Description
Powerful 1200W Blending. Precise SpeedTouch Control. Versatile Accessories for Everyday Food Preparation.
Take on everything from smooth sauces and creamy soups to chopping, whisking, slicing and shredding with the Philips 5000 Series Corded Hand Blender - HR2685/00. Described by Philips as its strongest hand blender yet, this versatile kitchen companion combines a powerful 1200W motor with ProMix Technology and an extensive collection of food-preparation accessories.
Philips states that the Series 5000 delivers 50% more power compared with its specified previous model, giving you the performance needed to tackle demanding ingredients and achieve fast, smooth results. From frozen-fruit smoothies and homemade nut milk to everyday sauces and blended recipes, the powerful motor gives you plenty of versatility in the kitchen.
Patented ProMix Technology combines the powerful motor with a specially shaped blade unit and splash guard to optimise food movement while blending. The wave-shaped lower section is designed to reduce food becoming trapped around the blade, helping make both blending and clean-up more convenient.
SpeedTouch Technology puts control directly at your fingertips. Begin gently to help minimise splashing, then progressively press the trigger to increase blending speed as required. An LED speed indicator provides clear visual feedback, helping you control the appliance more precisely as you work.
This model is much more than a stick blender. A 1.7-litre food processor attachment expands its capabilities to chopping, slicing, shredding and granulating, while the 0.5-litre compact chopper handles smaller preparation jobs. There's also a whisk for preparing cream, mayonnaise, pancake batter and dressings, giving you one versatile system for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

1200W of Powerful Blending Performance
At the heart of the Philips 5000 Series is a powerful 1200W motor designed to make light work of demanding blending tasks.
Philips describes this as its strongest hand blender ever, with 50% more power compared with the manufacturer's specified previous model. The additional power is designed to produce fast and smooth results across a variety of recipes and ingredients.
Philips specifically highlights uses including homemade nut milk and frozen-fruit smoothies, alongside everyday blending tasks such as soups and sauces.
Patented ProMix Technology
Power is combined with Philips ProMix Technology to deliver efficient food circulation around the blade.
The system brings together the motor, uniquely shaped blade unit and specially designed splash guard to optimise the movement of ingredients during blending. This helps produce consistent results while also making the appliance easier to clean after use.
Anti-Splash Blade Guard
Keep splashes under better control with the specially designed ProMix blade guard.
Its shape is engineered to help contain both larger and smaller splashes while blending. The wave-shaped bottom of the blending bar also traps less food around the blade, making post-cooking clean-up more straightforward.
SpeedTouch Variable Speed Control
SpeedTouch Technology gives you intuitive control without having to repeatedly stop and select fixed speed levels.
Begin with gentle pressure on the trigger for a slower start, helping minimise splashes, then gradually press harder to increase the blending power as your recipe requires.
This progressive control makes it easy to adapt the blender's performance as ingredients change consistency.
LED Speed Indicator
An integrated LED speed indicator provides useful visual feedback while you're working.
Combined with the SpeedTouch trigger, it helps you judge and control blending speed more precisely when preparing different foods.
1.7-Litre Food Processor Attachment
Turn your hand blender into an even more versatile food-preparation system with the generous 1.7-litre food processor attachment.
Designed with larger quantities and family food preparation in mind, it includes an S-blade for chopping bigger batches as well as three additional processing discs.
Slice, Shred & Granulate
The food processor provides several preparation options beyond conventional chopping.
Its three supplied discs allow you to slice thick or thin, shred thick or thin and granulate ingredients. Philips highlights uses such as preparing potatoes for mash and processing cheese, giving you plenty of flexibility for everyday meal preparation.
0.5-Litre Compact Chopper
For smaller jobs, attach the 0.5-litre compact chopper.
It's ideal when you don't need the larger food processor and can be used for tasks including chopping onions and herbs, crushing nuts and preparing meat.
Whisk Accessory
Swap the blending attachment for the supplied whisk when your recipe needs a lighter touch.
Philips recommends the whisk for preparing fluffy whipped cream, smooth mayonnaise, pancake batter and salad dressings, expanding the blender's usefulness for both sweet and savoury recipes.
One-Touch Attachment Release
Changing between tasks is quick and straightforward thanks to the one-touch attachment release.
A single button releases the blending bar, allowing you to change compatible attachments with one hand without having to put the entire blender down first.
Stainless Steel Blade
The blending system uses a stainless steel blade designed to withstand regular food preparation while delivering effective cutting and blending performance.
The supplied technical specification gives a maximum rotational speed of 15,000 RPM.
BPA-Free Food Contact Components
The supplied specification identifies the product as BPA-free, while the jar material is listed as SAN plastic.
This combines lightweight food-preparation accessories with the powerful metal and plastic construction of the main appliance.
Designed for Convenient Cleaning
The detachable blending bar can be released from the motor unit and rinsed under running water, helping simplify everyday clean-up.
The supplied technical specification states that the parts are not dishwasher safe, so accessories should be cleaned according to Philips' care instructions rather than placed in a dishwasher.
Compact, Practical Storage
Despite the wide range of included food-preparation options, Philips has designed the blender and attachments with efficient storage in mind.
This helps make the Series 5000 practical for kitchens where cupboard and worktop space is at a premium.

Important Information
Philips describes the Series 5000 as providing 50% more power. This is a manufacturer comparative claim against its specified reference model and should not be interpreted as 50% more power than every other hand blender.
The supplied marketing information describes the blender as capable of handling demanding ingredients and specifically references frozen-fruit smoothies. However, the technical specification lists dedicated ice-crushing capability as not applicable, so this listing does not claim that the appliance is an ice crusher.
The technical specification lists the core functions as blending, whisking and chopping. The supplied 1.7L food processor additionally provides slicing, shredding and granulating functionality through its dedicated accessories.
The supplied accessory table labels the food processor as a related accessory, while the main product description explicitly describes the 1.7L food processor as part of this model's accessory package. This listing follows the detailed product description and treats the food processor as supplied with the HR2685/00 package described here.
The product information states that components are not dishwasher safe. The detachable blending bar is instead described as easy to rinse under running water. Always follow Philips' cleaning instructions for each individual component.
The supplied specification does not confirm compatibility with hot ingredients. Appropriate temperature and usage guidance in the Philips instructions should therefore be followed when blending soups, sauces or other cooked foods.
The Philips 5000 Series Corded Hand Blender in Black - HR2685/00 combines 1200W of powerful blending performance with versatile food-preparation accessories. ProMix Technology supports fast, smooth blending with reduced splashing, while SpeedTouch and the LED speed indicator put precise control at your fingertips. Add the 1.7L food processor, 0.5L compact chopper and whisk, and you have a flexible kitchen system capable of blending, chopping, whisking, slicing, shredding and granulating for a wide range of everyday recipes.
