Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher
The best ultra-budget blender — 40oz glass jar and 700W motor for basic blending at the lowest possible price.
Our Review
The Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher does exactly what a blender should do at the lowest possible price. Its 700W motor with Wave Action system continuously pulls ingredients down into the blades for smooth results without manual intervention. The 40oz glass jar is more durable and scratch-resistant than plastic, and 14 blending functions cover smoothies, shakes, purees, and ice crushing. At $39, it's the blender for people who just want a blender that works.
