Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 730C Classic DrinkMaster Drink Mixer, Chrome

Customer Review: Not bad, but rather weak
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this blender/mixer a month ago and have used it 15 times. ...Amazon.com and other places frequently have this thing on sale for ..., which is what I paid for it. I like to make milk shakes (BIG milk shakes), but this blender can't handle that too well. The motor is most definitely underpowered.

When I make a milk shake I like to use a lot of ice cream with very very little milk. I like to make a 24oz milk shake, and since the mixing cup can only fit so much and the blender can only handle so much I have to split it up into two(basically make two milk shakes then poor them into one cup). I only use an ounce or two of milk for a 24oz shake and when I start mixing it the motor starts smelling like burning metal. It can't handle the stress. So what you have to do is put the ice cream in the mixing cup first and let it sit out for a few minutes, then add the milk. Making a good milk shake with one of these types of blenders is an art. You have to know how to move the mixing cup while blending(which I have figured out, but am not going to take the time to explain here). With the abuse that I am putting this thing through I don't expect it to last much longer, but I don't think it would last even if I was using equal parts of milk and ice cream. I will update this review when it finally does stop working(if Amazon allows that). Also, this Blender IS NOT FOR CRUSHING ICE!!! The blending head is made of plastic, DO NOT USE IT TO CRUSH ICE!!!

Overall, this machine is OK for someone who likes a weak milk shake or for mixing thin drinks, but you'd be better off buying a nice 400watt blender.

Description of Hamilton Beach 730C Classic DrinkMaster Drink Mixer, Chrome

Hamilton Beach DrinkMaster 730C Stand Mixer 730C 321
Drop a dime into the jukebox, press F2 for Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill," and dreamily drift back to the '50s, when bobbysoxers and guys with ducktails or wearing white bucks (never, ever both) idled away after-school hours at the local drugstore's soda fountain sipping chocolate malts that had been churned to a smooth, frothy consistency by a mixer exactly like this one. Hamilton Beach's drink mixers began appearing at soda fountains in 1911; this 14-1/2-inch-high, 70-watt model, in creamy green, recalls Elvis's first decade. But it's 21st-century, too, blending fruit smoothies and health drinks as well as milk shakes and malted milks. Also use it to mix puddings and beat eggs for omelets. Two speeds offer mixing flexibility, and the tilting head makes it easy to remove the spindle for cleaning. Its professional-style, stainless-steel cup holds 28 ounces and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
