Thunderbolt vs. Silvercrest

My  baby, she’s gone. After years of hard working, whipping, blending, chopping, she unfortunately died. Years of loyal support in my kitchen are over. She was always there when I needed help in the kitchen. My dear Silvercrest hand blender, my loyal servant, she’s gone.

The problem was that I really needed a hand blender to make my dessert for the Food Revolution Picnic. So, I bought a new one. It was a hard decision and I doubted a minute about buying a Bamix. Although it’s probably the Usain Bolt of the blenders,  it’s just too much money. I wanted something like my dear Silvercrest with a chopper tool, but more powerful.

It was a hard decision, because they had so many choice. Braun, Philips, Kenwood, they all juggle with the most options, the sharpest blades, the most powerful motor and the most beautiful design.

I finally took the plunge and bought a Philips HR1617/90. The blender  has 650 Watt, which is more than the double of my old Silvercrest. I first wanted to show you a speed test between the Silvercrest and my new Philips, but I think the result would be obvious.

I know that compare to a Bamix, my Philips is just Sogelau Tuvalu (Who the h*ll is Sogelau Tuvalu? Watch this). However I’m sure that if I would compare my old Silvercrest with my new Philips, the Philips would be the real Thunderbolt of my kitchen. So I’m happy with what I bought and I’m looking forward to hopefully again a lot of years with this little “Lightning Bolt”.

Just for the sport fans: the real Thunderbolt in action. Damn, that guy is so fast.
