Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender For Smoothies With Wave Action System | 40 oz. Glass Jar | 12 Functions Including Puree, Crush Ice | 700 Watts | Black | 58148AG

I am very happy with my Hamilton Beach Elite Blender. It is powerful, easy to use, and does a great job blending smoothies, shakes, sauces, and other ingredients. The blades are strong and blend everything smoothly without leaving large chunks behind. I also like how easy it is to clean. The jar is a good size for making drinks for the whole family, and the different speed settings make it simple to get the consistency I want. The blender runs efficiently and offers great performance for its price. Overall, the Hamilton Beach Elite Blender is a reliable and affordable kitchen appliance that delivers excellent results. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality blender for everyday use.

I really love this blender. It’s easy to use, has a nice design, and works great for making smoothies, juices, and other drinks. The blades do an excellent job, and everything blends smoothly. It’s also convenient and easy to clean. I’m very happy with this purchase and definitely recommend it!

This blender has been very nice. I bought it because it fits small mouthed mason jars and I would never want to go back to a blender that doesn't. However, you do have to add a lot of liquid to the mix or it won't blend. After 3 years of steady use, the gasket on the blade cracked, but I was able to buy another blade and gasket for $11. It's not the most powerful blender in the world, but it's cheap, effective, and the fact that it fits mason jars is just wonderful.

I use this blender to make protein shakes and works great. it also has other setting for different functions. it is well made and the jar is a solid glass. The cover comes off easily without rubbing oil as suggested. it was a great buy.

I am quite content with this blender. My previous one was much more powerful, but it became incredibly loud over time. I'm glad to say this one is much quieter, and my family is incredibly relieved. The blending capability is decent. While not as powerful as I'd hoped, you can easily remedy this by running it a bit longer. For only $40, it is a great value. It is also durable, uncomplicated, and very easy to take apart for cleaning. Lastly, many reviews complained about the lid being difficult to remove. I easily avoid this by simply resting the lid on top instead of locking it down completely*. I can fill it up to two inches from the top this way, and nothing spills**. *Make sure you hold the cover down while it's running. **Make sure that the pour spout lid is closed.

The Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender is a great addition to the kitchen for making smoothies, shakes, sauces, and other blended recipes. The 700-watt motor provides plenty of power for everyday blending, and the 12 different functions make it easy to choose the setting that works best for what you're preparing. The Wave Action system is one of my favorite features because it helps pull ingredients down toward the blades instead of leaving everything sitting at the top of the jar. This is especially helpful when making smoothies, where you want the ingredients blended evenly. The 40 oz glass jar is another nice feature. The glass feels sturdy and doesn't hold onto food odors as easily as some plastic containers can. The size is also convenient for making enough of a drink or recipe for more than one person. The blender can also crush ice, which is useful for smoothies and frozen drinks. The different settings give you more control over the consistency of your recipes, whether you want something smooth and creamy or need to process ingredients more thoroughly. The black design looks simple and modern, so it fits nicely with different kitchen styles. The controls are straightforward, making the blender easy to use without having to spend a lot of time figuring out complicated settings. Overall, the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender is a versatile and practical kitchen appliance. The 700-watt motor, Wave Action system, glass jar, ice-crushing capability, and 12 functions make it a useful choice for smoothies, frozen drinks, sauces, and everyday blending.

Great for Avoiding Plastic… But Be Prepared to Wrestle the Lid I specifically sought out the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Wave Action Blender because of the glass jar instead of plastic. We make protein smoothies daily, and I’m trying to avoid as many microplastics and unnecessary chemicals in our food as possible. I’ve also owned some of the higher-end blenders that cost several hundred dollars each. Performance-wise, this one is definitely not on that level. But those expensive blenders are also plastic, and if you decide to switch from plastic to glass like I did, just be prepared for some compromises in blending performance. Overall, for the price, I actually ended up buying multiple units so I’d have backup glass jars for both the house and our motorhome. Pros: • It’s GLASS. That alone narrowed my options considerably. • The blades can be disassembled from the jar for a much better clean. • Dishwasher safe parts are a huge plus in daily life. • It generally does a decent job on smoothies and ice. • Replacement/extra jars are affordable enough that I stocked up. Cons: • The “patented drip-free pour spout” is… optimistic marketing. It absolutely drips, and ours also leaks from under the lid while pouring. • The lid is ridiculously difficult to remove. I’m not exaggerating when I say it feels like you might injure yourself, drop the jar, or launch the lid across the kitchen once it finally gives way. • Pouring without the lid attached creates a massive mess because of the jar design. • It usually handles ice fine, but tougher fibrous ingredients like fresh ginger root should definitely be pre-chopped unless you enjoy discovering ginger “hairballs” wrapped around the blades later. 😅 • One of the jars/bottom assemblies from my original order never fit correctly and constantly leaked. That said, despite the annoyances, I keep using it because finding an affordable blender with a true glass jar is getting harder and harder these days. I personally rely heavily on reviews and try to include the details I’d want to know before purchasing. Hopefully sharing my experience helps someone choose the right item the first time 😊

Love the glass, it works as well as I would expect a blender of this cost to work. It is big enough to do smoothies for 1 adult and 2 kids, or two cans of beans for a hummus type dip (three was too much, it wouldn’t circulate). It only has two speed settings, two buttons press and stay, two you pulse, but they are the same low and high pulse and low and high hold. I could see how it could overheat if you let it run for too long. Just help your blender out with a little liquid and don’t let it run forever and it will be fine. I imagine this will last us a long time as it is durable with the glass. Not at all a portable item, but I do move it to a shelf when not in use to save counter space. Would buy again!

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

Very good price. Works great and solid with its glass jar. Love the colour too!

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 this blender, so easy to use. I had a smaller blender but found it was difficult to use with my arthritic fingers. You needed to push down on the container and it had to be in the perfect position for it to work, very cumbersome. This one you only have to push a button.
