The Hamilton Beach wasn’t able to power through ice cubes, causing the final outcome to come out almost pristine, but this is typical for this type of personal blender. If you want fluffy, snow-like crushed ice or desire to incorporate ice into your smoothies, we recommend considering a higher-powered blender, Hamilton Beach Blenders online discount store such as the NutriBullet. We tested the Hamilton Beach against several low-range personal blenders, but this machine was surprisingly the only one that didn’t pass even a single test. With its weak motor and small blending blade, it failed to blend the foods completely, resulting in grainy, rough mixtures.
It consists of a metal shaft and a plastic mixing end piece. If the shaft is bent or damaged it should be replaced to avoid damaging the unit. Simply use the HSN Return Label within 30 days of receipt to return

After a course of testing, we found the low-powered motor (175 watts) to be insufficient to entirely break down solid ingredients like grains, frozen foods, raw nuts, and dried fruits. If you just want a tool for simple combinations of soft ingredients, this blender is fine for the price. Just be aware that its overall build quality comes substandard in exchange for its low cost.
The Hamilton Beach made great almond flour with no fuss, while the Cuisinart was unable to produce anything but the chunkiest flour with large bits of almonds still intact. So in this case, the Hamilton Beach actually outperformed a $200 model. Overall, though, it couldn’t make the transition to almond butter (and neither could the Cuisinart).
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. Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Blender is perfect for all your favorite recipes.
Jar assembly locks into the blender base and holds the foods and liquids being blended. This jar is made out of clear glass and it is sold individually. Please note lid, collar and a bottom coupling are all sold separately. In our tests, the KOIOS Bullet made a serving of protein shake better than most similarly-priced blenders we’ve tried, including the Hamilton Beach. More impressively, there was no notable difference between its smoothies and those produced by other pricier machines, though the process took a bit more effort. For the price, this is a decent option if you want a nearly-no-fuss machine for simple blends and are willing to put in the physical effort for a thorough process.
