Eclectrics® All-Metal Appliances
Durability and Style. New Sterling Line.

Top-Rated Stand Mixer, New WaveAction™ Blenders

When Hamilton Beach® began more than a century ago, metal was the material of choice. With a variety of finishes and colors, the Eclectrics® line of all-metal appliances combines modern design with the durability and performance that is the Hamilton Beach® manufacturing heritage.

Not only is the Eclectrics® collection stylish, but the sturdy, all-metal appliances also are built for serious cooking. For example, the stand mixer was rated a “Best Buy” stand mixer by a leading consumer testing lab for its overall excellence and unusually quiet performance. All Eclectrics® appliances are covered by a 3-year limited warranty.

New for 2006, the Eclectrics® line adds Sterling, the distinctive metallic finish, to the existing colors of Seabreeze, Sugar, Apple, Pineapple, Licorice and Moroccan Red. Blenders of all colors and finishes will begin to feature the continuous top-to-bottom blending of the WaveAction™ blending system.
