This is exactly what I was looking for, a small normal blender (that isn鈥檛 a personal size blender). Blends smooth smoothies, and mayonnaise. Has a five year warranty. A few things I鈥檓 worried -the container is very thin plastic, it will last if I鈥檓 careful and don鈥檛 put it in the dishwasher. -there鈥檚 no safety function. I鈥檝e accidentally turned this blender on a few times. If the lid is off, you can still blend. If I had children, this would be terrifying.
Updated April 3rd 2020 - I really regret buying this blender. Its small, I like that. It looks good. But it鈥檚 so cheap... I鈥檝e got thru 3 of these, each time I have to go thru warranty, it takes one month and $15. The Hamilton beach warranty reps, suck. They email me and ask me the same question over and over again, for days. Then they tell me to call number to pay for shipping, and it takes me a week to get somebody on the phone. Holy crap, what the hell? I鈥檓 never buying Hamilton beach again
