Hamilton Beach Power Elite Wave Action Blender 40 Oz

Overview

This is the blue Kitchen Makeover edition of Hamilton Beach's Power Elite blender, matching the 700-watt motor, 40-ounce glass jar, and 12-function Wave Action system in a color-matched exclusive finish.

The Kitchen Makeover branding is a color and styling variant rather than a mechanical upgrade, aimed at buyers replacing an aging blender who want it to match their counter setup. One reviewer describes retiring a decade of emulsion-blender smoothie routine for this model, which suggests it holds up for daily use once the counter switch is made. As with the grey version, a jar-separation complaint surfaces from multiple buyers around the same period.

• 700-watt motor, stainless Ice Sabre blades
• 40-ounce glass jar in Kitchen Makeover blue
• 12 blending functions, 5 controls
• No-drip patented pour spout

Who it's for

Suits buyers who want the Power Elite's ice-crushing performance in a specific color for their kitchen, particularly anyone upgrading from a hand blender or older countertop model. Not the choice for anyone prioritizing a plastic jar or maximum long-term reliability over styling.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Wave Action circulation and 700 watts of peak power work the same way as the standard grey model, pulling ingredients down into the Ice Sabre blades rather than relying on raw blade speed. Two-piece assembly, jar plus base, keeps operation simple, though it means the jar must seat correctly to run safely, a step flagged in more than one review. The lid's multiple access points let ingredients go in mid-blend without stopping the motor.
