Hamilton Beach 59207 Liquid Blu 5-speed Blender

This is a nice blender it does good work. My kid loves the blue light I think more than the blender itself. LOL

These is a great blender for the price and is pretty modern and stylish too! Great motor, no problems thus far and it's been a few months.

Like the title says, it's that fast! I demoed smoothies a few months ago at a leading store and the frozen fruit just sat on the bottom of the blender. I tried to make the same smoothie at home, and the same results - - - nada, zilch! Then I ordered this amazing blender from Overstock, and it worked so fast, I had to see for myself if the frozen fruit had done anythying, it was all smooth and creamy, that fast, about 3 seconds on high speed. I am so pleased with this, I will give this as house warming gifts and wedding gifts. The ONLY thing I can say on a not so high note is the base of the glass is made of plastic, but good plastic. I hoped for metal. I'lll be the only one using this, so it shouldn't break or crack. Buy it, you won't be dissappointed. Oh, by the way, it's so easy to use, you don't really have to read the instruction book. It has a slick design with a lighted base (blue light) AND it is very easy to dissasemble and clean.

I haven't owned a blender in years...the last one was a hand me down from my dad, an old Oster. I think the Hamilton Beach Blu blender is easy to work, looks modern & really fabulous in my new black applianced (with stainless accents) kitchen. I've used it to make smoothies & crush nuts so far. Worked well at both. The glass is nice & heavy so you don't have to worry about the cannister breaking! You do have to make sure the cannister is seated & screwed properly into the base, otherwise it will leak...but making sure it's seated it pretty obvious/straight forward. I purchased the 2 year warranty, figured for an extra couple of bucks I'd have piece of mind. Even with the warranty the Blu is still competatively priced!! I'm enjoying using my new blender & would recommend it to others.
