Our Hamilton Beach Commercial Blender seems to be on in my kitchen all the time. Whether we are blending soups or purées, it makes short work of all jobs we give it and for under £400. The blender is robust and the stainless steel beaker is well made and strong and at 1.9 litres it's a great size for our kitchen. Ours came from Lockhart and with a two-year warranty.
