  • Jar twists and locks into place on the base
  • Comes with a travel lid to take your drink on the go
  • Cord wraps around the base
  • Not intended for all food – manual says not to process hard foods such as cheese, crackers or meat. A maximum of 12 tablespoons can be ground at a time. Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat or extract juice from fruit or veggies.
  • Container cover has filler cap that can be removed to insert small objects when blending
  • Can not use big chunks of ice. You need to break them down. I have an ice tray where the shape is a small circle (half ball) and it was fine. Perhaps this is what you can use those holiday themed ice trays for. Some of those sizes which I have seem I think would work in this.
  • NOT dishwasher safe – but easy clean up – rinse, put water and soap in jar, blend for a minute, empty, rinse again and you’re done.
  • No complicated speeds or choices – one push button
  • I can’t find it on the box or in the manual but according to Amazon, the motor has 175 watts of power

While this might not do what a full size blender can, this is a great blender for smoothies, drinks, shakes and to grind coffee. I love that it’s small, the cord wraps around the base and I can use this thing at night and not wake up the neighbors! – K. Maxwell

I was looking for a very small blender to make smoothies in my very small kitchen. This seemed like a good size and it does work pretty well. I make smoothies from just yogurt and cut-up fruit and 2 small ice cubes. This blender has a tendency to get stuck on just spinning around and not chopping very well unless I shake it to get the fruit and ice to the bottom. Also, I must hold it in place or it will spin right off the base. In other words, it doesn’t lock in place. For my purposes it works fine but I wouldn’t recommend it for heavier jobs. – PCLane

The blades are made of stainless steel Ice SabreTM, and along with the powerful 700-Watt peak motor, it will surely give you great results easily. Just put chunks of ice or frozen items in this blender and they will turn into slushy smoothies in no time at all!

This stylish appliance is easy on the eyes and comes in the classy colors of black and white. It features 14 speeds to accommodate your various needs and a 48 oz wave-action glass jar. The glass jar is thick and locks onto its wide, sturdy base to maintain good stability. The parts of this appliance are also dishwasher friendly and easy to reassemble.

To add to that, Hamilton Beach also offers an extra long 3 years limited warranty on this product.

Many reviewers have had positive experiences with the Hamilton Beach 54245 Deluxe and would recommend it to others. This is one of them:

“I absolutely love this blender. As a disclaimer, I only use this blender to make protein smoothies every morning with frozen fruit, ice, powder and liquids. It blends them perfectly every time. You can really actually see the WAVE technology fiercely mixing the ingredients up and around to make sure every item is chopped evenly. THE ICE CRUSHING IS PERFECT. I always get the perfect little crystals each time, never any chunks or sticking. I bought this model to replace an Oster that was more expensive. I had to replace the Oster twice in 4 months after both of them broke. I finally decided to just go with another manufacturer. This Hamilton Beach is a lot sturdier. With my Oster model, the bottom of the glass portion wasn’t wide enough and it always seemed a bit shaky on the base (like an upside down triangle). This glass container has a wide enough bottom where it sits in the base secure and locks in. It also looks great on the counter. I have a very modern, updated kitchen with black and stainless steel and this goes perfectly with everything else. Also, the glass container is very thick and doesn’t feel or look cheap. I would definitely recommend Hamilton Beach over other types of blenders.”
