This is my third blender and finally I got it right. Easy to use, easy to clean and blends even frozen fruit with ease. The noise sheild is an added plus.

I love this machine especially because it's quieter than all the ones I've used in the past

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldn't wait to come home from a 10 day roadtrip to try this out. Worked like a dream right out of the box! Made the Hamilton Beach cucumber mint smoothie. Much quieter than my Ninja and just as easy to use!

The pitcher doesn't have a handle and I'm guessing you made that decision so you wouldn't have to make the sound shield bigger and I get that. One change would be to mold the handle inside the pitcher, if you'd make it hollow close it on either side so liquid doesn't get into the handle. Problem solved.

Love the quiet shield and cleaning feature on this blender. It purees well, which is the feature I use most.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find this blender to be simple to operate and certainly ample power to handle any task. The cover does reduce the noise level, but not quite as much as expected. However it is quieter than any other blender I have owned!

I use this blender about five mornings a week for a breakfast smoothie. It is reasonably quiet and does a good job uniformly blending the ingredients, which range from spinach to seeds to frozen fruit. The plastic blender jar did split after just a few months, but Hamilton Beach was responsive in addressing this matter under warranty. I now wash the jar by hand and no longer in the dishwasher (top shelf only when I did use the dishwasher) and so far so good with the replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great blender. The outer shield does reduce the noise for the most part. It is very loud without the shield. It is very powerful. Crushes ice for smoothies in seconds. love the self cleaning function. Nice to not have to take it all apart and wash it every time. The only thing I didn't like is the main container does not have a handle on it only the outer cover. Overall it is an amazing blender.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this little blender as it is compact and does not take up a lot of counter space. It is perfect for small batches of smoothies or dressings and sauces. The "Quiet" feature was what made me choose this product. I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. I did not find it any less noisy than other blender.

This blender was the worst ive ever purchased. Didnt work and on top of that it was smaller than we had imagined. We ended up returning it the same day
