NO ME ARREPIENTO DE LA COMPRA

I got the blender to make my morning protein shake which is powder, almond milk, and ice cubes. I've also used it a few times to make fruit smoothies with chunks of fruit and it had no issue. I think it's absolutely perfect for what I wanted. I had another well-known brand that started smelling like motor oil and not working well. I then started using my big KitchenAid blender but the problem with that is that when it would start up on any speed it would throw the powder of the shake up into the nooks and crannies of the lid and sides of jar, even when I tried to mix it up before with a whisk. So I was interested in something that had less space for that to happen, but still powerful. This smoothie blender is actually engineered not only to be the right size for smoothies, but it has the same function the previous "well known brand" does - a smoothie button that runs for about 45 seconds and does a great job. ***Also important to note- this blender has a three year warranty which is 2 years longer than all of the other brands I've looked at including the very popular and expensive ones.I can tell you they stand behind their products, because initially the lid I received with the blender had a slight tear at the bottom of the spout part. There was a seam there, and apparently it can separate on the old lid style, which is what I must have received. I reached out to Hamilton Beach and they were great about sending out a new lid at no cost to me. The replacement lid is different, so I'm assuming they updated the style. Like other reviewers have said, the lid I now have is somewhat difficult to get off but what I usually do is place the blender in the sink and then hold it against the sink wall while simultaneously removing the lid. It's a harder plastic than the initial lid I received. I'm guessing they changed the design because of issues with the old style splitting? Anyway, yes the lid is a little hard to get off, but I would rather have a lid that's hard to get off then a lid that falls off when you're pouring out your smoothie :-). Bottom line, this is a great blender that does what it is intended to do, it has a great warranty in the company stands behind their product. I think it's a great value!

I make smoothies several times a week. I was looking for a glass jar, reasonably quiet performance, and efficient smoothie blending. I am satisfied with this blender on all three counts. I use frozen fruit rather than ice in my smoothies. The smoothie setting has a programmed cycle to blending that has worked well for me. It gets the job done in one cycle, unless I make an especially thick or large smoothie, in which case I give it a quick stir and pulse it a few times.
