Hamilton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function Blender with Glass Jar (58148A)

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

The worst blender ever!!! The blades are so small and short that they can't really cut or chop the fruit or veggies. I am so disappointed at this blender.

Pls don't buy Hamilton brand no service no life.

I used it once and the motor conked off, smoke from the bottom etc.

So many useless info everywhere but no mention of capacity of the jars, so obviously not going to buy it.

I’ve been very happy with the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Wave Action Blender. For the price, it performs better than expected. The 40-oz glass jar feels sturdy and high quality, and it handles smoothies, frozen fruit, and ice fairly well. I mainly use it for smoothies and protein shakes, and everything comes out smooth with minimal chunks. The 12 blending functions are convenient, especially the preset buttons for puree and ice crushing. It’s also easy to clean, which is a big plus. The blender is a bit loud, but that’s expected at this power level. My only minor complaint is that it can struggle slightly with very thick mixtures unless you add enough liquid or stop to stir. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable blender that works great for everyday use and is excellent value for the price.

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 my new blender. It works well, especially for smoothies. It is sturdy and durable. It does not seem to leak at all. For the price, it is a good, strong blender. It is easy to assemble and is easy to wash in the dishwasher.

Muy buena!
