This week I am very excited to share with you my review of the Hamilton Beach Wave Station Plus Dispensing Blender.
You all know how much my family and I love our Mocktail nights and I’ve been eyeing this gorgeous blender for quite some time. It is simply the perfect choice if you’re looking for a blender to make drinks with!
Perfect For Making A Mocktail
The selling features for me are:
- 2 speeds and Pulse with 750 Watts of Peak power
- The WaveAction® continuously forces the mixture down into the blades for NO MORE ICE CHUNKS regardless of the batch size
- Convenient cup activated one-hand dispensing and jar design dispenses directly into the glass
- Very light 48 oz. dishwasher safe glass jar with tilted bottom, ensures everything comes out and is dishwasher safe
- Removable 2 oz. filler cup for adding and measuring ingredients while the blender in running
- 5 year warranty for peace of mind year after year
Admittedly I had high hopes for this beauty and was really hoping it wouldn’t disappoint. In the past my vintage (old, decrepit) blender often left me with ice chunks and unblended ingredients which was both irritating and frustrating.
The Hamilton Beach Wave Station Plus didn’t disappoint! With a simple push of a button it smoothly crushed all of the ice and combined every last drop!
I was very impressed with the pour spout, the kids simply loved being able to serve themselves a second glass using the spout which conveniently stores beneath the spill guard (silver front plate).
Cleaning the blender is a snap, the spout screws right off for easy rinsing. The glass is super light which makes it simple for pouring and well frankly we’re loving this machine!
With a retail value of $76.99 this is a quality choice for anyone who wants to serve up healthy drinks or a mocktail or two!
Raspberry Lime Mocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup honey
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 whole lime with skin on chopped roughly
- 2 cups ice
- 4 – 6 cups sparkling water
Preparation
- Combine honey and lime juice in a saucepan and stir on a low heat until honey is fully dissolved – about 1 minute. Allow syrup to cool.
- Pour syrup into blender with the raspberries, ice and whole lime. Puree in the blender until nice and frothy.
- Strain the raspberry seeds from the puree and return to blender.
- Pour in the desired amount of sparkling water into blender and gently blend. (Alternately if your blender doesn’t have a spout, pour puree into glass, top with sparkling water and garnish with fresh raspberries or lime wedges.).
- Allow guests to pour from blender itself and ensure your garnish choices are available at the Mocktail station.

YUM! Oh this recipe looks and sounds absolutely delicious! And the blender seems pretty cool, I love that it has an easy to use spout, this makes things for the kiddos so much easier!
The mocktail looks delicious!! I love that the blender has a 5 year warranty…that’s pretty much unheard of these days!
this looks amazing, raspberry and lime are winning combo. the kids would love that spout! our old blender left ice chunks too or started to smell like the motor was burning when we did ice lol not good!
That looks really good! Love the ingredients list too, it’s CLEAN!
This looks awesome! I love the idea of Mocktails, especially since I’ve never drank alcohol. Will definitely have to try this out :) Sounds like the Hamilton Beach Blender did a great job too :)
Oh I’ve seen this blenders in the store and wondered how they worked! Blenders can be so finicky!
Love the recipe too. Anything with raspberry is a winner for me.
This sounds delicious and I am actually looking for a blender. This Hamilton Beach blender sounds great!
I have an older version of this blender – without the glass pitcher – and I LOVE IT! I think it’s the only blender I’ll use from here on out. And awesome recipe!!
We are in the market for a blender I’m definately going to keep this in mind!! Ours is 12 years old and she makes a funny “WEEEEEE” noise when anything but baby food is put in her. I just sing along, our harmony is almost perfect.
LOOKS DELISH!! Love this! Going to have to try this tonight ;)
Yum! That looks so good!
Thanks for sharing!
Think I may need to try this! :)
That looks great! And I love my HB blender with spout as well.
I’ve been looking for a blender which I could love, and this one just might be it. Your mocktail sounds and looks fantastic too!
I need a new blender! This one sounds like it really does the job well and the drink sounds like it was delish! I never really make me any kind of special drink except for Coffee. I may just have to try this one.
Now that is my kind of drink. It looks like it got blended really smoothly too.
That looks delicious! I need a good blender, but I don’t have the storage space for one.
That looks like the perfect party drink! I’m in desperate need of a new blender. Going to check this one out.
Yum! That spout is very unique. I can see how handy that would be for cooking too.
Uhm, YUM. that looks and sounds incredible. I am in dire need of a new blender and this is going on my want list. I love the spout, what a way to prevent messes! That’s nice that it’s so easy to clean too.
Nice review! I love the mocktail recipe and I love the Hamilton Beach blender too.
Okay now I am super tempted to upgrade our very old blender just because this one has a spout! I love that feature! The mocktail recipe sounds so delicious too!
That looks SO good. I think i would add vodka. LOL!!

This looks yummy and refreshing! I don’t use a blender that often but mine keep giving out! I purchased a Magic Bullet to save counter space but I really like the pour feature on the Wave. I will have to check it out when my Magic Bullet dies. Based on experience…probably around the holidays :}
What a great combination! This looks so good. I love the spout, it seems like it would make things much easier.
Mmm… sounds awesome. I bet these would make great ice pops too :)
My food processor is also Hamilton Beach, which I use as a blender, and i love it. Your recipe looks delicious!
I am in the market for a new blender and am loving the features on this one. That Raspberry Lime Mocktail Recipe also sounds great.
That sounds like a delicious icy treat – without the chunks! I hate when blenders leave chunks of ice in my drink, my teeth get so cold. This looks like a great appliance!
This mocktail looks amazing! I love that the blender doesn’t leave chunks.
lovely drink and post delicious mocktail
