Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach WaveStation 50754H 10 Speed 700-Watt Dispensing Stand Blender
Customer Review: Poor Quality and Design, Ok Performance
Summary: 2 Stars
I work out three to five times a week, and I like to make thick protein smoothies with lots of frozen fruit after each workout. To that end, I have owned this blender for about a year, but almost as soon as I brought it home, I wanted something better.
This is a really poorly designed product. The carafe is two made of two pieces, an outer and an inner shell, and assembled such that there seems to be no way to avoid getting food between the two shells, requiring disassembly to clean. I pulled off the outer shell and threw it away. The pour spout seems like a neat idea, but it quickly turns out to be completely pointless (it's easier and faster to just pour from the top like a normal blender) and difficult to clean. You can remove it and replace it with a cap, but that still leaves an extra hole at the bottom of the carafe which traps food and requires extra attention when cleaning. The plastic in the carafe is really poor quality and started cracking after a few months, started leaking slightly about three months ago, and became completely unusable last week.
I gave this two stars instead of one because it actually did do a pretty good job of blending while it lasted. The motor seemed powerful enough and only hung up every now and then. The smoothies were consistently smooth, and I can't ever remember getting any chunks, something Jamba Juice can't even claim. The motor is extremely loud however, louder than even 2+ hp commercial blenders, and it's particularly loud now that it appears to be dying. Even if the carafe hadn't failed, I wouldn't give this blender another month to live. Also, the motor seems to spew a mysterious green gunk into the housing, I'm not sure where it comes from, and I'm pretty fastidious about cleaning the thing.
All in all, this might be a decent blender if you only use it a handful of times a year. Regular smoothie drinkers should pass.
