For the money, this blender does a lot. In fact, it almost has too many speeds! But it works as advertised and looks sleek on the counter. A great buy.

Love the way it looks, and love the way it works!!! Did not even bother trying to find room for it in the pantry...it sits out on my counter for all to see!

This was a great acquisition.It's easily run and durable.

Used it for a month now only for smoothies and seems to work well. I had an Oster from Costco that lasted 10 times before falling apart. It does a have a wave action you can see but if you leave the top off at all it will come flying out as well! Like most blenders it is impossible to pour anything out without making a mess. It is thick sturdy glass, not horribly noisy. Powerful, Crushes ice easily as well as veggies and frozen fruit too. Has quite a few speeds but they seem all about the same. there is a hi/lo range and that makes a the only difference. The small rubber feet on bottom stick to the counter and come off the base all the time. So far I am happy with it and price was right.

This is the 6th blender in 2 years. It seems that they all break with the plastic blade at the bottom. This blender all so has a plastic blade but must be made with better plastic(it is tough)it has not broke. Great job, looks wonderful, and does what is needed right away. Way to go Hamilton Beach!

The blender displayed that I thought I was ordering was red(wifes favorite color) what I got was white--that was a total bummer and then some!!
