The shaft, the bell, and the pan you already own · review
Philips HR2681/00 review
The 5000 Series Essential Set: 1,200 W with ProMix — a shaped blade unit and a blade splash guard matched to the motor — plus an LED speed display and SpeedTouch control. A one-touch button swaps attachments without setting the blender down, and the shaft detaches to be rinsed under the tap.
The net of it The one designed around the interruptions. Two specifications here are about the awkward moments rather than the blending: an LED that shows the speed you are actually on, and a one-touch swap Philips states can be done without setting the blender down — which anyone who has juggled a dripping shaft and a chopper lid will value. The gap is dimensional: Philips publishes none of the four figures that describe the physical tool.
Designed around the annoying part
Two of the published specifications here are not about blending at all.
The first is a one-touch attachment change that Philips states works
without setting the blender down. The second is an LED speed display
paired with SpeedTouch control — so the speed is read rather than
estimated from how hard a finger is pressing.
Neither makes a smoother soup. Both remove a specific daily irritation,
which over five years is arguably the better trade.
ProMix
Philips’s name for matching three things to each other: the motor, a
uniquely shaped blade unit, and a blade splash guard. The guard
being part of the design rather than an afterthought is the useful part —
the bell is what decides splashing.
1,200 W
Equal to the NWOUIIAY, below the LEBENLANG’s 1,500 W, double the WMF’s
600 W. As noted across this family, price and power do not move together
here.
What is not published
Shaft length, bell diameter, weight, cable length, and the number of
speeds. SpeedTouch is described as intuitive rather than counted. For a
tool judged in someone else’s saucepan, that is the wrong set of blanks.
The plus side, and the minus
Strengths
LED speed display — the only visible speed readout in this family
One-touch attachment change, stated to work without putting the blender down
Detachable shaft, rinsed under running water
1,200 W with a blade unit and splash guard Philips states are designed together
Compromises
No shaft length, bell diameter, weight or cable length published
No speed count published — SpeedTouch is described, not quantified
The British price is around 60% above the German one
No offer on Amazon US at the time of writing

What readers want to know
What does the LED display show?
Philips pairs SpeedTouch control with an LED speed indicator so the current speed is visible rather than guessed from finger pressure. It is the only speed readout among the stick blenders on this site.
How is it cleaned?
Philips states the blending shaft detaches and is rinsed under running water. Whether any part is dishwasher-safe is not published for this model, and the manual shipped with your unit is the authority.

The buyer this one serves, among kitchen appliances
Everyday work where changing attachments mid-recipe is the annoyance to remove.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for kitchen appliances and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
The most powerful stick blender here at 1,500 W, with Two-Blade Technology, a stepless speed spread over fifteen modes and a two-button layout. LEBENLANG publishes what almost nobody in this family does: the weight (0.9 kg (2 lb)) and the cable length (1 m (3 ft)). An 800 ml beaker and an anti-splash cone are supplied.
Best for: Someone who holds the blender for a while and wants to know what they are holding.
A six-piece stick blender set: blending shaft, chopper, mixing bowl and whisk in 304 stainless, 1,200 W, an ergonomic non-slip grip, a watch-shaped stainless bell the maker states reduces splashing, and a stand that holds the accessories.
Best for: A first stick blender with everything in the box, on a budget.
600 W · Cromargan stainless · 15.4 in long · 220 V European model
Kult X, a five-piece set built around a 600 W motor and a detachable Cromargan stainless shaft. WMF publishes the dimensions — 3.1 × 2.4 × 15.4 in (8 × 6 × 39 cm) — and a 3 ft (1 m) cable, uses a 2+2 blade design with a removable blade unit, and supplies a whisk, a masher, a chopper and a 24 oz (700 ml) beaker, all dishwasher-safe.
Best for: A set that will still be in the drawer in ten years, in a kitchen that does not need 1,500 W.
