Overview
Hamilton Beach pairs a high-wattage motor with a large glass jar and a stainless steel blade in this smoothie blender. Electronic controls run pulse, ice crush, puree, clean and an automatic smoothie cycle.
The reason to buy is a glass jar that resists staining and odors with a preset smoothie cycle for easy use. The limit is the glass weight and that dishwasher use is not stated.
Who it's for
Home smoothie makers who want an automatic cycle and a glass jar get a simple set of functions. Anyone who needs a lighter jar for kids or travel should look at plastic.
Pros and cons
- Glass jar, BPA free
- Automatic smoothie cycle
- Ice crush function
- Stainless steel blade
- Glass is heavy
- Cleaning guidance not listed
- Voltage listing looks wrong
Performance notes
The wave action system pulls ingredients down toward the blade so they blend evenly, and the preset cycle changes speed through the run. Ice crushing relies on the pulse of high power, and a glass jar adds mass that helps stability.
