Hamilton Beach PowerBlend

The 20 oz. personal jar is made of BPA-free plastic and is designed primarily for smoothies and cold drinks. For hot ingredients, it is safer to use the 52 oz. glass jar, which is better equipped to handle temperature changes.

While no high-powered blender is completely silent, this model features a patented design specifically engineered to reduce noise levels compared to standard blenders. It is significantly quieter than most traditional models, making it a better choice for early morning use.

The tamper is a tool used to push ingredients down toward the blades while the blender is running. It is particularly useful for thick mixtures like nut butters, smoothie bowls, or frozen desserts that might otherwise get stuck.

Yes, the glass jar, the personal travel jar, and the lid are all dishwasher safe. To maintain the longevity of the stainless steel blades, we recommend placing them on the top rack or hand-washing them.

Yes, the 825-watt motor is specifically designed to crush ice and break down tough, frozen ingredients. The stainless steel blades work in tandem with the motor to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.

Motor overload protection is a safety mechanism that automatically shuts off the blender if it detects that the motor is working too hard or overheating. This prevents damage to the internal components and extends the overall lifespan of the appliance.
