I just love my new Hamilton Beach Blender mode! I saw one at the store, looked at the reasonable price and said, "hey we need this!" The price was under thirty bucks, and it has ten speeds! So far we have made milkshakes, chopped veggies and blended ingredients together all in a quick flash. It really does a great job. The blending jar is very durable as I found out after dropping it on the floor by mistake. It was empty at the time or I would have to write about clean up products! This blender is pleasant to look at and doesn't take up a lot of my counter space either. My blender is white...
