Blender blade cutter STAINLESS for Hamilton Beach blenders.

Working great so far. I've had this product for two months now, so I'm finally willing to review it. I don't like reviewing products until I feel like I've used them enough to find out if they work, if they appear durable, etc.So, after two months, I can say that this part is actually superior to the OEM part. The blades are sharper, the stainless cleans better, the blades spin more smoothly, and the fit is perfect.FWIW, I worked in bars and restaurants on and off through high school (yes, we could do that back then) and college and I became used to the classic Hamilton Beach bar blender. I've used that exact blender or it's progeny for well over 20 years. It's gone through a few model numbers since then, but it's still really the same device. Nothing fancy. There aren't 10 speeds. You don't need 10 speeds to make a margarita. You don't need 10 speeds to make anything. I still favor it over our fancy food processor for fine chopping of homemade bread crumbs, dicing veggies into very fine pieces, and such. (yes, you can do that in a blender. well, if you have a good blender.)In short, for the price, I like these blades enough that I'd be tempted on a new purchase of a HB Blender to just buy these stainless blades and swap them out day one. And to be clear, I did NOT receive anything for my review other than the warmhearted feeling that I am providing good advice to people that are looking for help in their decision.

Great replacement for the original blade, which had a plastic base that had cracked and started to leak. This one is made entirely of stainless steel, so I don't think that it will have that problem. Fits perfectly and works very well.

Works great and seems more heavy duty than the old one where the base is plastic. On my old one the plastic was cracking. I have ground ice, hard bread, and caked together hard brown sugar and this on still works good.

Fits my Hamilton Beach Professional blender (model 809) perfect as long as the gasket is underneath the blade assembly, if it is on top of the blade assembly, which is normally where I put it, the pitcher does not seat all the way in the blender housing (rocks a little). Note: you need to have a second gasket on top to prevent occasional leakage. Well made with no visible rubber seal to wear out and collect food particles for bacterial growth.Initially I smelled something like burning oil, that was from the blade assembly bushing breaking in and went away. For frozen banana/blueberry smoothies it worked good, BUT to make almond milk it was not good (left large pieces). The reason was the blades had not been sharpened at all, in fact they had curled/rolled edges (used 10X magnifier to see them). So I used an 8" mill bastard file to first flatten the back of each blade, and then to put an edge on each blade. Now it makes good almond milk (4 almonds/8 oz water). Right now there is a little more resistance needed to turn the blade , versus the 16 yr old original blade, but that is probably because it is still breaking in, probably better to start off a little snug than loose. Update: after over a year of use the blade now turns easily and is still sharp.

I have used this blade assembly for about a couple of months. The stainless steel design is nice because it will not crack like the plastic did on my last blade assembly also purchased through Amazon, which I might add was also very cheap. However, these blades are NOT nice and sharp, which makes for a very rough blend which splatters all over the sides of the blender when making simple smoothies. Also, there is no rubber gasket between the blades and the center support, which is generally standard in blade assemblies. This makes for a very noisy blend and the spacer that is there is a concave metal piece which is difficult to clean. It almost seems as though it is an after-market piece. It's just not the best quality. So, does it blend? Yes! Do I wish it was a better quality product? Definitely YES!

I bought the original blender in 1969 -- finally needed new blades. Works, but doesn't fit as snugly as it should -- I think Hamilton Beach has changed the size / spacing of the gripper teeth on the bottom of the unit so it doesn't seat as firmly as the original -- but what can I expect from a product that is still working after 40 + years.

My very old Hamilton Beach blender finally gave up because the rubber grommet on the blade dry rotted and broke. There was nothing else wrong with the blender so I tried to get a blade assembly to repair it. This fit perfectly and was the same design BUT it was not sharp and it was trying to beat up the food instead of cutting thru it to blend and all I was trying to make was a green smoothie. Thumbs down on this one. I had to return it so I do not recommend.

This is made a bit more cheaply than the original from my early 1960s vintage Hamilton Beach Model 9. The original could be disassembled via a nut holding the whole thing together and the whole assembly thoroughly cleaned. This is just crimped together at the top of the shaft. But I bought a small toothbrush to use to clean out all the nooks and crannies that this thing has (it WILL collect food in the cracks if you don't do this), and that seems to solve the problem.They don't last forever. The rubber gear-like part at the bottom tends to come unglued from the metal disk it's attached to, but it can be reglued; it helps to roughen the surface of the metal disk and the rubber part before doing this. Use epoxy if you can.I've also had one whose shaft just seized inside it's housing, and since the whole thing is just crimped together, repairing that is pretty much impossible.They're not great, but for around $12 you can keep your blender running for a year or two. I'm waiting for my third one to arrive now.The one I have now is my second one. The rubber part that engages with the blender motor separated from the rest of the part after about a year of use. I attempted to epoxy it back into place, but it didn't work. Still, they're relatively cheap, so replacing it wasn't a big deal.
