abunda_amazon_reviews Every morning, I put greek yogurt, a cup of frozen berries, half a frozen banana, a cup of frozen kale, a spoon of chia seeds, couple spoons of ground flaxseed, a handful of raw almonds, and a couple cups of almond milk in my blender. It doesn't even stutter - just chops it all up into a smoothie I can drink through a straw. Has never given me any trouble or failed to blend perfectly smoothly. Love this thing... especially for the price. Edited to add: I've seen a lot of people complaining that it doesn't blend all the ingredients, gets stuck, requires stirring, etc. I've found that when this happens to me, it's usually because I didn't add enough liquid to compensate for the solid ingredients. I just pop the top and pour in a little more - water, milk, whatever - and it solves the problem right away. This isn't the blender's fault; it's operator error.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Smoothie master;;Tobrid;;;This blender was purchased to replace a Cuisinart that I bought at Costco that had all the bells and whistles and cost more than double. When it broke down after a few years worth of work (and that was my second), I decided that I would just get a good blender with nothing fancy. I got this and I love it. I use it to make pudding, puree split pea soup, and some drinks and it's really a good blender. It surprised me how much better it does the job than my Cuisinart! I love the pouring spout on top as sometimes it was messy pouring from the corner of my old one. I've owned this for a while now. I don't like reviews from folks that do it right out of the box. I like to use the product for a while to test it out. This one definitely passed.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great Blender;;SBKaren;;;This is the second time we have bought the blender. We thought the first one was a fluke. I did research and the description states that it crushes ice and frozen fruit. It does crush ice and frozen fruit. However, after about a month the motor burned out. We tried a second as the manufacturer said that was a malfunctioning blender and the same thing happened. No amount of extra liquid helps. It doesn’t even crush it well. Unless, if you count it leaving big chunks of uneven pieces. If you’re really looking for something where you need frozen fruit or ice crushed I would spend the extra money to get something that actually works. I will be speaking to the manufacturer on this one as well because it is doing the same thing as the last. I would not mind at all if they did not say it was specifically for crushing ice and fruit etc. ( in the description of the item ) So beware, I would hate for you to have to go through what I have went through with burning out motors after just a few uses.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Doesn’t crush ice or frozen fruit!;;Jamie;;;I have only owned 4 Hamilton Beach Blenders in 25 years. The last HB Blender, a housewarming gift lasted four months. This one I purchased last June but used less than half a dozen times. It has been a disappointment for all my smoothies, and I do not dare use it for any other processing. The part labeled collar is open and performs as a trap for food particles to lodge at the bottom of the glass jar below the cutting blades. Nut, Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds, and Ice are trapped never participating in the remaining blending process. After cleaning, those particles are usually still trapped until they are sorted and individually picked out. I do not recommend.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Nut, Fruits, Seeds, and particles of Ice are trapped below the Blades and never participate in the Blending process.;;Ms. Nadia;;;The collar of this blender (the piece that holds the blade and screws the pitcher to the base) broke within two months. I probably used the blender 10 times. I called the customer service department which took a while to get a hold of, and they were not very helpful. The representative asked me what did I put in the blender. I told her ice, almond milk, flax seed oil, and 6 frozen strawberries. She asked did I thaw out the strawberries first, and I said no. She then informed me that I should let the strawberries thaw first. Hmmmm. It did a fairly good job of blending my morning smoothie before the collar broke, now I do not have a working blender.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;This blender broke within two months!;;LeViis Haney;;;I bought this blender two years ago, mainly to make smoothies and occasional milkshakes. It was used, on average, once a day for less than five minutes. It was excellent for what I wanted and had a design which greatly helped the blending process without need for constant stopping to get unmixed material down to the blades. After about a year it started leaking and I discovered that the plastic 'nut' that attaches the blades to the glass jar had cracked. I tried to repair it with different adhesives but nothing worked. Thinking I had just been unlucky with the first one I purchased a second of the same model. It worked just as well as the first one until the same problem occurred. Now I was a little upset and so I submitted warranty claims for both to HB. They accepted the claims and agreed to send replacement parts but with a charge of $6 for S/H for each. I replied asking them if they would guarantee the replacement parts without charging for anything if they failed (since I suspected a manufacturing problem in general with that part) and have heard nothing back, which I take as a 'no'. Too bad--I'm now using an Oster which is supposed to be pretty bulletproof. It's OK, but I liked the HB better, except for the leaking part.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Nice blender with a serious flaw;;Peter W. George;;;Don't you love the lovely sound of construction workers drilling holes in the ground at 6 am in the morning? NO? Well me neither. And this blender sounds a lot like that. Everybody in my Building knows when I make a smoothie because this blender sounds like something out of a horror movie! And on top of that it takes forever to blend or doesn't blend at all unless i stir it with a fork or spoon. AWFUL!!!!!!!!! I didn't like that all the ninja blenders where plastic so I decided to get something different this time .. something made out of good old fashion glass. And that is the only part I liked about this blender. So I guess its just me because everyone loves this blender.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Don't you love the lovely sound of construction workers drilling holes in ...;;Orlando McGuire
