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!! March 2, 2009

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!!!

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.

Best blender I have ever used. It's plain, rather industrial looking, but I'll leave it on my counter anyways. Probably my dad, a chef's influence. He used to tell me his favorite metal was stainless steel. It is surprisingly quiet, doesn't strain at chopping ice and making smoothies like the gourmet blenders I've tried. The glass jar is large enough. All blenders seem to claim good churning action. I think this blender does a better job of it. I notice the blades are set higher in the jar. No leaks. I think every blender I've ever owned leaked, at least a little. When you put the jar on the blender base, it's a bit looser than previous blenders I've used, but it doesn't matter when you turn the blender on. You might want to shop around. The price varies on the web, but buy it. It's a bargain.

Due to the recent end of a long term relationship I was put in the position of needing multiple appliances, and furniture, and TV, etc. I was cruising through Amazon looking for just the right items to start my life over. Items that would look at me from the computer screen and say "Hey, I want to be a part of your life." or maybe "Pick me. I will love you and never leave you and take all your stuff with me." Anyway, that is a subject for my therapist, not here.
I came across this blender and it spoke to me. Maybe not the statements above.. It was more like "Choose me, I won't let you down, I will grind up everything you insert in me." The blender called out to me like a bottle of Jack Daniels calls out to an alcoholic. I had to make this blender a part of my new family. I ordered immediately.
Being new to the whole single bachelor life I am not what you would call a culinary artist.
Item 1 - a simple shake. Ice cream, milk, banana. No problem. Blender handled it like a champ.
My mind began to race. Maybe I can blend all my meals. Oh yeah. This whole kitchen / cooking thing would be a snap if I could pull that off.
Item 2 - peanut butter, bread, jelly. For liquid I went with milk again. Disappointment would be an understatement. I would rather clean an ashtray with my tongue than drink that crap again. The blender, however, chewed up this combo quite easily.
Stomach still quivering, I forged on to the next combo. Who doesn't like hot dogs? A staple in every single man's life right?
Item 3 - Hot dog, bun, ketchup, mustard, relish. Went with water for liquid this time. Milk and hot dogs did not sound enticing. The blender did great. It plowed through that mystery meat with little difficulty. The taste you wonder? Do I need to answer that? I may have done some permanent damage to my digestive tract. I will french kiss a 10 dollar hooker before drinking that again.
After 2 days to clear my colon and make the nightmares stop, I decided to try one last time. I stared in the fridge long and hard. There it was... right in front of me the whole time. One of my favorite meals. Cold pizza and beer. Why had I not thought of this before?
I must admit, the blender struggled with the cold pizza. It just wasn't soaking up the beer as well as I thought it would. The beer foamed up and threatened to spill out. Had to hold the lid down tight.
I will not hold you in suspense on this "can't miss" item. I think falling down the hole of an outhouse would have been better than putting this concoction in my pie hole. I learned something also... You CAN continue to throw up long after you think your stomach is empty and you are done.
I believe that I will give the blender a break for a while... and my stomach... and my colon.
If my ex-girlfriend is reading this, laugh it up. You will soon be making new friends... I wrote your phone number on the wall at the truck stop.
