Speeds: The more speed settings available, the more user control a blender offers. Premium blenders may also offer preprogrammed options for tasks like smoothies, crushing ice, and pureeing that take the guesswork out of blending. Make sure you take advantage of these settings, otherwise you're making one of the 7 blender mistakes to avoid at all costs.

Eighteen inches of clearance is enough room for most models. All-Purpose/Conventional blenders are the most wallet-friendly.

Top considerations when choosing a Hamilton Beach blender Type

Warranties on blenders range anywhere from one to 10 years, and the most expensive machines cover at least five years. When you buy a new blender, pass on an extended warranty, it's unlikely it will cost less than the expense of any lifetime repairs. On average they’ll last about seven years.Plastic jars: These are lightweight and easy to handle. Most are BPA-free. What’s more, they don’t shatter if dropped. The problem with plastic is that it can absorb stains and odors. Thus, it must be cleaned soon after each use. When shopping for a new blender, you'll want to take several factors into account, from the type of blender and specific features you need to the size of the blender and the counterspace you have available.

A conventional Hamilton Beach blender is a classic countertop blender. It works well for any blending task that doesn’t require too much power. Fresh fruit smoothies and protein shakes are no problem for these models. However, you’ll have more difficulty crushing ice and frozen ingredients for icy drinks. Some blenders won’t perform as well as others. For instance, ingredients may not be blended consistently, with chunks potentially jammed under the blades. Others may fail to grip the countertop as they blend and begin to ‘walk’. While these faults are all relevant, remember that they can be reduced or even averted by having one of the best blenders. That’s why we put a range of models to the test — to find those that provide the best performance. We’ve found quiet models as well as those that feature a more compact design for storage.

Wave-action technology Fortunately the upturned and angled blade assembly is more than capable of blending frozen fruits and leafy vegetables into a vortex, making it a very good option for someone who is primarily focusing on making smoothies. The lid seals securely and clean up is a cinch because of the jar's shape and small size. Just a 10-second rinse cycle at full blast is all it takes to wash away any residue left on the sides or the blades.Hamilton Beach premium or professional blenders generally range from 32 to 64 ounces in capacity. This translates to two to six servings. While all Hamilton Beach blenders can blend, some are even more versatile. You’ll find blenders with the following additional functions:

The brushed stainless steel finish, chunky red dial and squared-off stance all give the Wolf High-Performance Blender the appearance of a professional-grade kitchen appliance. Weighing nearly 16-lbs, it’s best thought of as a “set it and forget it” appliance that’s also never going to shuffle or shake uncontrollably under normal circumstances.

With its four-blade design – two flat, two angled – it can produce creamy smoothies with satisfying mouthfeel in less than a minute, or crushed ice so consistent in shape you might mistake it for soda machine made. It struggled when blending oat milk however; producing a milk-like texture that was affected by a noticeable amount of fine chalkiness per sip.Just because you’re paying top dollar for a blender doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting the best performance, as our tests show.
