 Excellent value Aug 16, 2006
By Elizabeth G. Melillo
"gloriana"
Since my new blender arrived, I have been on a spree of smoothies and sauces. The unit is versatile and very easy to clean, and I especially like that the 'wave action' eliminates the need to use a spoon or scoop to remove finished contents. Overall, it is a superb value for the price.

 Motor broken after two weeks Oct 26, 2007
By Flint Ravencrest
My roommate moved out, along with her blender. I chose this as a replacement since it was on sale and touted the "wave action" design. The first problem was that this blender doesn't do the best job of blending. The blades will just move whatever it is out of the way your blending and spin freely unless it's babied with only a little bit of material at a time to start things off. The wave action does seem to work and helps for adding extra ingredients to smoothies. it is incredibly loud and hops about the countertop unless held down. The base heats up very quickly and I have no doubt this is what caused the motor to fail. This blender is a POS in nearly every way excpet that it is easy to take apart and clean. but what does it matter when it breaks after being used a few times.

Noisy but AWESOME Oct 06, 2008
By k8nyc
This is easily the noisiest blender I've ever owned. I worry about setting off car alarms on the street when I run it. But it's also the most effective blender I've ever had. It's easy to clean, easy to run, totally powerful and I'd recommend it to anyone. An excellent value.

 Unusable after several months Aug 16, 2009
By Leo V
What is more annoying than having your milkshake leak all over the counter. This is exactly what's happening -- the "watertight" seal went bad after several months of *minimal* use (occasional milkshakes only; no ice crushing). The motor is showing signs of impending death -- it produces a burning smell and takes increasingly longer to spin up. Why did I trade my 5-year-old perfectly working blender for this garbage?
Conclusion: stay away from Hamilton Beach.

Low quality, smelled of ozone, sparks, died after a dozen uses Jul 19, 2009
By Mercurius Victus
Not much more to say. We use the blender very infrequently, but all it took was a few uses over a couple of years for the motor to stop working. Occasionally, turning the unit upside down would stir it into action, but when it did work blue sparks could be seen at the bottom and it filled the kitchen with an electric motor smell. Ozone?
Who knows, I'm definitely going to ovoid Hamilton Beach product.
