Frankly it’s a heck of a lot more options than the Stay or Go which only sports a fat switch on its front face. Even the Ninja Nutri Ninja and Oster Beehive Blender have more basic controls, either push-down to blend or an old-school flip switch. My only real complaint here is that these keys feel a bit lightweight and tend to jiggle around in their housings. Another trait the MultiBlend shares with the Stay or Go is a small footprint. Compared with the monsters of the blending world, the Blendtec Wildside , Vitamix 7500 , or Ninja Ultima , the MultiBlend seems cute and even harmless.

If you want a personal blender that’s portable as well as compact, check out the cordless NutriBullet GO. Put your money where your mouth is with Walmart’s blender steal, coming in at $24.96. Its powerful, stainless steel blades are designed to blend smoothies smoothly every time.

Despite running a slightly beefier 700 peak-watt electric motor, the MultiBlend demonstrated virtually identical almond-crunching prowess as the smaller (and weaker) Stay or Go. After 30 pulses on high speed (Grind/Crush ice mode), the blender reduced my 2 cup sample of whole raw almonds to mostly powder. Letting the engine roar for 15 more pulses (45 total) and I had legitimate almond flour on my hands. Unfortunately, no amount of time or motor pulses could transform my nutty materials into true, creamy almond butter.

Indeed, the appliance only succeeded in slicing through the bottom half of the cheddar, leaving plenty of the block of orange cheese unscathed. There’s no getting around the fact that the Hamilton hamilton blender Beach MultiBlend is not a fearsome slicing and dicing machine. For that you’re much better off springing for a much more powerful blending device from Ninja, Vitamix, or Blendtec.

Frozen beverages, cocktails, or even soups and sauces blend up smoothly in a Hamilton Beach blender. Potent horsepower with expertly designed stainless steel blades ensure a consistent blending of ingredients. As with smoothies, the MultiBlend also ran into trouble tackling our pesto test. Even after a full 45 pulses, the gadget failed to acceptably blend my rough mixture of spinach, garlic, shredded cheese, and olive oil. Only after I called upon the MultiBlend’s bundled mixing spoon tool to churn everything with vigor did I make a satisfying sauce.

Some retailers let you buy this blender with an additional 14-ounce jar. Since this jar is identical to the 14-oz main jar we tested, we don’t expect a difference in performance. If you encounter any other variants of this blender, let us know in the discussion section below so we can update our review.

I measured the MultiBlend’s smoothie mix to have a lower consistency percentage of 87.5 (meaning it was less smooth) after the same 45 pulses. Then there’s the $40 Hamilton Beach MultiBlend Blender, which is remarkably capable despite its low price. Sure, the MultiBlend hamilton beach smoothie blender can’t match the performance of high-octane mixing giants from the likes of Vitamix , Ninja , and Blendtec . Still, if affordable all-purpose blending is what you’re after, then the Multiblend can get the job done, just not with any real speed or style.
