We got the Bajaj Military Series about 8–9 months ago.

For chutneys and masala paste, it’s quick. It doesn’t slow down much when the mix gets thicker, which is nice.

It’s a bit on the noisier side though, and the jar lids are tight at first. Once you get used to that, it’s fine.

Build quality feels sturdy, and it hasn’t overheated yet even after long use

I’ve been using the Philips HL7756/00 for over a year now.

No major complaints. It handles daily grinding pretty well.

The chutney jar is a bit small, but perfect for small families.

It’s easier to clean compared to my old Bajaj — less residue near the blades.

Only thing is, if you run it continuously for too long (like 15+ minutes), it starts warming up a bit which I believe is same with every machine.

Also, Philips looks better and feels smoother when running — less vibration.
Bajaj is louder, but you can tell it’s built for heavier work.
If you grind batter or masala in big quantities, Bajaj holds speed better under load. Philips slows slightly when the mix gets dense

Let me list some cons I’ve seen from using both:

Bajaj:

• Quite noisy, especially the chutney jar.

• Lids are tight when new; need force to close.

• Slight rubber smell in first few uses (goes away after a while).

• Slightly heavier body.

Philips:

• Generally smaller jars, so large batches need splitting.

• Gets warm faster if you overwork it.

• Cleaning under blades is tricky (fixed design).

• Handles are fine but feel lighter compared to old Philips models.

Not deal-breakers, but just stuff you’ll notice after regular use

I’ve got both at home — Bajaj Military Series in my parents’ kitchen and Philips HL7756/00 in mine.

Here’s a proper breakdown based on how they actually perform:

Performance:

Bajaj grinds faster when the mixture is thick or there’s a lot of masala. It maintains speed better when under load.

Philips runs smoother and makes less noise, but if you fill the jar too much or make heavy batter, it slows down slightly and takes longer.

Build & Jars:

Bajaj’s jars are solid and a bit heavier. The lids fit tightly (a bit annoying early on, but later they settle).

Philips jars are lighter, easier to handle, and lock nicely — better for quick daily use.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

Philips wins here. Wiping and cleaning the jars is simpler. Bajaj’s base design traps a bit of powder if you’re careless.

Both need a quick rinse immediately after use or masala sticks near the blades.

Noise & Stability:

Neither is quiet, but Bajaj’s sound is sharper. Philips vibrates less and feels smoother when running.

Durability & Service:

Both have decent service networks. Bajaj spares (like gaskets and blades) are cheaper and available easily.

Philips parts cost more but are easier to find online.

If your usage is heavy — daily masala, coconut chutney, dosa batter — go for Bajaj Military Series (Amazon link).

If you want something lighter, cleaner, and easy for small everyday tasks, Philips HL7756/00 (Amazon link) is more comfortable.

My take: Bajaj for raw strength and big work, Philips for smoother daily use

Anyone tried the Philips HL7707 with the food processor? Wondering if it’s worth the extra 2k.

Yeah, I have that. The processor is useful if you chop or knead dough often. But it’s bulky and takes space.

Performance-wise, same motor — don’t expect extra power.

Good all-in-one option if you don’t already have a food processor
