hi I'm Andrew gun part 4 seen it today I'm here to review the austere beehive blender this blender looks a lot like the classic austere Iser blenders from way back in the 1940s those hulking tank-like machines had an all-metal base with a giant rounded jar that's actually where the beehive name comes from the switch though keeps that old-fashioned simplicity to make this thing feel like an update of a classic the austere beehive blender is available now starting at $60 the base comes in a variety of colors from the silver to a metallic red to a blue the jar you can get in either five cup or six cup glass varieties I was excited to see what this austere beehive blender could do the new technology for blenders we have combined with the old sturdiness that the authorizer is known for that seemed to me to be a winning combination unfortunately a lot of the design changes really hurt its performance for one it's missing a lot of the unique presets and speeds that modern blenders have I can forgive it for that simplicity has its place but this squared-off jar stops food from being able to cycle well get on the basics like smoothies whole strawberries would be left on top after 15 to 20 pulses and most other blenders in fifteen to twenty pulses already have a nice consistent drink with a little shaking and a little stirring this thing can complete the basics from crushing ice to making smoothies yeah it'll do the task but with only 600 watts at its disposal the beehive blender didn't have enough power to pass any of our stress tests all in all this is a functional machine so if you get it as a wedding gift I don't recommend fleeing in panic that said if you're looking to make a purchase I'd recommend the $40 Hamilton Beach smoothie smart blender instead it's cheaper it does the basics with less help on your part and it even did okay on the stress tests for $20 more I said this thing is functional but that's really about it if you're the one making the purchase I would strongly consider other options for seeing it I'm Andrew Gebhardt
