The Philips 3000 Series HR2041/50 is an everyday countertop blender built around the ProBlend system — a 450 W motor, a four-star stainless steel blade and a ribbed 1.9 L jar that keeps pushing ingredients back down into the blades. Smoothies, juices, soups, batters, chutneys and crushed ice all come out of the same jar, with one speed and a Pulse setting to control them.

This set adds a second blending jar and a grinder mill on top of the standard blender, so you can grind coffee, nuts, herbs and spices, and start a second batch without washing up in between. The jar, lid and blades go in the dishwasher, the base sits on suction feet, and the cord stores inside the base.
