Hamilton Beach Blender - WaveStation Dispensing 10-Speed  — 

My Hamilton Beach Blender - Wave Station started off great. It had the power I needed for making my breakfast smoothy every day. Unfortunately, not even a year later the plastic base, in which the container sits, cracked. I had to pay for the replacement piece. The Customer Service Rep. did give me a price break though - which I appreciated - and didn't charge shipping & handling.  That was all fine but again that same piece began showing little cracks. I could still use it until the plastic pitcher started leaking because it too was cracking. I could no longer use it & didn't think it worth continually replacing those faulty parts.  When I spoke to Customer Service they informed me that the warranty only covers the motor and not any of the other parts - so beware.  I opted to try another brand of blender.

In response to GretaJane's comment from Jul 31, 2009 at 4:36PM:

Thanks Greta Jane. That was so nice of you to comment. I have my own recipe for my smoothies. I start w/ water, add a soy protein powder that has all the vitamins & minerals I need (its vanilla flavored). Then I add Stevia to sweeten because my soy mix is unsweetened & because Stevia is a natural herbal no calory sweetener (no chemicals). I add bee pollen, flax seed meal (omega fatty acids), psyllium husk powder (for fiber)& a heaping tablespoon of Hershey's Cocao Powder. Then I add a banana, some frozen strawberries & sometimes I'll throw in some frozen pineapple &/or frozen raspberries. Sooooo yummy! & healthy & it holds me for a good 5 hrs or so. I enjoy it so much that I rarely change it up. It's very satisfying. I do Weight Watchers and due to my fibro, RA and a few other things going on I do my best to eat very healthy. Have a great night & w/e. Contact me again if you want the amounts so you can make the smoothy.

I've had the same problem with Hamilton Blenders. I love my Juice Plus Complete morning smoothies. What kind do you make for yourself? Have a great day. Nice review.
