I see that the reviews of this blender are quite mixed: from "can't be beat!" to "worthless."
Well, all I can do is tell you my experiences with this model.
The negative: Maybe it's just me, because others have written that it crushes ice cubes. I tried five ice cubes at a time, reducing it to even just one at a time, and I simple couldn't get more than something that resembled frost in the bottom of the blender.
I'll use it and enjoy it for hot chocolate and smoothies, but I'm still going to have to get an ice-crusher.
The positive:
It made perfect smoothies for me, using bananas, strawberries, blueberries and other fruit. Much of the fruit was frozen, but it still produced well-blended smoothies.
It makes wonderful "Abuelita-style" hot chocolate. This is the Mexican hot chocolate you make first heating milk in a microwave (Pyrex bowl), then pouring it into the blender and adding one of those hard Mexican discs of cocoa. Produces one of the best hot chocolates in less than 5 minutes!
It works amazingly well to mix up pumpkin pie filling. Blends it perfectly for the pie,
The large bottom of the container makes it far easier to clean than most blenders. That' a real plus if you use your blender a lot.

This is the ultimate blender, and not just for smoothies. The heavy glass pitcher is so much more durable than the plastic kind, and the built-in spout makes for a splatter-proof pour.
My favorite feature would have to be the auto smoothie button. Simply put all the smoothie ingredients in, hit that button just once, and it does it all for you, from pulsing to chop ice to the final whir for that creamy, perfect consistency.
I've used mine to puree soup and for smoothies, and am totally happy with it. Unpeeled apple chunks in my smoothies practically melt to liquid, and even the skins are barely visible specks.

Don't be fooled by the name. This Hamilton Beach "Smoothie Smart" blender is not just for smoothies. It has handled every blender chore I have thrown its way, from pureeing squash and carrot soup to chopping nuts to making Hollandaise sauce, salad dressing, salsa, and...even smoothies! The build of this blender seems to be pretty good. It's sturdy and will hopefully last a number of years. It might sound silly, but my favorite thing about this blender is how easy it is to clean. The base is simple to wipe clean because of its covered buttons, and the rest of the parts are dishwasher safe. I have a 25-year-old Waring blender that my wife and I got as a wedding gift. I think this Hamilton Beach blender will be replacing it.
