I've only used this blender a handful of times since having it. My husband and I have used it for mixing drinks for us and when we have had company over. It did pretty well actually, mixed well and pours well. Cleaning it is not that bad, the bottom comes out so you can clean inside thoroughly and let it dry. All in all it's a nice simple little blender and worth the price it costs. Note: I did not receive this product as a sample, however this was my only option besides choosing being affiliated with the brand which I as well am not.

This thing can blend a car tire if you wanted it to. I like to make superfood smoothies with it. For an energizing and refreshing, nutrient packed drink, combine carrots, beets, kale, orange, ginger, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in your Hamilton Beach 12 speed blender and blend away!

I did not realize how often I would use a blender until I bought one that works like it should! This blender has been a life saver! All of the different options and speeds are very nice additions. I cook 5 days out of the week. I am always thinking of ways to use this blender to make my night a little easier. Everything from making a milkshake, chopping up the onions, blending up those hot peppers..there are so many uses! It also serves well as a frozen drink type maker. A slushy for the kids during the summer and a margarita makers for the adult get togethers! I can at home also (stewed tomatoes, salsa etc.) Instead of killing my hands chopping up every ingredient very small for the salsa, I threw them in this blender and purged it several times. It came out perfect! Just the right type of chunky. I would recommend this blender to any of my friends or family. It has been a great addition to my kitchen and makes my meal times a lot easier!

I grew up knowing that Hamilton beach is a good brand but what made me buy this product was other reviews it got from other consumers which was positive and reassured me that it was the best brand of blender to buy.I enjoy using my blender and I enjoy how easy it is to clean and not frightening to wash .I love that it chops easily and blends well and crushes the ice and it hasn't cracked and so easy to use .

I bought this blender specifically for making smoothies. The selection of blenders was overwhelming! I chose this one because of the price and the reviews. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Sometimes it has trouble breaking up ice, but I just shake it a little bit and then it works fine. I use it primarily to make smoothies, but I've also used it for milkshakes. I'm sure it would be good for other things, too, like cocktails. The cleaning is okay. The lid gets a little warped in the dishwasher, but it can be smacked back into place. I wish the whole blender wash dishwasher safe, but it's not. I usually just soak the blender cup in hot water for a little while and then clean it with a sponge. It's not too much of a hassle. Overall, I really like this blender. For someone on a budget who doesn't use the blender too much (a couple times per week at most), this is a very good buy. Blending Power Sometimes it gets stuck trying to blend ice. Ease of Cleaning I wish the whole thing was dishwasher safe, but I guess it can't be perfect.

This blender is amazing. all other blenders I have had in the past have not worked the way I would like them to but this one fully surpasses any other blender brand I've ever tried. I would recommend this to all of my family and friends. If you're looking for a brand that stands by their work, then this is it!!

This blender works great. I generally use it to make the kids strawberry=banana smoothies. It does grind all the ingredients well. Although sometimes I need to turn the blender off and stir the ingredients to get it down to the blades to blend. That may be because of the frozen strawberries but I would think I wouldn't have to do that. I have never tried the many other features on this blender so I can not say whether they are good or not. The blender is a little loud, but I imagine most blenders are. . I can not use this blender for breakfast smoothies because I would wake up the whole house. I don't think the noise is extra loud compared to other blenders but I would still like to make smoothies for breakfast. The blender is difficult to take apart and clean properly. My husband has to take it apart and put it back together for me because when I did I couldn't get it to fasten tight enough.
