Watts, jar material, and what happens to ice · review
The 3000 Series, and the blender in this family that publishes portions rather than only liters: a 1.9-liter jar Philips states serves up to five 200 ml glasses. 450 W with one speed and a pulse, the ProBlend system, a dishwasher-safe plastic jar, and a portable drinking bottle in the box.
The net of it Bought for the jar, not the motor. 1.9 liters is the largest here and Philips states what that means in glasses, which is the figure a household actually plans around. The trade is stark: one speed. Not one speed and a dial — one. Everything is decided by how long you hold the button, and for smoothies that is genuinely enough; for anything where texture is the point, the Braun and the Tefal offer a range this does not have.
Almost every blender is sold on jar volume. Philips publishes what the 1.9-liter jar actually serves: up to five 200 ml glasses at once. That is the number a household plans breakfast around, and it is rarer in this category than it should be.
It is also the largest jar of the four here — the Emerio holds 1.5 liters, the Tefal 2 liters of which 1.5 are usable, the Braun 2 liters.
Not one speed and a dial. One. Plus a pulse button. Philips pairs it with the ProBlend system, which it describes as matching the motor, the blade shape and the jar design to each other, and with a stated blend time of 45 seconds — a figure carrying a footnote Philips does not expand in the listing, so we report it as the claim it is.
For smoothies that arrangement works: the variable is how long you hold the button. For a soup you want deliberately coarse, it does not.
The plastic jar is dishwasher-safe. Philips also supplies a portable drinking bottle — a genuine addition rather than a listing item, and worth checking before buying one separately.

For drinks, largely — the jar and blade do the work and duration decides the result. For anything where a coarse texture is wanted on purpose, a single speed and a pulse button is the least control of any blender on this site.
Philips supplies it in the box as a portable container. It is worth knowing it exists before buying a separate one, and worth checking against your own routine — it is the kind of accessory that is either used daily or never.

Best for: Soups and smoothies in a household that would rather not own a glass jar.

Best for: Hot soup blended in the jar, and a texture chosen rather than accepted.
