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

Nastya, I also cook borsch with it, though at first I also did not like that I always cut potatoes into cubes, beets and carrots by hand, and it seemed to be small on it ... and then I decided for myself that I didn't care, but quickly ... I don’t like cabbage because it needs to be cut into strips, I’m quicker with my hands or specials. a knife for shredding cabbage, but I use it for pickling, because it turns out thin and long, for borscht it's not for everybody, I chop the onion on a fine grid or at low speed in a chopper, this is the only place where I use different speeds, and not turbo , and so for everything else just him, though I did not use the hook for the test.
In general, I would like some other sizes of shredders-graters, so I bought to grind Philips 1388, now I grind everything on it, but this is only cubes, well, or if cubes and graters are needed so as not to stain two devices, though in 1388 and wash it practically nothing.
In conclusion, I still love him very dearly, in NG he helped so much that we cut all the salads in a few minutes, the daughters were happy that their fingers were intact, and my manicure, and it takes up little space, so I'm mine I donated a combine.

And I tried to chop the disc, I liked it. Shredded for extinguishing. Yes, you need to cut the cabbage into small wedges so that they can easily pass through the hole. Oddly enough, but I had practically no leftovers. The onion remained once, cut into cubes.
Today I tried to make dough on khachapuri. Initially, the recipe was 250 g of flour, but I had to add a couple of spoons, because it did not want to be piled up. It's more convenient for me in HP, I laid it down, came, took it, and here I have to stand and press the button, but if there is no HP, then it might be an option.
Who has the instruction at hand, for what weight of flour the volume of the bowl is designed for?

[RybkA]

RybkA, apparently, whoever is used to it ... I have such cabbage for stewing (from Fili-cube) - well, definitely not the same ... as in borsch, the texture is incomprehensible ... I need larger ... For fillings in pies and for stewing - borscht for cabbage I will select the optimal cubes. By the way, when something is shredded or rubbed with a disc, a lot of grated / shredded stuff is stuffed under the disc .... You have to not only shake out the bowl, but also remove the disc and scrub this thing into the cup with your fingers .... not pinned ...

I do not regret the purchase at all - I needed cubes, and I got them .... Making salads now is easy, I'm wondering which bowl of Olivier my men will eat up on? While they are sweeping, as if they have never seen Olivier ... but now I do not eat it, but also look at it lovingly ... my preference is ...

therefore I will take into account troubles with a shredder / grater and adapt. Right now I'll go look for a Temko about Berner (maybe chop cabbage for salting).

Tatoshenka, I have three choppers ... I don’t like onions for soups, except that they are almost mashed in cutlets, so that the onion doesn’t come across juicy and on the tooth ... I’ll have too much Philips vegetable cutter ... I argue .... But I have a lot of things in it: there is an excellent grater for Korean carrots, there is a device Decok for fries ... for the sake of graters in the range ...

I also crumbled the bush on the cubes, took the largest cube. And I somehow do not really stuff. It can already fill up, if there is already no room in the bowl, but I crumble everything, I crumble

It's easy to make salads now, I'm wondering, on which bowl of Olivier my men will gorge themselves on them?

That's for sure. I was once asking my husband, cut the vinaigrette, everything is already cleaned. So he first forgot that we have such a thing, and then, as he tried it, he said that now he will be the chief director for slicing saladFFFF, that's a tricky one

Played enough with cubes all. And I have a question in connection with the new hobby for ham makers. Nobody tried to mix meat with minced meat for ham with a hook from this blender, or is it not worth trying?

[Asya Klyachina]

Asya Klyachina, I mixed, it turned out great.

[Lettera]

Yes? Thank you, that pleases me, I have to try. And here Lettera fears, says that the minced meat was hammered into the lid, it is difficult to wash. And my hands for 20 minutes. it is difficult and dreary to interfere.

The minced meat was smeared all over the lid, I kneaded more than kg. Then I washed the lid at an angle with a toothbrush, well, to be honest, I always wash it, and then I shake out the water, washing it so that the water does not get where the leg fastens. Or I put it to dry at an angle, water flows from under the lid. There, somehow, it is not at all hermetically sealed. I reassure myself that I don't immerse myself in water. My lid under running water from the first day of purchase.

I wash it too. But I make sure that water does not get into the technological hole on the side.

A wonderful unit. Thanks to everyone in the thread for the detailed description, questions, answers, recipes and generally for motivation) I bought it, I'm not overjoyed. I didn't intend to make the dough, there is HP, but a chopper for trifles, cubes, a grater and a good blender is what you need). Now you can not just freeze the dill sticks, so that you can then throw them into the broth (which, however, is also very tasty), but also chop them with garlic, freeze, and then at least in a plate, at least in a saucepan for flavor. Amazing!) Today I will get a leg for mashed potatoes and I will be absolutely happy) Good luck, girls!) In life and in the kitchen)

The milkshake turned out sooooo delicious. With strawberry jam)

It's a pity that it ended quickly ...

And who knows the Philips HR1689 / 90 model how it differs from the 1669?
I looked in the vastness of the network, I practically did not find information.

[Martin]

Martin,: bravo: Our people !!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Gradually pollinated. It all started with a dishwasher. Then in turn three multi and so on. Now I'm waiting for the Philips 1388 multi-cutter.
So the Philips HR1689 / 90 Blender is a new model?

Now you can not just freeze the dill sticks, so that you can then throw them into the broth (which, however, is also very tasty), but also chop them with garlic, freeze them,

Well, for some reason I haven't seen this message. I just cut the dill for freezing, and threw away the sticks. Here is a bald. Thanks for such a good idea. On the way there is still a bed of dill, if it does not burn out from the heat, I will definitely do it. Ira, what kind of attachment do you make? In a small container with knives?

Hello girls! Who has a set of removable grilles for Philips HR1669, if not difficult, please measure the size of the cubes on both grills and triangles! And then I was already exhausted, I can not find this information anywhere! Thank you very much in advance!

please measure the size of the cubes on both grids and triangles

One lattice is 0.75x0.75 (cm), the second is 1.5x1.5 (cm), the third is an equilateral triangle with a side of 1.4cm.

Tell me, pliz, did anyone try to ferment the cabbage chopped on this blender? Or is it quite thin?

Shred for a long time, and you will often have to disassemble it. Better a Burner.

[Olga]

Olga, thanks for the answer)) So I thought "it's worth the candle play", so it's not worth it

Tell me, pliz, did anyone try to ferment the cabbage chopped on this blender? Or is it quite thin?

On the contrary, it turns out to be fat, ugly and somehow, I don't know how to say. I do not like. Shredding on Boch is a completely different matter. In general, I regretted that I had bought this unit. I don't cut into cubes - large ones, I don't use shredders - I don't like them. I use one grinder, only the capacity is very small. Now I am looking for a chopper with a large bowl.

[Ludmila]

I don't cut into cubes - large

Ludmila, don't you want to buy a set with cubes of other sizes?
I bought it, cut it for freezing and for vegetable preparation "Lecho", I am very satisfied. I cut the "Lecho" into 2 slow cookers in 5 minutes. I used cubes from the basic set and small cubes from add. set.And it is good to cut fruit salads with triangles or large cubes.
Or you have 165nine? I have 1669, with replaceable grill. I bought this unit because of the cubes in the first place

Yes, I have 1669. At one time I wanted to buy, but I think they are expensive and I don't remember where they are sold anymore. There was a link, lost

And in the summer I bought it at a discount, in MediaMarket they were cheaper in one store than elsewhere, I arrived, the price at the stand is like on the Internet, and at the checkout they punch, as they went everywhere to sort it out, they gave me a piece of paper and punched that price on it that was at the stand and the prices were immediately changed there.
I climbed on the turn and the truth is almost nowhere

in MVideo it is written what is in stores and the price is written delicious, as in fact, you need to find out

In general, I regretted that I had bought this unit. I don't cut into cubes - large,

I bought for cubes, immediately purchased additional grates and am very pleased with the size of the cubes))

good afternoon! 1669/90 saw at a discount of 5900, and 1659 at a discount of 3900, which question would you choose?

good afternoon! 1669/90 saw at a discount of 5900, and 1659 at a discount of 3900, which question would you choose?

In my opinion, they differ only in power: in the first, the power is 750 W, and in the second, respectively, 600 W. I have 1669/90, at one time I chose more powerful

1669/90 saw at a discount of 5900, and 1659 at a discount of 3900, which question would you choose?

In my opinion, they differ only in power

Not only. The 59 has a non-removable grill, but if I am not mistaken, it is 8x8mm, while the 69 has a removable grille and you can buy a set with 3 others. But the one in the kit is 10x10mm. and the kits may not be on sale anymore. You need to watch.
I have 1669+ grill kit. I'm happy. It cuts everything except raw beets, but few devices will take it.

Not only. For 59, the grille is not removable

Exactly, but I already forgot!

I have 1669+ grill kit. I'm happy.

I also immediately bought a set of grilles, and I am also very happy!

[6]

I also immediately bought a set of grilles, and I am also very happy!

The only pity is that Chef, instead of 1669 added another 16 to the technique59 Therefore, I do not mark

It's a pity that the Chef, instead of 1669, added another 1659 to the technique

all the same, how lovely these cubes are: a-kiss: happy holiday everyone

!!! !!!

The topic died down, but I'm very interested in whether the blender still works for the first customers and what they think of it after several years of use.

works, works ... how!

works, works ... how!

Works great! Only with me it is rare, 3-4 times a year, for the holidays to use olive oil or vinaigrette.

it turned out that I have two of them))) and "small cube" and "large" (discounts and promotions have done their job))) one at home another in the country (twice a week I crush it for soup, then for horn, then for salad) broke down all time one piece disc holder in old model

Who knows where you can buy a pusher (pusher) - the cube nozzle is lost, but I can't find it separately

Girls from whom Phillips 1669 bought a potato machine? I don’t understand if it fits this model.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, kirch, I twisted it in the store, I wanted to spend the bonuses, the seller claimed that it was coming to 1669, but the number for which models it was intended for was not on the box. Twisted and left in doubt.

I don’t understand if it fits this model.

I don't think it will work. It is written: "Suitable for PHILIPS blender models: HR164x and HR167x". And we have - HR166x

Well, here I am about the same. So I'm afraid to buy. Although the accessories have it. Only it is not clear under what number it is. I thought m. B. who has

Virgo, I don't know my model number, it was bought from me as soon as it went on sale, several years ago.
My potato grinder is suitable, though I rarely use it.
Someone in Temko asked about his impressions after several years. So, although I rarely use it, I am glad that I have it! I use cubes for cutting apples during harvesting, I do not use a blender, since there is another, more powerful one. I don't use graters either, because there is another powerful and large machine on the table)

So I'm afraid to buy. Although the accessories have it.

If this attachment is in a regular store, then take the motor unit from your own blender and "try on" it in the store.If you order via the Internet, then "try on" at the point of issue. I don't see any other options so as not to be mistaken

This year the pumpkin finished off my cutter. Paved 4 full years. My purchase review is in this thread for December 2012. Here they asked if we were happy with the purchase. I'm glad. 4 years is quite a sufficient period for such equipment. This year I chopped apples / pears into cubes for jam. It turned out very tasty and beautiful. But the raw pumpkin turned out to be an unbearable burden ... Maybe the time has come.

The pumpkin turned out to be too dense ... Something cracked there, something went wrong. In short, it works poorly, the knife touches the lid. I have a model 1659. Buying a new cube cutter is an inhumane price, well, very inhumane. In addition, all other personal belongings work fine. And when buying a new head, you would have to re-buy both the mash and whisk and so on. I took care of finding a lid for the cubes. The price in the service killed on the spot, decently for 6 thousand, and besides, under the order. Found Philips HR7969 / 90 ( 🔗). This is a bowl, with a cube, grater and hook. For 2999 rubles. Somehow miraculously accumulated 1000 more points on the card, so this item cost me 1999 rubles. I will replace the old bowl. Ordered by self-pickup, took it today.

And I was very surprised. This model comes with a removable cube rack. Old 1659 can no longer be bought anywhere ... Well, okay. Yes, the cubes are slightly larger than those that were. I think this is not at all critical, 2mm is not particularly noticeable, especially if the salad is mixed well. IMHO, of course.

It is a pity that the sets of interchangeable grilles are no longer on sale. Only in rare services do you come across separate lattices (and quite expensive). I don’t understand what was the matter, either they were removed from production, or they simply didn’t bring enough. But I'll think, maybe I'll take another small one, if it suddenly seems to me that this one is too big. In any case, a cube cutter is a good solution and convenient for preparing any salads or fruit preparations. And, alas, there is nothing eternal ...

[Philips HR7969 / 90]

Philips HR7969 / 90... Found another difference from the old version of the bowl. The grater is now inserted on top of the dice insert. The nozzle for the cubes and the knife are removed, the grating disc is put on the leg of the knife. Not sure if this is a good decision. Previously, grated carrots got into the bowl anyway, but now, part of it will be smeared over the insert? Getting under the disk will be unambiguous. Or you have to rub at slower speeds ... In general, the sensations are not unambiguous.

And yes, the cube is larger than the old model. Although visually it doesn't look that big. But for the usual salads, you will have to buy a small grate.

Unsubscribe

I decided to buy additional grilles for the New Year. I took here: 🔗 In December, not all were available, but yesterday, as if they were waiting for me, they appeared.

All three gratings with two pushers cost 3690 (with delivery in Moscow). The firm is fast. Even too much Yesterday at lunch I ordered, immediately paid the invoice through the Internet bank and called the store herself. The girl immediately checked - the payment came immediately, and we discussed the delivery. They have delivery in Moscow through the Major company. Delivery was scheduled for Thursday ... Imagine my surprise when today, Wednesday, at 10 am the courier called at my door and brought my order. On the one hand - great, they brought it quickly, thank you. On the other hand ... What if I wasn't at home? The courier's documents indicate that delivery is today.

So the store is open, spare parts, if available, are really there. Now I looked, there was only a triangular one, which means I took the last cubes. But here's a funny story with delivery, get ready

We will try the lattices for the New Year. She promised her salad with triangles, waiting

Hello everyone, so I bought a cube cutter for the 164 series blender, but with the grates, it's really bad - it's on sale only at an incredible price. If suddenly someone sells gratings: the smallest and the largest, let me know. Buy at a reasonable price. I have long wanted such a device, but standard cubes are too big for salad and too small for stews.

89137520777

Good day.
Girls, does anyone have a Philips HR1679 / 90 blender?
Unsubscribe please, is it worth taking it?
There are few reviews on the Internet, but I want cubes.
When I have never used food processors before, there is nothing to compare with.
I need a blender, so I think, if the thing is good, I can take this one and several birds with one stone ...

[Cpilka]

Cpilka, I have a previous model HR 1669/90, very satisfied.
