Hamilton Beach Power Elite Wave Action Blender For Smoothies, 40 Oz Glass Jar, 12 Functions Including Puree, Crush Ice, 700 Watts - Black (58148A)

I use this blender at work and I love it. It’s powerful enough to crush ice and blend smoothies quickly, and the glass jar feels sturdy (not flimsy like some plastic ones). The 12 functions are handy I’ve used it for smoothies, shakes, and even pureeing sauces. Cleanup is easy too since the jar, blades, and lid are all dishwasher safe.For the price, it’s a solid blender that does exactly what it promises without taking up too much counter space. Definitely a workday MVP for me.

I don't know why I was looking at blenders that cost 10x as much, because this thing does the job and does it well. I had a Ninja blender for years, and loved using it, but when it came time to replace it I just couldn't justify paying that amount again. Especially when my parents have a 40 year old Hamilton Beach blender that still works well. I only use my blender for smoothies, so I can't speak to all the other functions of this blender (or others). With that said, I can throw all manner of frozen fruits into this blender and it doesn't struggle. I've had issues with other blenders struggling to get the protein powder off of the walls of the pitcher, but not this one. The consistency is great, and it's not nearly as loud as some other brands out there. My smoothies are blended within seconds. I appreciate how easy it is to clean too and that it can be taken apart quickly. It takes up less space, is lighter, and still has ample capacity as compared to my old Ninja. 10/10 would buy again, although given how well it's made, I probably won't be needing to buy another.

Still use this bad boy to this day! I love this blender for a couple reasons as stated below!1. The blender is EXTREMELY easy to clean. The outside stays sleek and sharp if you just rub some dawn and water over it. The inside is easy to clean and take apart to clean.2. It fits in the cubby space between my air fryer and toaster perfect as it is not a tiny blender but not overly large.3. The Blender quality is solid. It does struggle on some bigger mixes that a more expensive blender might not, but with a little stirring action it still gets it done. Elbow grease has not killed me yet!4. The capacity is wild. Maybe too much for certain things on what this blender is capable of at a time. Like maybe don't try to blend 30 strawberries at once but maybe 5-10 at a time!Overall I would say I am satisfied with this blender and the price point it falls into. Would recommend for sure.

For the price, I’m honestly amazed at how well this Hamilton Beach blender works. It’s inexpensive, but it gets the job done perfectly if you use it the right way. The key is to layer your ingredients correctly—once you do that, it blends smoothly without any issues.I saw other reviews saying it doesn’t blend well, but I think it just comes down to proper layering. For the cost, you really can’t beat it. It’s a solid little blender that performs better than I expected.

I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Blender and I’m very satisfied with it so far. It came well-packaged with both the base and the glass jar protected in plastic. The design is sleek, and the stainless steel finish looks modern and stylish in my kitchen.The blender is easy to assemble and the glass jar feels sturdy and high quality. I really like the control panel — it’s straightforward, with clearly labeled settings for different blending needs such as smoothies, ice crushing, and more. The pulse function is especially useful when I want to control the blending texture.I haven’t used it extensively yet, but the first impression is excellent. It seems powerful and well-built. I look forward to using it more for smoothies, sauces, and other recipes.So far, I highly recommend this blender for its quality and value!

I have made TONS of shakes with this thing -- I'm talking protein shakes with yogurt and everything. This thing doesn't even blink.Wanna chop some ice? Can't help you there. I haven't even tried it -- but it is strong, so I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it worked just fine.It's pretty noisy. Spend more money, and you can get something quieter, but unless you're using this all day long, honestly I cannot imagine a better bargain.Bonus: it looks great on your counter!

Recently, my blender broke and I bought this during Amazon Days. The price was right and the pitcher is glass. All I use my blender for is making smoothies. My other one had a blade that went all the way up and seemed to be quicker and more quiet. This one is quite noisy and takes forever. Keep in mind my smoothies consist of frozen fruit, yogurt and almond milk. The pitcher is smaller than my old one, but this one will do. I've used the self cleaning cycle and it worked pretty good. I've also put the pitcher and parts in the dishwasher. Totally dishwasher safe! The lid goes on tight like a Tupperware lid, so it stays on great during the blending process. It's a little difficult to take off, but I don't mind.
