I was not happy this blade is not very good compared to other blenders I have used in the past.

I use this blender at least once a day sometimes more. I make smoothies to go from home. I also make milkshakes here and there whenever I crave for one.

Great for making smoothies

I use this mostly for making smoothies. It works great with frozen fruit but ice you have to fo a few at a time.

it works good but doesnt blend all the things i have to stop and put everything towards bottom start and do it over and over. its a pain. takes forever to chop up a banana. it just pushes it back to the top. but once it gets ahold of it finally it chops up really nicely. its better to just blend liquids then to blend up and fruit.

Not powerful enough.

I received this blender as a house warming gift. Luckily, I received more than one blender at the time because this one quickly lost its power and I had to throw it away. This device is simple enough, it has clearly marked buttons depending on what pulse setting you want it on. It was easy to pour the finished product out without having it drip everywhere. When I tried it the first time I noticed it didn't have much blending power. It definitely could not crush ice, as I soon found out. Over the next 2 months I noticed it slowly getting weaker. Eventually it was pretty much useless so I tossed it. Blending Power This blender was lacking on its blending power. It was unable to crush ice and even frozen fruit would get stuck sometimes. Versatility Due to its lack of power I could not use it for very many things. I would use it primarily for smoothies but even that was sometimes a hassle. Ease of Cleaning I had no problems cleaning this device. Ease of Use This was easy to use. All you had to do was plug it in and press the button you need. It had a low and high setting, but also different pulse settings. Durability This blender continued to lose power over time, so it was lacking in durability.

A great product that is a must have.

It is a great product, durable, easy to use, easy to clean and gets the job done. The plastic jar makes it strong and not easily breakable unlike a glass jar. It is dish washer safe and needs little or no effort to assemble. It fits with ease into the engine house and can be used to blend a variety of items.Overall it is a good value for money. It will be better if the noise that emanates from the blender is reduced so that it does not increase noise pollution. Also there is this burning smell that comes out of the blender which I think should be improved upon by the manufacturers. I will love to see a 14 or 16 speed blender with a plastic jar for those of us with kids running around the house. It will also be a great idea if more than one jar comes with the package though at little additional cost to ease the stress of looking for a replacement for a damaged jar. I will recommend this to anyone anytime anyday.

Not the Best Purchase I've Ever Made

3

This was one of the more disappointing purchases I've ever made. Now, I may have just gotten a dud or I may have had my expectations set too high, but I really wouldn't recommend purchasing this blender. From day one it never worked the greatest. Crushing ice wold get the motor so hot you could smell it burning, making a smoothie was a joke unless you didn't mind large bits of stuff floating in it and just taking it apart to clean made me not want to use it. After several failed attempts at making various things with it, I ended up cramming it into the back of a kitchen cabinet to collect dust. It's been there for some time. I've hauled it around through a few different moves and, to be honest, I'll probably just donate it the next time I move to keep from having to find a hiding place for it again. It may be quite a useful tool for some, depending on intended us, but for me it was just a waste of money mostly. I think I'll spring for a much more high tech blender next time.

Purchased before Christmas and oops.....

I purchase one of these for the family for Christmas time. Made 3 smoothies in it and it froze up. It was hard to clean as the blade does not come out. There was leaking around the blade. Would not recommend. This is the second time I purchased this brand and model. First time lasted us 2 years.

Good, solid kitchen blender from Hamilton Beach

I like the blender for the blending action. It doesn't make smoothies as "smooth" as I want them, but I have another machine for that. I should have purchased a bigger one since I like to cook "ahead" and freeze soups and things for lunches, Excellent value for the money you spend on this blender, I have had mine for several years, It replaced a more expensive blender and it has served us well, Blending Power Excellent. It blends and purses like a dream! Versatility No problem at all Ease of Cleaning It is very easy to take apart and clean. Ease of Use I wish it poured better, but I use my spatula to control the thicker sauces when pouring Design Excellent. Regular hard working blender. Would recommend it Durability I sometimes smell a "rubbery' Smell when I am trying to blend something with ice. I stopped using the smoothie and ice crushing settings and that seems to have gone away. The pitcher is thick and strong glass. The base is solid and hasn't caused me any problems.
