 Excellent Blender reasonably priced April 24, 2008
HEA (New York, NY)
I agree with J Stone's review below. This blender has a blade-and-jar design (called wave action) that sucks the ingredients in for incredibly thorough blending, resulting in smooth, uniform consistency. It has a powerful (700-watt peak) motor that, combined with the wave action, yields excellent results. The motor carries a 3-year warranty. I use it for ice shakes and it crushes ice easily with no lumps left whatsoever. Its 48-oz glass jar secures easily on its sturdy base and is dishwasher friendly. Easy to clean and with no parts to assemble, this is my best blender to date.

crushes ice beautifully--creates smooth creamy creations with almost anything. only downside--flat bottom makes it hard to catch everything (ex: chocolate chips stay in chunks at the bottom.)
Would buy again June 18, 2007

I'm planning to order a second one. We've had ours about 4 months, and we use it about 4 times a day, so having a second one would help a bit with washing the glass container. We love that it's glass.
The only minor problem that we had the first few days was learning to screw the container into the blade-holding bottom part. You have to get it screwed on level to seat it properly, or it can leak a bit when you tip it. Not a big deal, though, and we haven't had any problem since the second day or so, when we learned how to take the extra few seconds to prevent the problem.
It's a solid product.

I was a little hesitant about buying another Hamilton Beach blender after having two previous blenders of this particular brand and being less than thrilled to say the least. This blender is not as attractive as some of the other blenders I've had, it's very plain looking (no fancy chrome finish or design). But DON'T judge a book by it's cover!
I've had the blender for about a week and so far, so good! This blender is quite powerful. The other day I filled it with 8 ice cubes and huge chunks of frozen mango to make a shake. This was a test for my new blender because none of the others would've been able to handle all of the ice and mango chunks and I would have killed the motor. Surprisingly, there were absolutely no chunks and everything was perfectly blended within 10-15 seconds on the high, frozen drink setting. Other blenders I've had left my drinks with huge chunks of ice and took forever to blend, leaving my frozen beverages watery.
The new "wave action" design promises that you will not need to mix the drink with a spoon because the blades will draw all ingrindients to the bottom of the container and back up again in a circular motion. However, with my frozen drinks I still found the need to give them a stir but not anywhere near as much as I had to with my old blenders.
I love the fact that the blender is glass (as plastic can develop a strange smell and easily stain) and it can be put in the dishwasher. I even put the blades in the dishwasher though the directions said not to and have not had a problem. The glass container is also much bigger than any of the other blenders I've had which is also a huge plus.
With other blenders, I did not notice any real difference between the power settings. But with the Power Plus Blender, there is a noticable difference in the speed and power of the different settings.
Great blender, very powerful, and certainly worth the price. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because there are still some times when I have to give my drinks a quick stir despite the product's "wave action" design.
