Best Review on Hamilton Beach HBB908 Commercial Blender
I've had this blender for about three months now. It has mixed everything I put in reliably, including a few smoothies that had "too much" frozen fruit in them.
Advantages for this blender:
1. The lid stays on. Suction cups hold the blender in place. You can, in fact, turn the 908 on and walk away for thirty seconds. When you come back, your drink is blended. Period.
2. Blends smoothly and without hassle. If frozen fruit/ice gets hung up partway down the blender, just let it mix. It will take care of itself.
3. Dark blue color hides drips. Yes, you still clean it. :-) But it doesn't look dirty forever because water splashed on it once.
4. The pitcher is easy to pour cleanly. My old blender made me think I was clumsy because it almost always spilled!
5. Pitcher does not need to be placed precisely on the base, or facing a certain way, to blend.
6. Pitcher is bigger than it appears. This has a 44 oz/1.25 liter capacity.
7. Blender is designed to clean fully with a rinse of the pitcher and lid.
Disadvantages for this blender:
1. Dark blue color will look out of place in most kitchens.
2. Just has High and Low settings, not a lot of "features". Unless you have very specific needs, the extras don't make a better blender. You don't need pulse to crush ice; this crushes ice on High. Nobody can tell if their drink was mixed on "Whip" or "Frappe" or "Cream" - it should just be blended! Timers don't matter when the blender does its job in 30 seconds every time.
TL;DR version: This blender is made to be used in bars, by people who don't care about it. It blends frozen drinks thoroughly, without needing attention, and cleans with a quick rinse. It has managed everything I put in within the 30 seconds claimed. This includes some drinks that would have overwhelmed my old blender.
I got a more expensive blender and ended up taking it back after my sister-in-law told me she had the Hamilton Beach Commercial Bar blender for 14 years and she still loves hers. I bought it, and I am sure I will enjoy this blender for a long time as well!
