if you didn’t mind half-mixed powder, a strong odor of burning plastic every time you use it and frozen

Update hamilton beach is giving me a hard time returning it.

I gave three tries and it leaked every single time I used it, regardless if I were making fruit smoothie or protein shakes

It has already quit working use it one time you can hear the motor running thats it

I’ve used this blender three times and it BROKE

It has a hard time blending the frozen fruit

This blender has a really hard time blending anything with ice

you welcomed the challenge the first time you guffawed at those higher priced machines designed to lay waste anything less than a 9 on the Mohs scale

I rinse it in the sink and put in the dish washer and it's like new every time

My daughter is the one who cooks and she's thanked me a million times for purchasing this blender cos it blends so well and is so easy to clean

I've used it a total of 6 times so far and it only worked great 1 out of the 6 (blended liquids), it worked just ok 1 other time (made a smoothie with fruit and ice) and it sucked all 4 other times (smoothie, herbs and seasoning blend, pureed pumpkin, can't remember)

It also has a hard time with ice and frozen fruits/veggies

I noticed the motor starting to have a hard time about 4 months

and I only used it 4 times and each time had the issue

Especially this time around we have been VERY gentle with it, knowing of the previous issue (lasted about a year this time vs. 3-4 moths the first time arounf)

but it takes very little time to blend ingredients and shouldn't bother the neighbors.

First time I used it, the blade broke off from the bottom of the blender, spilling my protein shake everywhere

It has a hard time blending frozen fruit, which is annoying since that’s what I bought it for

It came at the right time

I also had a hard time getting pieces of food that became constantly caught in the crack surrounding the blade section

This time the whole bottom started smelling like burnt rubber and smoking!!!

The blender had a hard time even chopping small chunks of ice.

I have to take the pitcher off the base several times, shake it, and put it back several times before my smoothie is drinkable

The blending power could be a little better for some things, as sometimes solid chunks have a hard time getting sucked into the blades, but a little shake usually works that out.

It lack any power and smelled like it was overheating the first time I used it

I attached a picture where you can see the “blended oats”.I know whoever is considering this blender is looking for a cheaper alternative to the expensive ones, but don’t waste your time or money

You can smell the rubber burning and the inside of the machine every time you use it

n’t be too bad and longevity will hopefully compensate

I was so angry and disgusted with this item which bearing in mind was a replacement which had the same problem as a previous one I

must go to an e-waste dump.
