?
How convenient is a cabbage shredder?
only radishes and cucumbers can be cut into circles (will it cope, for example, with a sausage or smoked sausage)?
The blender is only good for cubes or provides some kind of help for the rest (chop, chop, beat, rub, cut)
I will be very grateful

and ... and most importantly I forgot ..... Does it grind only in the mill? the big bowl exists only for dough and that's it? is there an opportunity to buy knives in a large bowl or somehow solve this issue in a different way?
There is no opportunity to buy many different appliances - the kitchen is very small, so I want everything in one device to the maximum

It grinds only in a small container, I don’t know about "buy". I didn't shred cabbage. I somehow have a hard time imagining how cabbage is shredded in such combines - how to push it into a narrow hole, so I did not try. I did not knead the dough either, because a complete other technique, and in this blender you cannot wash the upper part, so you don't want to wipe it off with napkins after the test. I bought it for the cubes - it does it perfectly, I also really like the grater. The chopper is also good, but I will not chop ice there, because a similar chopper in my old blender broke down very quickly. As a blender is good too.
I have yet to come across ideal instruments that do everything perfectly. All of them - they cope with one, with the other - no.
Shreds fine, but only one shredder thickness.

Chanterelle, read Temko from the very beginning, all your questions have already been answered, many with photos.
I agree with Rita, there is no perfect device that would do everything perfectly. Here you have to choose. About add. There are also nozzles in the topic for answers about a knife for a large bowl.

Thanks Lena! I am also pleased with this unit - exactly for the cubes, for which I bought it.
HP Brand regularly kneads the dough for me - a rarity already, by the way. The cabbage was chopped in a Zelmer meat grinder in a vegetable attachment.

I enjoyed shredding the cabbage. Although, here for an amateur, it turns out very subtle. I took it because of the cubes, are irreplaceable!

A new modification of this cube cutter blender PHILIPS HR 1669/90 (old 1659/900) has appeared. It is a little more powerful - 750 watts (instead of 600) and a reinforced diamond cut knife. That's all the difference, the equipment remains the same, it would be better if they made a large chopper bowl. Post someone a photo of how chopped root vegetables look (carrots, beets, etc.)

Go to page 2 and see everything!

Thank you, everything is cubed there. And I would also like to see how it does not cube on a round disk, but RUBS RAW vegetables (carrots, celery, beets) for frying the soup.

I was kneading shortbread dough. Mixed up perfectly! Then I slightly kneaded it with my hands.Keep in mind the large volume will not knead here. 300 grams of flour just right.

Photos of grated raw vegetables are also there.

I’m for vegetable saltiks like this: I fold a few cabbage leaves into a tight tube and forward, I do the same with pepper, cut it into segments, put one into one, it turns out thinly and beautifully, but this, of course, only for small portions. At least for borscht, hodgepodge, I chop everything on this blender. Satisfied with absolutely everything

the chopper does an excellent job with meat, laid in small portions of beef, and the minced meat for meatballs is ready in a matter of minutes, this is when you don't want to mess with the meat grinder

I have just such a model PHILIPS HR 1669/90, power 600w

is this cube attachment only suitable for this phillips model? I liked Philips HR7762 / 90 more in terms of functionality, but, of course, I really want cubes ...

Wow. And I never tried to rub the cabbage. Thanks for the idea.

I dough for charlotte, and in general I knead batter for pies, muffins, cookies in a large bowl without problems in a matter of minutes

For cubes only.

Did you mean this attachment is only suitable for this model?
Thank you, Catwoman!
Apparently you will have to buy a separate blender for cubes, and for everything else - some other gadget ...

Yes, Chanterelle, everything is correct.

I have just such a model PHILIPS HR 1669/90, power 600w

Strange, the 1669/90 model should have 750 watts. and a titanium knife at the leg, the bottom of the leg is triangular. At 1659 / 90-600 W, the steel knife and the bottom of the leg are rounded.

Girls, today brought home a blender, did not quite understand whether it is possible to overpower mayonnaise with it?

zoyaaa - of course you can - mayonnaise is made with the foot of any blender in general, not only this

Girls who tried to make chopped dough? What am I doing wrong? Butter with cottage cheese and flour in the bosch instantly collects into a lump, but here it beat and threshed and eventually chopped with a knife, it was too lazy to get bosh

Girls. please tell me. is it possible to knock down 200 g of cream with your foot. or do you need to buy a whisk?

Most likely it will not work. A whisk is needed for whipping.

Hello girls, have a wonderful forum! Can you please tell me if this blender can handle boiled poppy seeds with sugar for the filling? Maybe someone tried it. I was very tempted by the nozzle cubes, but it is interesting to learn about the poppy too. While in thought to buy or not.

And my New Year has come ... I gave it to myself on Sunday. Filipka ... or rather, two. 1659/90 and 1655/90. I decided that I live once and will buy what I like. "Ugly" Philips does not make a complete set to get it all at once. And to wait for spare parts for 2 months - well, I do not like that. You need everything at once.And then, for the money - it was not profitable to buy spare parts separately ...

I haven't cut anything for them yet (the food in the refrigerator ran out abruptly), so while the theory.

What is included:
1659/90 - The blender itself and its leg. Container for cubes, with a nozzle. Disc - grater / shredder. A small jug (1 liter) and a small container with a chopping knife.

1655/90 - Also a blender and his leg, the coincidences stop there ... Large jug (1.5 liters), it is also a container for storing attachments. Milk frother, whisk attachment. Large chopping container + two knives, one wavy, for ice and hard food. And - a nozzle for mashed potatoes. I forgot, another hook for kneading dough ...

Why both? Because we mimic the potatoes, we make salads. And two legs and two motors - well, they will be spare, just in case. I figured out that buying individual parts would cost me a lot more than buying both blenders at once.

What we liked. Almost all parts can be washed in the dishwasher, even the legs (for example, the bottom of a brown's leg, well, that's what they write in the instructions ...). Do not wash the lids of containers to which the motor is connected. Carefully, under water, it seems to me - you can. But, all the legs, jugs, and even knives are perfectly laid out in the PMM .. Convenientoooo
Also - rubber rings on the containers so that they do not crawl on the table.

That's all for now. I will try to show you how I will cook what.

I came to cry, my filipok does not want to work with either a cube cutter or a grater anymore. The motor itself is running, and these two nozzles have stopped rotating. The chopper is turning. Tomorrow, if s. c. works, I'll go give up. And I did nothing at all - exactly 3 months

Here are the tree-sticks !!! I was afraid of this when I bought Filia. Phillips, who I had before, also broke the grinding containers very quickly, although the motor is still running.
But it's good that you have a warranty case.

The dispatcher in Phillips replied that the warranty case or not, only the SC master will install.

Or maybe the oil was washed out there?
The design is kind of simple ...

So, we urgently need to trim in tons of everything, until the year of the guarantee is out

about oil and I don't know what to say, I didn't really wash this big black bandura, according to the instructions, you can't wash it ... I rinsed it so much from the side that it came into contact with the food ...

yes, and in tons I didn’t scourge

I suspect that the attachments have nothing to do with it. Apparently, the clutch is covered, which stands in the "motor" itself and protects it from excessive loads so as not to burn the engine itself if the load increases greatly, for example, something gets jammed in the attachments, a bone in the meat, etc. Then there is no load, the motor turns, and with "heavy" nozzles it starts to turn into idle, the safety clutch slips. Do not worry if spare parts are available in the SC, I think the repair should be "cheap". If the couplings are on sale, take a couple in reserve, they may still come in handy, and then they may not be.

Today I saw on the official Philips website that you can now buy separately several attachments and grids for the main attachment, with cubes of different sizes and triangles (cool, probably - a salad of triangles) It's a pity that the grids do not change on our model, you have to buy a whole new attachment But it costs almost like a new blender. And in general, they have prices for everything
Here is a reference, maybe someone will come in handy.

Come on them with this policy of pulling money. : mad: Only recently, two months ago, I was looking for them for this new announced blender-cube cutter HR 1669/90 (since the knife is titanium there and the power is greater) instead of 1659/90, so I could not find it anywhere on sale, it was simply not in free sale. So I bought 1659/90 with a tightly sealed cube grate. And now it turns out that in 1669/90, the grilles are also changing, this was not mentioned anywhere on their website at all. I bought mine for 5 thousand, and this one costs 8 thousand, and the whole difference is in two additional inserts. It would be better if I bought a VITEK VT 1480 blender - a cube cutter, a complete analogue, and there are also three replaceable discs for shredding, instead of one, and a potato grinder, and a whisk - in general, a complete set and all this in bulk for 5 thousand.

The new Philips HR 1669/90 model will have exactly the same cubes as the Philips HR 1659/90 ??? No one knows??? They wrote about the nozzles that 7 mm, 15 mm and triangles, but about the main cubes they wrote averages, and how many mm these averages did not write.

Well ... what bastards ... Besides the fact that 1669/90 itself is 1500 more expensive, it also has a cover, it turns out to be different. It's a shame. I saw these attachments, I also thought, how, I wonder, they change .. But nothing. Ely-pala, buy a new cup ... Okay, we'll survive without triangles, although it's a shame, but they want too much money.

So, I continue to study my 1659/90 and 1655/90.
First, and most importantly, if the manufacturer provides a special ejector for the grate, use it ... For three days my thumb hurt .. And all because we can't stand it ... and we need to wash urgently and poke around in this grate with our hand ... nasty, the edges of this cube rack are sharp ...

The second is the small chopper (from 1659) - really small. 140 gr parmesan - with great difficulty, you need to put no more than 100 grams. I did not regret that I bought a second blender, there is an average chopper - twice as much. And then the small 200 grams of cheese had to be ground twice. Cheese chopped fine... Real Parmesan is difficult to grate, it is usually chopped with a chopper, such a crumb is obtained. Since the cheese is very hard, a regular grater can become dull.

So what else. I cooked borscht, because my finger - see above, I grated and cut all vegetables in a blender. At first I thought I wouldn't like the size of the grater. It turned out - the very thing for soups! Not small and not large, in general, that's what you need. The beets and carrots were both happy. Cabbage, cut with the same disc, was also quite satisfactory. You just need to carefully insert it into the product receptacle so that it becomes smaller across, and not along.

Chopped Olivier, well, where without him? ... For myself, I made a conclusion - I chop eggs with my hands, everything else can be done with a blender. One note - the food must be cold. It cuts better that way. If the food is at room temperature, the edges will be uneven, and the salad will not be neat. Just a feature of working with a blender. Eggs - it didn't come out in cubes, it turned out to be porridge. And yet - soft products forward, the manufacturer writes about this, and this is really better. No complaints about cucumbers or potatoes. I cut everything right. And the size, for example, is very good for me. Not small and not large, just.My grandmother taught me that everything in this salad should be cut into cubes the size of peas, which we add to the salad. That's when the taste turns out right. Proven over the years. The son-in-law runs on the Olivier.

Yes, slicing speed is something! 2 minutes - a bowl of 4.5 liters .... It's not even interesting somehow. Usually you sit before the holiday, chopping this salad. And then I didn't even notice. Although, on the eve of the holidays - very happy

That's all for now.

I also became the owner of this blender. The vinaigrette was cut so quickly that she did not have time to enjoy the process. I kneaded poppy seeds with sugar on a pie, puffed, but still coped with the task. I'm very happy so far. Thanks for the Temko and for the advice in it.

Hello, please advise what to choose now. New model 1669 or 1659? As I understood, in the new model, you can change the attachments? The price is not that important.

Since the price is not that important, then take a newer model.

I can't understand, on the sites the new model is somehow cheaper than the old one. Isn't there everything that is included in the old kit?

I took a chance. I ordered it on Citylink. It costs 5590. And HR 1659/90 - 6050. Very strange.

A funny situation. The price dropped by a thousand in a week ... The old one was 6500 everywhere, and the new one was 7900 ... wow ... And now the new 6050 ...

When they bring you - look carefully, one or the other. It should be written on the box. The completeness is the same there.

Tell me - does the new one have really removable grilles?
Today mashed with a nozzle from 1655/90. We bought potatoes on purpose. ... Quickly, I liked it. The puree turned out to be so airy, but you need to carefully drive the nozzle so that there are no lumps left. My husband liked that now he didn’t push mashed potatoes with a crush ...

Today mashed with a nozzle from 1655/90.

These mashed potato attachments are so lovely, I really do from another KENWOOD blender, but they are almost the same. Puree with their help is really airy.

Yes!!!!!!!! She's filming! And the grille remover and cleaner is designed for replacement panels! I haven't cut anything yet, just assembled, disassembled and melted it) At the same time I bought a multicooker, so the "cut into cubes" recipes caused a storm of emotions) Thank you for such detailed stories. I will definitely post pictures. By the way, the new model in Citylink is really 5590))) Cheaper than the old one)

1669/90 I did not find it in Ukraine, but I really wanted a gift for my beloved, under the Christmas tree

Can you tell me how many mm the cube turns out?

Centimeter. This is the one included.

On the topic of attachments. I looked at the link, looked at my own. I have sides 6 by 4 squares, and the smallest 10 by 6. So for different needs just different nozzles.

On the topic of attachments. I looked at the link, looked at my own. My sides are 6 by 4 squares, and the smallest are 10 by 6. So for different needs there are just different nozzles.

I also saw nozzles, they are glorious, but I thought that the main nozzle in 1669 would be identical to 1659, I already ordered 1669 to replace 1659 and was a little upset, until the nozzles are on sale I don’t know how long it will take, but 10 mm is too much for me , at 59 I have cubes almost 9 mm, closer to 8.5, just right, I already gave my mother 59, I don't even know how I will react to centimeter cubes now ...

Thanks for the answer about the nozzles. Of course, it's a shame for being in a hurry, but oh well.If nozzles appear in stock, then I will buy them and a lid from a large capacity, they are the same in thickness. Probably they will.

I would also like to have a smaller grater disc, maybe they will release it ...
