In bustling commercial kitchens or busy home settings, the Hamilton Beach HBH550 blender stands out. Its large paddle switches make operation a breeze, allowing you to quickly start and stop the blender. Simply set the adjustable timer according to your recipe, and hit START for consistently smooth blends every time. The patented Wave~Action® System is a game-changer. Unlike ordinary blenders that only spin contents around the jar walls, leaving chunks unblended, this system features a unique container and blade design. It ensures a super-creamy texture in every blend. Powered by a robust 3-horsepower motor, it can handle thick ingredients efficiently and is designed for long motor life. The paddle switches are durable and user-friendly, and the timer with automatic shutoff lets you focus on other tasks. The stackable 64 oz. (1.8 L) polycarbonate container is break-resistant and saves counter space. Its cutter assembly has dual bearings for a longer jar lifespan. The all-metal drive coupling is tough and reliable. A jar pad sensor turns off the motor when the jar is removed, preventing clutch grinding and extending the jar's life. The unit comes with a base and one 1.8L/64oz container. It operates at 120V~, 60 Hz, 13 Amps and has a 3-year parts and labor warranty. It's NSF Certified, meeting public health protection standards for food safety, and ETL Certified, adhering to North American product safety and industry standards.

Using your Hamilton Beach HBH550 blender is easy. First, place the stackable polycarbonate jar on the base, making sure it's properly seated. The jar pad sensor will detect if the jar is in place.

You can choose between high and low pulse settings for different blending needs. When the timer goes off, the blender will automatically shut off, so you can focus on other things. For safety, always keep your hands away from the blades. Don't run the blender without any ingredients for a long time as it may damage the motor. To clean the blender, unplug it first. You can remove the jar and wash it with warm, soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Avoid getting water on the electrical parts. Regularly check the all-metal drive coupling and cutter assembly for any signs of wear. If you notice any issues, contact customer service. With proper use and maintenance, your blender will serve you well for years.
