Hamilton Beach 52655 BlenderChef

The Hamilton Beach 52655 12-Speed BlenderChef has a great deal to offer those who are willing to give it a try. In addition to its duties as a blender, this nifty kitchen appliance also has a secret identity as a food processor.

You can chop onions or mix a mean smoothie without taking up one ounce of additional countertop space!

This is good news for those who are struggling to live with small cramped kitchens. It's also a bonus for anyone on a budget who feels as though a choice must be made. For the average price of a good quality blender you can have a blender that does the work of both.

The news just keeps getting better though. Hamilton Beach is a well known brand when it comes to kitchen appliances and you can rest assured that you are getting a quality product when you purchase this particular brand.

Features

Hamilton Beach
12-Speed BlenderChef

The most notable feature of the 12-Speed BlenderChef is the fact that it can be used as a food processor with the 3 cup capacity chopper as well as a blender that can accommodate 56 ounces (6 cups) of liquid.

Beyond that detail though there are several nifty features worth mentioning beginning with 700 watts of power underneath the hood of this blending powerhouse.

Wave-Action technology provides the perfect results for deliciously smooth smoothies each and every time you use your Hamilton Beach 52655 12-Speed BlenderChef Blender.

Advantages

There are some distinct advantages to the 52655 12-Speed BlenderChef. To begin with the handle can be adjusted so that it is well suited for a right or left-handed person.

Next, the fact that it can be used as a food processor or a blender is hard to pass up as an advantage. Anytime you can get an appliance to pull double duty without sacrificing quality or raising the price it's a good thing.

The jar (and all its many parts and pieces) is dishwasher safe. There aren't enough good things that can be said about easy cleanup. The jar of the BlenderChef also has a rather large capacity. With 7 cups or 56 ounces it's nothing at all to sneeze at.

Disadvantages

The noise is the most often complained about disadvantage and one that is easier for some people to overlook than others.

The other complaint is that it is more complicated than comparable blenders. Rather than one touch response or blending, it is a two-touch process with the Hamilton Beach BlenderChef.

Consumer Reviews

Summary

The good of the Hamilton Beach 52655 12-Speed BlenderChef far outweighs any bad that has been pointed out as of yet. This is a feature rich appliance that also happens to be reasonably priced and of high quality.

You really can't ask for more than that in a blender but when you add a food processor into the mix it's like a bonus has been thrown in for good measure.
