Hamilton Beach Cookbook Blender

[cam2s]

As if I needed anything more in my kitchen, but I ran across this rather interesting Hamilton Beach blender and for four dollars couldn't leave it setting. This particular unit has a rubber spatula that you turn around the inside of the carafe. Other than that oddity it seems to be a very nice machine...it's is nice and heavy, has a space for the cord to store in the back and has 7 speeds for whatever your blending needs are.

Very neat.  I haven't seen that one and I've seen and have a lot of them.. I'm guessing early late 60's early 70's with the woodgrain and the spatula designed to compete with the Hoover blenders of the time which had one but didn't rotate.

Low Silhouette Blender

I have one of these blenders too, uses the same plastic used to make most food processor workbowls.

Nice concept blender that did not use any of their standard parts. Once discontinued parts were no longer available not long after.

It was available around 1964 before the speed, timer, and other features "war" with blenders.

On that HB blender shown they have what could be called today by Blendec--a "Twister" lid.Have a Twister jar for my Blendtecs-great for making real peanut butter.Bet you could make it in that HB blender.So---the twister lid isn't a new innovation.

I was looking at one on flea pay recently

its an odd blender, auction said is was powerful but never listed the wattage on the base.

 

do you think its powerful? More so than a regular HB?

Mine has a wattage of 900 watts listed on the base. I don't have much experience with blenders but it seems very powerful. I made a fruit smoothie today and it pretty much instantly pulverized everything within a few seconds of turning it on, and that was just on the lowest speed. It was "smooth" before I even had a chance to get it turned up.
