Hamilton Beach - Wave Crusher 40-Oz. Blender - Silver

Lovely blender. Works great for crushing ice and making smoothies. That's all I needed it for, and that's all I've used it for so far. I have yet to read the owners manual, but it's supposed to be a 12 speed. Far as I can tell, calling a button two speed by giving it two names, i.e. puree and whip, doesn't change the fact that it spins at the same rpm for both functions. It's six speed, with a pulse button for the slowest speed and one for the fastest speed. Both of which act as off buttons. With that aside, at 700 watts it's a great deal. Great build quality for the price, even though made in China, but what isn't nowadays? Sturdy construction, Glass carafe, snug fitting lid. My wife has a bit of trouble removing the lid as it fits quite tight, but I assume it'll loosen up some as it breaks in. I have no prob with the lid. The blade fitting is easily removable from the bottom to easily clean up sticky jobs. We are both quite happy, and would definitely purchase this again if we needed to replace it. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a nice blender on a budget. Priced right, good quality, easy to use.

This blender fills all of my needs. Powerful, blends well, and I especially like the glass pitcher and pouring spout. It is a tad on the noisy side, but not enough to bother me.

This is a powerful blender that is able to power through any blending need.

This blender has a lot more power than I expected. Drinks are smooth and creamy. Easy to clean too.

I have blended several rather chunky combinations and it has worked great. Easier to clean than I expected too. For the price, Its very powerful and does everything I need a blender for.

It's great and easy to use. Easy to clean. Great for apartment use!

Everything I expected. Works great, really delivers. Very Happy!!

Simple blender, gets the job done...I use it to puree my baby's food and it works well. Pretty good purchase, can't complain.
