plunger help

I have a Hamilton Beach Tempest. It is very nice but it does not come with a plunger (HB doesn't make one for this model). It does a super nice job but if I add too much green, then it needs the extra help. Any ideas where I could get a plunger? [commercial.hamiltonbeach.com] Thanks Re: plunger help

You have a nice Blender that pulls the ingredients to the Blade, creating a good Vortex, or whirlpool. If your Greens cause Cavitation (preventing the whirlpool), simply turn off the machine, and push the Greens down using a Spatula, or a Wooden Spoon. If all the ingredients are chopped, but still won't blend, it's a sign that more water is needed. I never need to use my Tamper while my Vitamix is running. I'd like to hear how others handle the Plunger Issue......WY Re: plunger help

So yeah, I don't really need a plunger but it would be nice to have just in case. Some people on videos put whole big leafs in and then they relly on pushing the plunger. Re: plunger help

Vitamix makes two Plungers, and Blendtec has one for their blenders, made out of wood, but not made by Blendtec. There's a chance one of the three might work for your Hamilton Beach......WY Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
