Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Blender For Smoothies With 40 Oz Glass Jar and 14 Functions, Ice Sabre Blades & 700 Watts for Consistently Smooth Results, Black + Stainless Steel (54221)

I love my blender. I use it for smoothies, for shakes, malts, to make homemade salsa, etc. It's not too heavy or too big. I have arthritis & I haven't really struggled with it unless I did way too much that day. It is beautiful, has several speeds & settings, there is a pour lid for a safety feature, & worth the cost. Extremely durable & not very loud depending on which speed & setting you use.

I use this thing DAILY to make smoothies. It literally crushes ice like it's NOTHING. It's so strong. The blades aren't "sharp" - you can actually stick your hand in there while cleaning it, and feel that they're not like a knife. And that's fine because they don't need to be! They make perfect smoothies despite not being sharp.Someone on here said that you can't tell the difference between settings 1 vs 2 vs 3 etc vs 4 vs 5 vs 6 - you definitely can. It's subtle but it's there.There are five super minor gripes I have with it that I wish I knew before I got it, BUT honestly I love it so much I

After reading some of the reviews here, I figured this was the best blender without making a significant investment--and it turned out pretty true. While not an absolutely incredible blender, it gets the job done and at the right price. After owning and using it regularly for about a month now, I feel familiar enough with it to give it a review.The jar is glass, and seems sturdy--the blade assembly at the bottom comes apart for easy cleaning. The 'wave' refers to indentations in the glass on each side so the shape is less like a cylinder, making ingredients mix together a little better--and it

This works great and easy to clean. Great quality blender pitcher and it's easy to use, the spout is a nice extra.

I recently decided to try a vegetarian diet so it was a given I would need a blender to mix up some protein based drinks. I am not sure I will be staying a vegetarian so I did not want to spend $50 or more for a blender since I never needed one before now. Seems like the big factor is whether or not a blender can chop ice. Well this is not a factor for me since I have issues with brain freeze when just taking even a small sip of any slushy type drinks. That made it easier in my mind to go with a less expensive model. Based on the power it seems to have, I suspect it would chop ice just fine, b

This blender taught me rage. I didn't know I could hate an inanimate object with so much passion before I started using this blender. I used to think that kind of hate was reserved for Nazis and University of Florida fans only, but no, I now can say I truly know myself better due to the experiences I've had with this blender.Let's start with the blending option. I think if you wanted to mix food dye in with some water you might be able to after 20 or 30 minutes of blending, but ice? Ha! Smoothies? Think again sucker! Whipped cream? More like stirred froth. See, when the masochistic designers u

Now this is the blender to get! The container is made of glass so you don’t have to worry about Nanoplastics. It is easy to clean, easy to disassemble an assemble, and you can add ingredients at the top without chance of anything coming out while it’s running. It’s not super loud so you can actually talk on the phone while you’re using it. The different speed settings are perfect.

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 m
