Expensive yes, but worth the price
Created: 29/02/08
I finally retired the last blender that I purchased through Hamilton Beach. This last blender still worked but did not crush ice very well and the lid finally cracked.
I purchased this blender for the ice crush feature as well as a few others. At first I opened the box and set up the blender thinking I would be a professional chef right off the bat. I threw in some ice hit some buttons and they stayed chunked. I was disappointed. I then read the instructions of how to effectively crush ice. Tried again (yes men I read the instructions) and was able to make perfect slushies. The largest chunk I found was barely even noticeable. Great for crushing ice.
The other features that make this an excellent buy are push button interface (no longer need to press those square buttons), very durable chamber (I would say the pitcher is about 1/8" thick and washes in the dishwasher easily), plastic top seal (perfectly keeps liquids in the blender and is easy to clean), and the chrome look just goes perfectly with my kitchen attire.
As the title states the price is a bit high for something that just blends food; however, I would defidently recommend making the investment and getting a good blender like this one!

This blender crushes ice very well. That is why I wanted this product. And it was more affordable than some other top of the line blenders. What I do not like about it----it does not pour well with thicker fluids into a glass. And sometimes you have to stir it when the thicker fluids stop stirring.

Best blender ever

I love the speed at which it blends the ice, the whole drink is done in seconds. It blends milkshakes splendidly also. I chose this brand because my sister had one and I liked the way it performed.

The last blender I had like this lasted for 10 years and I wanted to replace the motor as I had the food processor accessory. Performs wonderfully! Unfortunately I didn't get the awesome pink color.
