I’m really happy with this blender! It has a powerful motor, works quickly, and blends everything smoothly. It’s perfect for making smoothies, shakes, and other recipes. The design is nice, it’s easy to use, and cleaning it is simple. It feels like a high-quality product and works great for everyday use. I would definitely recommend it.

I am very happy with my Hamilton Beach Elite Blender. It is powerful, easy to use, and does a great job blending smoothies, shakes, sauces, and other ingredients. The blades are strong and blend everything smoothly without leaving large chunks behind. I also like how easy it is to clean. The jar is a good size for making drinks for the whole family, and the different speed settings make it simple to get the consistency I want. The blender runs efficiently and offers great performance for its price. Overall, the Hamilton Beach Elite Blender is a reliable and affordable kitchen appliance that delivers excellent results. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality blender for everyday use.

I picked this up after being unable to find a blender under $30 in any local stores that had decent reviews (I always check Amazon.com for pricing and reviews before purchasing anything). I had purchased a VERY similar model (same brand, and similar features) on impulse at a local store for right at $30, but decided not to even take it out of the box after reading the reviews on Amazon (my phone was dead when I purchased it, or I would have checked the reviews before pulling the trigger). After a bit of research I came across this unit which was a few dollars less, and is the same brand with almost identical features - so I was surprised that it had so much better reviews, but I figured it was worth the gamble and I needed a new blender for my morning smoothies ASAP (my old one was not working at-all). I never took the other one out of the box, so I can't compare this one to that one - but I can say that I'm very happy with this blender - it works perfectly for what I need it for, and although I have only had it for a few weeks, I haven't had any problems yet and it seems sturdy enough to last for a while. The problem with my last blender was that the gears the connected the motor in the base to the blades in the pitcher were made of rubber or soft plastic, so over the years they eventually got stripped until they were unable to catch each other enough to make the blades spin. During my search, I came across several models that had metal pieces connecting the blades to the motor which seems like it would be ideal. This model uses plastic, however it seems thick and sturdy enough to last a while. The pitcher is also very wide all the way to the bottom. Many blenders have a 'funnel' shaped pitcher that is smaller at the bottom (by the blades), sometimes causing ice or frozen chunks to get caught in the blades which can cause problems with the motor and/or the gears that connect the blades to the motor. Because the bottom of this is so wide, it seems like this happens less frequently because the blades will simply push the frozen chunks aside rather than getting them stuck between the blades and the glass. I rarely used the lid on my old blender, as I don't usually have issues with the ingredients splashing out - however, the lid of this blender has a couple of features that I really like. One is the spout that allows you to more easily pour your smoothies into your cups with less mess/dripping, and the other is a little 'flap' that allows you to easily pour in ingredients while blending without worrying about splashing. I've only had this for a few weeks, but so-far it is working very well and I feel confident that it will hold up for a good while. I definitely recommended this for anyone looking for a sturdy, powerful blender in this price range. I'm only withholding the 5th star because I would really like to see metal pieces connecting the blades to the motor instead of plastic - but hopefully this won't be an issue. BONUS: DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE RECIPE! 1. Optionally put 1/2 or 1 full avocado (removed from the skin and separated from the seed/pit) in the blender (depending on how much you are making and/or how creamy and how much avocado flavor you want. 2. Optionally add a banana to help thicken it up a bit and add some more nutrients 3. Add 2-3 cups (or your desired amount) of any type of fresh or frozen fruit you like. I especially like peaches, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, and cherries. 4. Optionally add a scoop of protein powder to add some more nutrients. I use vanilla flavored powder to add a bit of flavor as well. You can also add powdered vitamins such as Airborne, vitamin C, or fiber. 5. Mix in about a cup or so (depending on how thick you want your smoothie) of juice. I personally prefer fresh squeezed orange or apple juice, but use whatever you like or have available. 6. Optionally add a half cup or so of GoodBelly, or any other type of probiotic or nutrient rich juice. You can also use wheat grass, or something similar to get some extra nutrients. 7. Optionally add a half cup or so of kefir or a few spoonfuls of yogurt. I prefer either vanilla or berry flavored kefir which adds some probiotics to your drink, and a bit of sweetness and flavor. Obviously you can leave this out if you prefer a dairy-free smoothie. 8 Start blending the ingredients on low, then turn it up to medium once the big chunks start to break down. 9. Optionally add a couple tablespoons of agave nectar, or honey as a natural sweetener. You shouldn't need much, especially if you used sweet juice or flavored yogurt. I prefer raw light agave nectar, and just a couple of squirts is enough. 10. Optionally, add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract, or other natural oil or extract for additional nutrients. 11. Blend on medium until it begins to 'fold' (you should basically have a smoothie funnel/tornado) - if this doesn't happen within a minute or so, it may be too thick and you may need to add some more juice (or use a thicker straw). Then you are ready to drink. Taste a bit with a spoon or straw first, and add more ingredients as desired to get the perfect texture and taste before pouring. 12. Rinse the pitcher and lid with hot water right away to ensure you have a clean blender to use the next morning. This may seem like a lot of steps, but once you do it a few times it takes less than 5 minutes to have a healthy and delicious breakfast that you can drink on your way to work. I always make enough to share with my kids, so I know everyone gets a nice dose of fruit, protein and vitamins each morning. Give it a try, and you will probably be hooked! Enjoy...

I’ve been using this blender every day for my protein powder, and it has been working really well for my routine. It blends smoothly and quickly, leaving no lumps, which makes my shakes easy and enjoyable to drink. It’s very convenient for daily use, especially when I’m in a hurry. Cleaning it is also simple, which saves me a lot of time. Overall, this blender has become an essential part of my everyday fitness routine. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable blender for protein shakes or quick drinks.

I am quite content with this blender. My previous one was much more powerful, but it became incredibly loud over time. I'm glad to say this one is much quieter, and my family is incredibly relieved. The blending capability is decent. While not as powerful as I'd hoped, you can easily remedy this by running it a bit longer. For only $40, it is a great value. It is also durable, uncomplicated, and very easy to take apart for cleaning. Lastly, many reviews complained about the lid being difficult to remove. I easily avoid this by simply resting the lid on top instead of locking it down completely*. I can fill it up to two inches from the top this way, and nothing spills**. *Make sure you hold the cover down while it's running. **Make sure that the pour spout lid is closed.

This is the best blender I have ever had. It was a total surprise that it is so good and so reasonably priced. I used to have a Vitamix that cost almost $300 and I like this Hamilton Beach blender much better. One caveat is that it is does not have a gigantic container/blender bowl. However, it is quite sufficient in size for two people. It is really well made, well engineered, and super easy to clean. Also the blender bowl is glass, which is very important if you care at all about avoiding microplastics in your food.

Great for Avoiding Plastic… But Be Prepared to Wrestle the Lid I specifically sought out the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Wave Action Blender because of the glass jar instead of plastic. We make protein smoothies daily, and I’m trying to avoid as many microplastics and unnecessary chemicals in our food as possible. I’ve also owned some of the higher-end blenders that cost several hundred dollars each. Performance-wise, this one is definitely not on that level. But those expensive blenders are also plastic, and if you decide to switch from plastic to glass like I did, just be prepared for some compromises in blending performance. Overall, for the price, I actually ended up buying multiple units so I’d have backup glass jars for both the house and our motorhome. Pros: • It’s GLASS. That alone narrowed my options considerably. • The blades can be disassembled from the jar for a much better clean. • Dishwasher safe parts are a huge plus in daily life. • It generally does a decent job on smoothies and ice. • Replacement/extra jars are affordable enough that I stocked up. Cons: • The “patented drip-free pour spout” is… optimistic marketing. It absolutely drips, and ours also leaks from under the lid while pouring. • The lid is ridiculously difficult to remove. I’m not exaggerating when I say it feels like you might injure yourself, drop the jar, or launch the lid across the kitchen once it finally gives way. • Pouring without the lid attached creates a massive mess because of the jar design. • It usually handles ice fine, but tougher fibrous ingredients like fresh ginger root should definitely be pre-chopped unless you enjoy discovering ginger “hairballs” wrapped around the blades later. 😅 • One of the jars/bottom assemblies from my original order never fit correctly and constantly leaked. That said, despite the annoyances, I keep using it because finding an affordable blender with a true glass jar is getting harder and harder these days. I personally rely heavily on reviews and try to include the details I’d want to know before purchasing. Hopefully sharing my experience helps someone choose the right item the first time 😊

Very good product! The size was perfect and it functions very well. It is also very durable and easy to wash. We have not had any issues at all washing it through the dishwasher. Easy to assemble and take apart for cleaning. Easy to move around the kitchen when needing extra counter space. The only thing I wasn't a fan of is it is a lot louder than I would have wanted it to be. So if your kid likes to get up at 5:30am to make milkshakes like my kid does be prepared to wake up early!😂

The product reached totally damaged as in broken in pieces. Have returned the same and asked for a refund.

Very good price. Works great and solid with its glass jar. Love the colour too!

I've used this blender more or less on a daily basis with frozen fruits and vegetables for about two months. I knew that I would be getting a lot of use out of it, and have had experience with both low end blenders (always disappointing) and high end blenders (from working at a smoothie making business), and was a little bit hesitant to purchase one at this price point, rather than investing in a higher end, more powerful one. However, I was happily surprised by both the quality and easy of use of this blender. It has a very solid glass jar (I've had bad experiences with cracks in the jars of cheaper plastic blenders). It also comes apart for easy cleaning and can go in the dishwasher. It's so easy to clean and used so frequently in my household that I rarely need to put it in the dishwasher unless I'm in a rush. The motor may not be as powerful as some more high end blenders, but as long as you make sure to start with a liquid base, it has no trouble blending frozen foods. The only caveat that I have is that, about a month into use, my unit started leaking. At first, I thought it was because I was putting it back together incorrectly, but then I noticed a small crack in the plastic/rubber ring in the cutter assembly. After wondering how difficult it would be to get the part replaced, I continued using it for a few weeks, but finally made the call to the Hamilton Beach office in Canada today. The real reason that I had to post this review was the pleasant and quick service that I got while making that call. All I had to do was give them the product model/series and describe the part that was affected. There was no fuss about proof or purchase or anything else. The new part is free because of the 3 year warranty and they charged me $5 for shipping (which I knew I would be paying anyway because of the clear warranty policy). It should arrive within 7-10 days. When you purchase a product that is not so high end, you sometimes worry about the service that you'll receive if any problems come up. I will not hesitate to purchase similar products from Hamilton Beach in the future if they have such an easy to access warranty service.

Este producto lo compre para casa pero no es muy funcional, ya que esta diseñado para hacer FRAPES o ese tipo de alimentos, si lo que buscas es para hogar y comida, no te va a servir mucho, porque NO muele muy bien para salsas, o pures, en fin comida del hogar. si lo que quieres son FRAPPES entones es la ideal, funciona muy bien, el producto si lo dice su descripcion que esta hecho para ese tipo de productos.

I love this blender, so easy to use. I had a smaller blender but found it was difficult to use with my arthritic fingers. You needed to push down on the container and it had to be in the perfect position for it to work, very cumbersome. This one you only have to push a button.
