Read First Before Buy Hamilton Beach Crusher Multi Function Blender
This thing tears through ANYTHING in just seconds. Cold food is luke warm in a minute, then steaming hot in 5. It could probably be used as a mulcher, and if it cost less i would try it. This thing roars. The 2+ hp motor is ridiculously strong. It has a 7 year warranty included, comes with several cookbooks full of recipes (one of them is a whole binder full) and an instructional dvd presented by Iron Chef Michael Symon in which he takes you through several recipes and tells you many features and instructions on care. This thing takes about 30 seconds to clean, by the way. Just fill it with hot water and a drop of dish soap, then turn it on for 30 seconds. Rinse, and you're done.
Key Features:
-2+ Horsepower motor, moving the blades at 240mph.
-Blades move so fast they actually cook the food if it is left running from the friction created by the blades.
-Easy to clean. Takes about 30 seconds.
-Beautiful yet powerful-looking design. This blender is a sexy beast.
-Venting lid allows for pressure release without spraying your food everywhere.
-Has 10 variable speed settings, then a high setting (which is why I say it goes to 11, although the power increase is significant enough between 10 and high that i would say it more accurately goes to 15). This thing is NOT a toy (but its lots of fun to play with).
-7 year manufacturer warranty
-Automatic shut-down in case of overheating. I have run it for 15 minutes on high, and it did not shut down, so this thing is capable of some serious punishment without wussing out, but it is nice to know that the feature is there.
-Cooks foods while retaining the nutritional value.
I am probably forgetting SO MUCH, but thats all that comes to mind at the moment. If you can come up with the cash, get this blender. worth every penny and more. It will become your favorite tool.
This blender is powerful and does what it promises. It blends everything, smoothies turn out beautifully. Overall awesome blender at an excellent price. You have to buy this!
BalasHapusThe lady that I purchased the blender for said she absolutely loves it! It looks great in her black and stainless steel kitchen.
BalasHapusSo far I've made frozen white russians, milk shakes, frappacinos, lasagna sauce and mole sauce. This blender performs GREAT with everything. Chops ice, blends, purees, I really don't know what else anyone wants from a blender. It is not loud, my old blender was at least three times louder. It has plenty of power. It is a beautiful appliance to the eye as well. The only thing I had trouble with was the lid. I had a problem taking the lid off the first few times I used it, but it loosened up slightly with use and is now easier to take off. I guess it's a good thing to have a snug fitting lid on a blender anyway. Yeah, I think this blender is well worth the $30 I paid.
BalasHapusFor the price its everything I expected and more. Well built and easy to use.Great for making breakfast smoothies. Not very noisy.
BalasHapusI am Very Happy that I bought this Blender. It's got some Power!!! And it works great. I don't know what the Vitamix or the other very strong ones would compare to this, but this one is just fine and works great for my smoothies and I made some Raw carrot cake cupcakes and had to mix up walnuts and in another time had to mix up some cashews and it worked great. Love this blender!

BalasHapusThis blender quickly turns a container full of greens (kale, chard, watercress), ice, and fruit into a smooth drink, and it's a fraction of the cost of the blenders that are usually recommended for green smoothies. It also does a great job making nut milks and cashew cream.
BalasHapusPerfect for my morning smoothies, blending two frozen bananas well. A few times I had to move the ingredients around with a spoon, but I think that was impatience on my part. The spout on the lid is great.
BalasHapusI was looking for a good/cheap blender for smoothie making. My last one could barely handle frozen fruit without having a heart attack. This this is great, and super efficient! Love it.
