Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 54244 WavePower Plus 14-Speed Blender, WhiteCustomer Review: Powerful Product Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little hesitant about buying another Hamilton Beach blender after having two previous blenders of this particular brand and being less than thrilled to say the least. This blender is not as attractive as some of the other blenders I've had, it's very plain looking (no fancy chrome finish or design). But DON'T judge a book by it's cover!
I've had the blender for about a week and so far, so good! This blender is quite powerful. The other day I filled it with 8 ice cubes and huge chunks of frozen mango to make a shake. This was a test for my new blender because none of the others would've been able to handle all of the ice and mango chunks and I would have killed the motor. Surprisingly, there were absolutely no chunks and everything was perfectly blended within 10-15 seconds on the high, frozen drink setting. Other blenders I've had left my drinks with huge chunks of ice and took forever to blend, leaving my frozen beverages watery.
The new "wave action" design promises that you will not need to mix the drink with a spoon because the blades will draw all ingrindients to the bottom of the container and back up again in a circular motion. However, with my frozen drinks I still found the need to give them a stir but not anywhere near as much as I had to with my old blenders.
I love the fact that the blender is glass (as plastic can develop a strange smell and easily stain) and it can be put in the dishwasher. I even put the blades in the dishwasher though the directions said not to and have not had a problem. The glass container is also much bigger than any of the other blenders I've had which is also a huge plus.
With other blenders, I did not notice any real difference between the power settings. But with the Power Plus Blender, there is a noticable difference in the speed and power of the different settings.
Great blender, very powerful, and certainly worth the price. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because there are still some times when I have to give my drinks a quick stir despite the product's "wave action" design.
