Hamilton Beach 58912-SAU Professional High-Performance Blender, Plastic, 1400 W, RED

Product Information

Regardless of price, blenders are now more powerful as manufacturers know their products need to be able to puree frozen fruit and ice cubes for smoothies. If you can afford to upgrade to a premium appliance, you’ll get the ability to heat your food to a serving temperature or puree them to the texture of ice cream. Plus more and more blenders are coming with high quality plastic jars that are lighter to lift and don’t have removable blades. Thus eliminating the hassle of taking them apart and reassembling them. Blender FAQs How much should you spend on a blender? The commercial-grade 3.5 peak horsepower motor can be adjusted anywhere between 1,500 to 25,000 RPM using a large knurled dial. In instances when an extra bit of power is required, the Hurricane Pro offers the equivalent of turning the dial to “11” with a Turbo Boost button that jets the blades to an insane 30,000 RPM, an option we used to completely eviscerate large frozen strawberries in just three second increments (in turn splattering the top inside of the jar like a Rothko painting). If you’re concerned about noise, choose a Hamilton Beach blender with a sound shield. It covers the jar during blending to dampen the sound. You don’t have to worry about disturbing your family while whipping up an early morning concoction! Chopping attachment

Hamilton Beach premium or professional blenders generally range from 32 to 64 ounces in capacity. This translates to two to six servings. The most common sign it’s time to replace your blender is that it stops working. You may also notice that your blender is slowing down, taking longer to blend or food is not coming out with as smoothly as they used to. If you bring it in for a repair and are quoted a price that’s more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, you’re better off buying a replacement. 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.

OPTION TWO

You can find Hamilton Beach blenders with plastic or glass jars. Choosing between the two is really a matter of personal preference. Both materials have pros and cons. 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. For a higher level of performance, opt for a Hamilton Beach blender with a powerful motor that delivers 1,500 to 1,800 watts of power. Capacity

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. The motor is both fast and durable enough to create friction at speeds for hot soups that literally steam upon opening the lid, something Vitamix blenders are famous for. But all that power also resulted in the loudest decibel recorded during testing, and it also disappointed while crushing ice, leaving large untouched pieces amongst powdery snow. The E310 also comes with its own small-sized tamper to help push ingredients into the maws of its 2.0 HP powered cutting blades. 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.Personal/Smoothie blenders are perfect for fruit smoothies, milkshakes and powdered drinks. The mixing container doubles as a travel jar, so they're excellent for athletes and commuters alike. They're also smaller (and less expensive) than conventional and premium blenders.

Hamilton Beach conventional blenders typically range from 40 to 52 ounces in capacity. This translates to three to five servings. The technology pulls the ingredients in your blender down toward the blades. The result: smooth texture without having to stop the blender to stir the ingredients. Jar materialHamilton Beach blenders have anywhere from two to ten speeds. Some premium models also offer specific recipe settings. For example, the smoothie setting applies the ideal blending speed for… you guessed it: smoothies! Blending functions It can be difficult to tell which blenders will offer you the optimum performance based on specifications alone. While wattage may emphasize power, any number of things can deter the results, from the blade design to the stability. That’s why we’ve tested a range of blenders for you; so we can say with confidence which will best suit your blending needs. What are disadvantages of a blender Some Hamilton Beach blenders have touchpad controls, which are extremely easy to clean. Others have push-button controls that are simple to use but can collect dirt and residue.
