Hamilton Beach 54618 Red 4-Speed 500 W Smoothie Blender

So, while some of the more expensive models can act as food processors, the Hamilton Beach can’t really compete on that level. Hamilton Beach Blenders are affordable entry-level blending machines that come with unbeatable 3-year warranty coverage. The hamilton blender, in particular, features a 700-watt motor capable of crushing ice.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s lacking, though. With its durable, Ice Sabre stainless steel blades, powerful 650 Watt peak-power motor, ten speeds, and pulse blending action, it’s fully equipped to prepare a variety of great-tasting beverages. No matter what your plans – throwing a party, going to work, running to the gym – there is a Hamilton Beach® Smoothie Blender made just for you.

Get blenders with BPA-free parts and dishwasher safe parts. Ordinary blenders spin contents around the walls of the jar, which can leave whole pieces of fruit and ice untouched by the blades. The Wave Action System has a unique container and blade system which is designed to continually force the mixture down into the blades for perfectly smooth results every time. Try a single-serve smoothie blender that comes with a travel lid – mix a delicious fruit smoothie and take it with you. Try one of our unique Wave Station® Express blenders for smoothies.

And if you plan to start a small catering company or other enterprise, consider the more commercial-capable and extremely powerful Blendtec or Vitamix. No, it didn’t outperform any blenders per se, but it did perform on par with the $200 Cuisinart, and given the value of the Hamilton Beach, I consider that a huge success. I would definitely recommend this $40 blender over the $200 Cuisinart if you’re looking for the most basic of blendering. That includes pureeing soups, making batter, whipped cream, smoothies, and so on. These simple and relatively basic recipes with “softer” ingredients will do just fine.

Both the KitchenAid and Breville blenders won this test by a long shot. The KitchenAid and the Breville actually turned the block into larger, more edible shredded-cheese-esque pieces. True to form, the three most powerful models all did incredibly well, producing perfect almond flour and hamilton beach blender smooth almond butter in under 10 minutes. The Hamilton Beach made great almond flour with no fuss, while the Cuisinart was unable to produce anything but the chunkiest flour with large bits of almonds still intact. So in this case, the Hamilton Beach actually outperformed a $200 model.

The Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender delivers all the delicious-tasting flavors of restaurant smoothies and frozen drinks at a fraction of the price. Smoothies, Shakes and Frozen DrinksBlend your favorite fruits, juice and yogurt together for a delicious smoothie, or cool off on a hot day with your favorite frozen drink. This blender was made to give you the flexibility to mix your favorite ingredients into a delicious drink.

On my frozen fruit smoothies I was surprised at how effective the Hamilton Beach blender was at completely pureeing even the chilliest chunks of fruit. While the blend time was definitely longer when using frozen fruit, it was extremely effective. If you plan to use a blender more often and expect to blend some more “challenging” things, consider either the Breville or the KitchenAid. Both cost $200 and both did very well on most tests. But, if you use your blender all the time, prepare food for a lot of people, or simply want a top-of-the-line machine, consider the Ninja. It has a lot of features and it’s huge, so you better want it to be a fixture on your counter because that thing is hard to budge.
