I bought this blender from Sams Club over 3 years ago and it is still working great. I use it every day. I guess some people just got a bad blender. It does crush ice almost as good as the Vita-Mix. I use it to make "green smoothies" because I don't eat a lot and I need to get my fruits and veggies daily. I mix frozen rasberries, blueberries, blackberries, mangos, hemp protein powder, 6 baby carrots, a huge bunch of fresh spinach, and parsley with some pomegranite juice and orange juice and 2 small packages of splenda. It pulverizes the frozen fruits and vegetables to a smooth liquid. Start it out on the lowest setting and let it run because it slowly pulls the ingredients down to the bottom. The directions say to do it that way. Maybe the people whose motor went out started it out on high all the time. Who knows? I thought I needed a Vita-Mix for this but turns out this blender is just as good at no where near the costs.

We bought this blender about 2 years ago. It looked nice and was ideal for making smoothies for the kids. We've had an unusually cool summer, so today was the first time I took it out this summer. Unfortunately, we experienced the same problem others have had. The lights come on as if it has power, but the motor does not respond.

I PURCHASED THIS BLENDER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND AS OF TODAY -NO PROBLEMS. WE USE OURS EVERY WEEK, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. WE SERVE FROZEN DRINKS, AND IF WE ARE INVITED TO EAT OVER AT FRIENDS (EVERY WEEK) IT IS UNDERSTOOD-THE BLENDER COMES ALONG. IT'S GREAT FOR MAKING KID'S FROZEN TREATS ALSO. OUR BLENDER IS BY NO MEANS PAMPERED, IT IS EXTREMELEY EFFECIENT, AND EASY TO CLEAN. I DIDN'T CONSIDER IT TOO EXPENSIVE, OH! IT'S ALSO QUITE ATTRACTIVE. A VERY PLEASED CUSTOMER.

On January 11, 2009, I opened by new Hamilton Beach blender. By May 3, 2009, it was dead. As another user experienced, the blender still responds to the power button, and all the lights indicate it's ready for use. However, the motor is unresponsive to the start/stop button. I'd used the blender for smoothies, perhaps three times a week, and was very happy with it until today. Here's hoping Hamilton Beach stands by their product warranty program.

We are on the third blender now b/c the motors burn up. We purchased this model for the high power to make smoothies. We probably make 3 or 4 smoothies a week, and this blender can't even adequately crush the ice without a lot of support (us stirring and pushing the ice down into the blades). I would not recommend this if your primary use is smoothies, and I have to question how well it would do with mixed drinks.
Pros - company did stand behind the warranty (with a $20 shipping charge) for each replacement.
