Hamilton Beach Bar Blenders - Which Mixer is Right for You?

Hamilton Beach has been designing durable, effective household and commercial kitchen appliances for more than 100 years. Their dedication to innovation and reliability has cemented them as a consumer favorite for a wide variety of kitchen and bar equipment, especially when it comes to commercial drink blenders.

Innovative Wave~Action System & Stainless Steel Blades

All of the blenders covered in this blog include a patented Wave~Action system. Constructed to continually force your mixture down into the blades, this feature ensures smooth, consistent results every time. No more ice or fruit chunks! The way the process works is that product is pushed up on the sides of the container, making room for the product in the middle to drop onto the blades. This movement speeds up the blending process without sacrificing performance.

The stainless steel blades are built to last and quickly cut through ice.

Benefit from the Basics - Standard Bar Blender: 1-15 Drinks a Day

The basic Hamilton Beach bar blender is dependable and affordable. It has two speeds, with a durable toggle switch and a 1 peak HP motor for consistent results. This unit is ideal for frozen drinks made from small or crushed ice, and the average blend time is 25 seconds. Because it can only handle around 15 drinks a day, we recommend this blender for low volume applications.

One-year warranty included.

Reduce Prep Time with a Rio Blender: 15-25 Drinks a Day

Take a step up from the basics with a Hamilton Beach Rio blender (with either a co-polyester or stainless steel container). These blenders are also two-speed, but include a pulse action feature as well. With an average mixing time of 20 seconds and a 1.6 peak HP motor, these are a solid investment for cocktail and coffee shop applications. Similar to the basic blender, it is designed to blend small or crushed ice.

These blenders are protected from moisture damage using sealed switches and a protective brow that directs drips away from the controls.

Two-year warranty and metal drive coupling included.

Medium Volume Tango Blender: 20-50 Drinks a Day

The Tango bar blender uses a power 2.4 peak HP motor to blend drinks quicker - the average blend time is 15 seconds. The bigger motor means this unit can handle both half and full cube ice for a more versatile drink selection.

The adjustable timer with auto shut-off offers hands-free blending, the durable metal drive coupling delivers ample torque to the blades, and the controls includes high/low/pulse action features. It also has a protective brow and sealed switches to protect against moisture.

Includes a two-year warranty.

Get Superior Results with High Performance Blenders

Blend a drink in an average of 12 seconds with these high performance blenders. Ideal for a range of drink blending and mixing applications - they can handle half cube ice, full cube ice, smoothies, frozen drinks, and more - there are a number of different options so you can find the one that is perfect for your bar.

The high performance blenders we offer from Hamilton Beach have an all-metal drive coupling with a drive pad sensor, which turns the motor off when the jar is not properly attached. This prevents clutch grinding and will help to extend the life of your jar. The blade and motor drive coupling come with a lifetime warranty.

They also include a three-year general warranty and a powerful 3 HP motor.

Powerful Workhorse Blenders: 50+ Drinks a Day

Make blending simple with blenders focused on performance. They include high, low, and pulse cycles.

Hamilton Beach HBH550 Fury Blender

The Fury blender is easy-to-use and precise, incorporating large, simple paddle switches with an adjustable timer. All you have to do is set the timer and hit START. The blender will automatically shut off when the time is up, freeing your bartender up to help other customers instead of monitoring the drink.

Hamilton Beach HBH650 Tempest Blender

Get a blender that is loaded with features by choosing the Tempest. It has an adjustable jump cycle - starting the blender on low speed to minimize noise while the largest chunks are being blended, then switching to high speed to finish off the drink - as well as a timer with an auto shut-off feature.

The unit will alert your bartender to prevent overheating, and has a cool-down cycle so they can get back to work as soon as possible. It can also be mounted in your counter!

Low Noise Commercial Blenders: 75+ Drinks a Day

Tired of having to shout just to be heard over the sound of ice being crushed? Get a blender with the advanced Quiet Shield enclosure to reduce blender noise. It's about as loud as a normal conversation, so you can continue helping customers while the drink blends. And the motor actually turns off when the Quiet Shield is lifted, guaranteeing quiet blending every time.

Hamilton Beach HBH750 Eclipse Blender

In addition to the Quiet Shield, the Eclipse blender has QuietBlend technology, making it one of Hamilton Beach's quietest commercial blenders. The lower housing is removable, allowing for the blender to be mounted in the counter, which would reduce noise levels even further!

This unit includes over 100 pre-programmed cycles for one-touch blending functions, and custom programs are available using the memory card slot. It also has a temperature gauge that gives an alert before the motor overheats. In combination with the cool-down cycle, this protects your blender and lets you resume normal operation as quickly as possible.

Hamilton Beach HBH850 Summit Blender

The Summit High Performance blender is one of the smartest blenders out there, with an Auto Blend feature that automatically adjusts for differences in ingredients, ice hardness, and even bartenders to ensure drink consistency every time. You upload a drink profile, and the Auto Blend sensor will stop when the drink is perfectly blended.

It also uses an airflow baffle to circulate cool air around the motor, preventing overheating. This is essential for high volume establishments where back-to-back blending is the norm!

Another enhancement that makes this a great choice for busy establishments is the hundreds of pre-programmed cycles. Upload the settings for your signature drinks (through a USB port), and all your bartender has to do is choose the cycle and let the blender take it from there.
