Hamilton Beach 53155 Wavestation Plus Blender, Black and Silver

This blender sucks so bad that it sprayed milkshake everywhere after it's 10th use. I make about 4 milkshakes per week, and the plastic jar is a joke. the threading at the base of the jar that locks into the base with the motor cracked and now it is a piece of trash. . . I will never own another plastic jar blender nor will I ever own another hamilton piece of beach blender. JUNK.

To replace this gasket, where the clear top attaches to the base unit, is a pain and/or expensive. I've been to three small appliance repair places... no gasket fits. I've been to the large national home repair places... nothing but generic replacement parts.As a blender, It's GREAT! To me though, it's not worth the hassel of trying to find replacement parts.

We've had this blender for a couple years now. In the first 6 months, the rubber gasket got sliced up and needed to be replaced ($2) and 2 months ago, the blender jar got cracked to the point where it's leaking ($15). Even though it has a 3 year warranty, it wasn't covered by either of these problems.Overall, great at making smoothies, as long as you add enough liquid to get it going. You may have to shake/stir the chunks at first, but after that, it works great, and the "wave-action" really does work.I probably would've given it 4+ stars if it was more durable, or if the replacement parts were covered under warranty.

Bought this as a gift for my mother, she loved it! Has a pour spout for smoothies which was her favorite feature.

I have three of these. One which has functioned great for maybe 4 years. I like it so much for it's power and convenience that I purchased two back ups cause I know how these things go when they discontinue something that works well. The main thing I value is the 700w motor which makes the creamiest smoothies. It crushes the ice to an imperceptible fineness.The dispenser works well. It did break after four years of regular use, that prompted the purchase of the first backup.

The blender worked ok, but broke after 3 years. I called Hamilton B, and they would not replace it and said they did not have a part to help. She said cars dont work after awhile...whatever, I want my next blender to not fill a landfill after 3 years. Get a nice brand that stands behind their work.

ok

I have loved this blender for a year. However, after hitting the 1 year mark the spout stopper broke, the plastic jar cracked and the motor is starting to make strange sounds. Granted I did use it everyday for a year and washed it in a dishwasher. Still I think that a blender should last a bit longer.
