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.
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 hamilton beach blender 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.
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.
You can find more powerful personal blenders that are still quite quiet, like the NutriBullet Pro 1000. 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.
