Customer Reviews

Attractive powerhouse
I just bought this Hamilton Beach 52277 Classic Chrome blender (for under six bills with shipping) to replace an aging but still working Osteriser (just like Belle) that had lasted two decades. With 800 watts, this is far more powerful, and the polished stainless steel base is far more attractive. I also like the glass jar (as my Oster had) for being able to blend hot soups. The heavier lid is very flexible but somehow survives the dishwasher without any softening (unlike the Oster). Moreover, the gear teeth the jar sits on are straight (rather than angled - what was starting to regularly slip on the Oster) for a better fit. Even though I rarely use more than fast, slow, and pulse (this blender has ten speeds and pulse), I'm glad I picked this one over the Oster 4093 Classic Beehive blender with its noisier but weaker 500 watts, the need to handwash a loose fitting lid, and just two speeds (on and pulse). Finally, I have also seen greater splashing as others have commented elsewhere from the new "Wave-Action" blade (common to both newer Hamilton and Oster blenders for more vigerous blending) when adding thick additives to liquids (but the well-fitting Hamilton lid has so far prevented any spilling). I expect this to be my last blender purchase - only a second jar and parts for when one set is in the dishwasher (of course, time will tell).

Worth the price and More!!
My main reason for purchasing the Hamilton Beach 52277 12 Speed Classic Chrome blender was to make smoothies with frozen fruit on occasion. This blender comes with 800watts of power as well as an ice-crushing feature. When using this speed you may also between high and low. I've made several smoothies in this blender and they turn out yummy!! The blender also has the new technique of "wave" mixing, which I believe does a far better job of pulling the ingrediants down to the bottom.
I also love the chrome look of this blender. It looks very stylish sitting on my counter. The price of this blender I was pleasantly surprised- $56 with free shipping on Amazon. It also is rated 4.5 stars by other owners but I give it five stars overall. it's made of all metal which is a plus both in longevity and staying still on the counter when in use. The jar is made of glass and is a good size for families, entertaining, etc.
If you love to make smoothies, ice drinks, etc. and need a powerfull, stylish looking well-made blender that doesn't cost alot, I recommend highly the Hamilton Beach 52277 12 speed Classic Chrome blender!!!

Great Blender!!!
I bought this blender today. I had an Oster of 12 speed with a 450 watt motor that although good not as reliable as this one. No more little pieces of ice in my smoothies and in only 10 seconds your smoothie is ready to be enjoy! This blender does exactly as it says in the box and is powerful(800 watts) yet not as noisy as my other blender. I paid only $39.99 for mine and comes with a 3 year warranty. Great for the price. Looks great also.
