I just received my PowerMax Blender today and haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. However, for over 50 years I have been using Hamilton Beach appliances and not been disappointed. My expectations are Super high but I know that it will exceed my expectation.
seems sturdy enough to last awhile but not as powerfull as expected, and super loud. My last 1500 watt blender by a brand called "universal" seemed a bit more powerfull, but they would not sell me a replacement jar.
