The verdict
The Crompton DS 500 is a 500 W mixer grinder with three stainless-steel jars, ₹1,999 on Flipkart with 2 years on the product and motor and 4.2 stars from 56,802 ratings. It suits small households on a tight budget; the catch is small jars, no published jar sizes and owner reports of noise.
Best for
- Students, couples and small families buying a first mixer grinder under ₹2,000
- Buyers who want a longer warranty than Bajaj's budget models
Skip it if
- You grind batter for a big family; owners say the jars are small and 500 W is modest
- You want handles on every jar; only the large jar has one
What we like
- ₹1,999 on Flipkart, the lowest price among the mixers we researched
- 2 years on product and 2 years on motor (Crompton), double the Bajaj Rex and GX-1
- 4.2 stars from 56,802 Flipkart ratings, about 5.5% one-star
- Overload protection, three speeds and a pulse switch (Crompton)
What we don’t
- Crompton does not publish jar capacities on its page; owners call the jars small
- Noise and a burning smell on short runs appear in negative Flipkart reviews
- Only the liquidising jar has a handle
- Crompton's own page lists two different weights (2.4 kg and 3.4 kg) for the two colours

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this mixer grinder. Specs and warranty come from Crompton’s DS 500 product page, and price and ratings from the Flipkart listing and its reviews, read on 12 November 2026. We found no hands-on review from an independent publication.
We could not verify grinding results, noise or motor speed, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. Crompton’s page sends buyers to Amazon, Flipkart or a store rather than selling directly, and lists ₹3,500.
What you get on paper
A 500 W motor Crompton calls “Powertron”, with what it calls Motor Vent-X ventilation for cooler running, overload protection and a three-speed knob with a pulse position. It comes with three stainless-steel jars and lids: a liquidising jar with a handle and two smaller handle-less jars for dry grinding and chutney. Crompton does not list the jar capacities.
It is a compact unit at 19 × 17.5 × 22.5 cm. Crompton’s two spec tables disagree on weight, listing 2.4 kg for sky blue and 3.4 kg for black.
What owners report
On Flipkart the black DS 500 has 4.2 stars from 56,802 ratings and 3,400 reviews: 31,659 five-star and 3,103 one-star (about 5.5%).
Satisfied owners call it simple, strong and value for money for daily mixing. One says it grinds well and is compact but is “just missing handle to pick” and the jars are “quite small” compared with their previous mixer. Another notes it is lighter than their old Crompton.
The negative reviews point to noise (“too much noisy”), a burning smell after about 10 seconds of use, blades that are not sharp and a jar that performed badly. These are a small share of a large rating pool.
Support and warranty
This is where the DS 500 stands out among budget mixers. Crompton lists 2 years on the product and 2 years on the motor, and Flipkart shows a 2-year domestic warranty with Crompton’s toll-free number (1800 419 0505). The Bajaj Rex and GX-1, which sell for a little more, list 1 year.
Claims to treat with caution
- “Grinds heavy duty items with ease” is Crompton’s wording for a 500 W motor with small jars.
- “Motor Vent-X Technology” and “Powertron” are brand names; Crompton gives no temperature or endurance figure.
- ₹3,500 on Crompton’s site is the list price; Flipkart sold it for ₹1,999.
Should you buy it?
For a first mixer grinder in a small household, the DS 500 is the value pick of the budget models we researched: it is the cheapest, it has a large and mostly happy owner base and it lists the longest warranty. Accept that the jars are small and do not expect it to handle a big family’s batter.

Questions buyers ask
What is the warranty on the Crompton DS 500?
Crompton's spec table says "2year on Product; 2 year on Motor", and Flipkart lists a 2-year domestic warranty. Crompton's support line on the Flipkart listing is 1800 419 0505.
What size are the Crompton DS 500 jars?
Crompton's page does not give capacities, only that there are three stainless-steel jars with lids. Several owners say the jars are smaller than those on their previous mixers, so it suits small households best.
Is the Crompton DS 500 noisy?
We have not measured it. Noise is the most common complaint in negative Flipkart reviews, and one owner reports a burning smell after about 10 seconds. Most of the 56,802 ratings are positive, so these are minority reports.
