All it takes is a press of a button to get smooth and delicious results with the powerful Hamilton Beach~ Wave Crusher~ Multi-Function Blender. With 700 watts of peak power and 14 blending functions, this blender has all the power you need to mix, puree, crush ice, and more. Ordinary blenders spin contents around the walls of the jar, which can leave whole chunks untouched by the blades, but our patented Wave~Action~ System is designed to continually force the mixture down into the blades for consistently smooth results without stirring. This system, combined with our Ice Sabre~ blades, makes this blender ideal for smoothies, shakes, and icy drinks. The 40-ounce glass jar is perfect for parties or making a pitcher of milkshakes the whole family can enjoy. Our easy-pour spout eliminates drips so there~s no mess to clean up. When you're done blending, the jar, lid, and blades can be cleaned easily in the dishwasher.
