That said, this performance was slightly better than that delivered by the smaller Stay or Go — it managed to shred the bottom edge of our cheddar brick.
The jar has a small 14oz capacity, so it’s only suitable for making one smoothie at once. It also takes a while to blend ingredients, so using it for several batches in a row is inconvenient. It makes a grainy blend with fibrous additions like leafy greens and struggles hamilton beach blender to crush ice cubes. It’s easy to clean and quiet, but not a good choice if you need to serve a crowd. The Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender is a personal blender that doesn’t perform very well. It has a sub-par build quality, so it doesn’t seem very durable, either.
Whether you need a single serve blender for your morning smoothie or a professional mixer for baking a mountain of cupcakes, you’ll find a large selection of brands at Sam’s Club. Frankly I’m surprised by how many home blending machines can’t quite wrap their blades around a mere 2 cups of supermarket bag ice. Thankfully though, where its less powerful little brother, the Stay or Go (650 peak-watts), stumbled at times, the MultiBlend fared better at chopping plain ice cubes. While it took a long series of motor pulses to get there (specifically 45), the gadget did manage to crush plain ice into a pleasingly fine frozen powder. That said, muscular devices such as the Nutri Ninja performed the same crushing with more skill (fewer than 10 pulses).
If you use the jar’s full capacity, it takes nearly five minutes to achieve the best results when blending ingredients like kale. You need to hold the button constantly to blend, which is annoying for such a long blend time, and it doesn’t smoothly process the ingredients. The BlendJet 2 is a better blender than the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender. The BlendJet makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, can crush ice, and has significantly better build quality.
