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. The Hamilton Beach Personal Creations Blender is disappointing for smoothies and protein shakes. It struggles to blend the usual smoothie ingredients, like ice cubes, fruit, and leafy greens.
But, if you do want perfect smoothies every time, the Vitamix, Blendtec, and Breville placed in the top three. Its design simplicity plays directly into its usability. The lid has a spout so you don’t have to remove the whole top when you’re pouring a smoothie (or any other blended thing) into a container. The jar has a sizable handle to make lifting and pouring as manageable as possible.
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 to crush ice cubes. It’s easy to clean and quiet, but not a good choice if you need to serve a crowd.
Like almost all blenders, it can roughly chop the nuts, but after that, it can’t process them any further. Even if you undock the jar and shake it often, it can’t pull the crushed ingredients into a vortex. The result is a powdery mix that can’t be called nut butter. This blender has an unusual design for a personal blender. The blades are fixed in the bottom of the jar instead of attached to a blade assembly that screws onto the jar like a lid. The blades are always attached when you use the jar as a travel cup.
