Philips Viva Collection Mixer HR3740/00

The mixer can prepare all baked goods and is very easy to use. It feels solid and powerful. The plug-in mixers are nice and sturdy. It therefore feels like a sustainable product. The settings have a nice build-up in speed and the mixers click in and out easily. When the mixer is on, it feels light in the hand. What I also really like about this mixer is that the dough does not creep up. I have experienced this with previous mixers. It also goes nicely along the edges and gives each dough a nice smooth emulsion. In short, I am very satisfied and can recommend it to everyone.

I had the opportunity to test the Philips Mixer for a few weeks and I am quite satisfied with it. The build quality of this mixer is solid; it feels sturdy and seems to be well put together. The beaters are made of heavy metal, which I really like because it gives a feeling of solidity while mixing. The mixer is also easy to clean. However, I do notice that the device is quite heavy, which can sometimes make it a bit tiring to use. The first speed setting is also quite fast. This is not always useful if you want to start mixing carefully. A slightly slower start would have been better in my opinion.

I had the opportunity to test the Philips Mixer 5000 series HR3740/00 for a few weeks and I am very satisfied with this mixer. It has 5 settings and a turbo setting. The mixer is very powerful. If you want to whip something thin in setting 1, it will splash a lot. It is therefore recommended that you put a splash cover over your bowl while mixing. Naturally, it is ideal for thicker batters or pasta. Then you don't have to worry about splashing. Especially with turbo mode that provides extra power if you need it, but in practice this does not really appear to be necessary. It is also useful that you can buy a standard with (automatically rotating) bowl of up to 3 liters for this mixer for a relatively small price difference. It is difficult to see which knocker should go on the left or right, but you will find out quickly enough if it does not stay stuck.
