Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Blender, 40 Oz, 14 Functions

Der Hamilton macht einen guten Eindruck.
Leider konnte ich ihn bisher nicht benutzen, da ich erst mal einen Adapter für den Stecker (US auf EU) bestellen durfte.

I kind of figured at the price point ($50) there is a good chance this thing would not be very good at smoothies or bowls, and I was correct. It says it has ice crushing power, I disagree, It struggled to blend ice and frozen fruit (Bananas, strawberries, and blueberries) By the time I got the consistency, it was basically thawed and liquid. It works great for non-frozen vegetables and making sauces. Cleaning is as simple as filling with water and adding dish soap and running on the clean setting. however, there is a lot of gunk that stays below the blades on the grommet. Not a very good design with the cleaning function. you need to take this thing apart to thoroughly clean it after each use or it will get funky down there. For $50 dollars a good blender for those occasional uses. If you blend a lot or want to make smoothies, I would look elsewhere. The only plus is that it has a glass bowl. My Ninja had a plastic that eventually cracked and leaked after about 7 years of occasional use. So I was specifically looking for glass.

I’ve had this blender for a few months & use it nearly every day for smoothies. It’s powerful, crushing frozen fruit & ice cubes with absolutely zero issues. The lid fits very securely & the pouring spout is a nice touch. It fits easily in my fridge if I have anything leftover & cleanup is quick & easy. I also like that’s it’s not obnoxiously loud. I’m very happy with my purchase!

So far: I’ve had this for less than a week and have figured out all the quirks others have mentioned that brought their star score down. The lid: people say the lid doesn’t stay on – watch the videos. Of course the lid won’t stay down if you don’t secure it! I find it trickier to get off. You have to push down firmly and it doesn’t go anywhere. The loose black tap on the lid: While it doesn’t “click” into place, it does stay closed. This is where you add extra ingredients as you blend, not the clear pour spout. Grinding the ice: the first couple of times I used this to make frappuccinos, the mixture/ice seemed to get stuck and I add to take the lid off and adjust it. I started to get sad about this investment. Today, I add 5-6 ice cubes at time and blended until I felt they were well chopped and I had no problem with ice getting stuck. THIS is what that black flap is for! Now that I’ve worked all that out, I look forward to using this blender for many more things. I have not cleaned the parts in the dishwasher as I use it every day so I clean it every day. I can’t say I would trust a dishwasher with ANY blender parts, but I am happy to say it is easy to take apart and clean by hand. I love the power cord cubby. It’s not retractable, but goes in and out easily enough. I love that the main part is glass. This was one of the biggest selling points for me. Lastly, some have complained about it being loud. It’s a blender. It’s going to be loud. Overall, I highly recommend!

Amazing wave crusher, from each and every angle it is a great machine, enjoying the smoothies milkshake etc

I brought this few days ago ,second HB blender I tested ,glass jar make it better for lemon and vinegar,I use second button from left make a mixed fruit milk shake,works wonderful,can be use for mix pancake batter,Be sure put the WET INGREDIENTS in first,I ruined a motor base once ,put in the flour and dry ingredients a little at a time.It would be wonderful to have a older type cap,this type does not seem durable like the way used to make,ideal for home cooks or gifts.
