Hamilton Beach 54200R Blender

Pros: Sturdy with many settings.
Cons: The instruction pamphlet. I prefer a book with recipes.

I think I’m becoming a spokesperson for the Hamilton Beach Company. It seems like each time I get discouraged with another brand’s small appliance, I end up buying one of Hamilton Beach’s units, and I’m usually very satisfied....

Pros: Strength, durability, ice-breaking capability
Cons: Lid warps, pourability, pitcher does shatter

Blenders are throwbacks to a primitive era. While the external packaging has undergone myriad changes, the basic internals have not, nor has their prime mission to easily mix, grate, crush, puree, frappe, etc whatever a person dares throw into the...

Pros: Has a glass jar
Cons: Ring on bottom cracks and leaks

I bought this 40 ounce Hamilton Beach 14 Speed blender 3.5 years ago. I looked at many different models and was surprised that most had plastic jars. I was only interested in getting one with a glass jar, so I was really limited, and I choose...

Pros: inexpensive, crushes ice fairly well
Cons: lumps remain in ice when crushing it.

I guess the title pretty much says it all about this blender. I have been blenderless for about 2 years now and not missing it because I had a hand held Braun which worked just fine for me. But I tried one day to make a margarita w/it. No can do!!! That...

Pros: Does what it's supposed to, lots of useful speeds
Cons: don't overload or it won't blend

A blender is one of those appliances where you either use it all the time or it takes up space on your counter collecting dust. Before you buy one decide if you really need one. Our blender sat unused for quite a while, until we had a baby. Now I use...

Pros: does a fine job with ice, spices, and blended drinks
Cons: Hard to control so that a less even consistency is obtained when desired.

This blender was a gift to me, and while I did not make the actual purchase, I had done my homework enough to know to request it specifically. I have not been at all disappointed.

The Hamilton Beach power blender combined a widemouth glass...

Pros: Stuff gets pulverized fairly quickly; can disintegrate most solids
Cons: Not much has changed in all this time; specific settings aren't much different

There really isn't a great deal of technical information to impart with a blender, but I can say that this particular model is the kind we have in our home.

When I was a kid I used to love to make stuff with my Mom's and this one doesn't...

Pros: Easy to clean,ice breaker speed
Cons: None that I've found

I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Power Blender mainly because I love slush's.Going to the Sonic to buy a slushy every day just got to expensive so I thought why not spend the...

After being married for 12 years I finally got my first Blender! I don't know how I survived without it all these years. Mine is a used one, but Hey! it does whatever I want it to do.

It has a 40 ounce glass jar and 14 different speeds. It's...

Pros: Cheap, never caught fire (just smelled that way)
Cons: Cheap, Motor burns out too easily, Suspect ice-crushing ability

When setting out to buy a blender for my new place, I decided on the Hamilton Beach 14 Speed Power Blender. I just wanted something to make mixed drinks with, and the occasional milkshake. It had the "Ice Crushing" boost button on it, so I figured I...

Pros: Lots of options,self-cleans
Cons: None

I have had the Hamilton Beach blender for several years now. I used it pretty infrequently until last March when I underwent facial reconstruction surgery. Now, i had to get used to using that blender real quick unless I want to starve to death!
...

Pros: Good all around soft food blending
Cons: It takes an ice age to make a pina colada!

I got this blender as a gift for my birthday, and it's a really great blender, I love it! It has the 14 different speeds (which, truth be told, I'm not really positive you need. If I was purchasing one for myself, I would have gone for the model with...

Pros: Cheap, great for liquids
Cons: Won't chop ice or harder substances

I may have gotten a lemon - and I can't even make a decent margarita with that lemon!

My mom always said you get what you pay for, so I made sure to buy a name brand. Now, I won't exaggerate, I only paid about $20 dollars for it at Walmart,...

Pros: Multi-Speed, Glass Pitcher
Cons: None

Once I bought this blender, I put it to the test. I used it to make everything: margaritas, milk shakes, even my french toast batter, and it passed every test. I got this for Christmas last year for my new apartment from my mom. I had been looking for...

Pros: Works very very well
Cons: None

A couple of years ago my mother bought me this Blender for Christmas.
About a week ago, she was trying to figure out which one of her daughters she gave the glass blender to. I spoke up.. "It was me, mom!" Her Blender had gone bad, and...
