Review on Philips AVENT SCF883/01 4-in-1 steamer blender by Edyta Bartosiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked better, I spent money on an ordinary product.

We use only the functions of a steamer and a blender. It is convenient enough to put on a timer, and when steamed, turn over, drain excess water and grind. However, it is inconvenient to use as a standalone blender (heavy, small, uncomfortable, noisy), so you still need to buy a separate blender. After steaming, too much water remains and must be partially drained - i. E. you still have to open it and do something, and not just turn it over. If you are not going to use the unit for more than a year and there is absolutely not enough space in the kitchen for a separate double boiler + blender set, then you can put up with the cost and take it, and after a year (when the baby grows up) give up the double boiler and take a normal blender. Due to the shortcomings described, I consider it more optimal to buy a separate double boiler and a separate blender - it will turn out both more functional and cheaper.

Pros
  • There is a timer; In principle, it performs the declared functions; Compact storage; For a year it did not break completely, but it still works.
Cons
  • 1. Food gets under transparent plastic and cannot be washed there (see photo), as a result, it becomes unpleasant to use this thing. Neither the manual method nor the dishwasher helps. It’s good that mold with fungi hasn’t started up inside yet, otherwise it would be completely disgusting. Something gurgles in the white plastic lid too. 2. A rather flimsy design of the cup in the part of the lock - it either does not snap into place, then it jumps off. I think because of this the cup was put on incorrectly and the central tube was damaged when turned on (see photo). So far, this has not affected performance. 3. I don’t know what the blender is designed to grind, but the sound and vibration from it are so powerful, which is comparable to turning on a perforator. If the child is sleeping even in the back room, the blender cannot be turned on. 4. The dark plastic mesh with petal-shaped holes is removed only through pain and suffering, and it must be removed and washed after each use. 5. In terms of volume and ease of use, it is suitable only for a child. That is, adults can no longer cook two servings (and even one large one). Moreover, it will not be possible to cook steamed cutlets and so on.

Its pros: Corresponds to the declared characteristics. With its cons: It is difficult to wash the two-piece lid. But not critical.
