Hamilton Beach 14oz Single-Serve Blender

This little blender is an absolute delight! With its powerful motor it has the ability to puree frozen diced fruit within seconds! I start out with dicing all of my favorite fruits to equal 1 cup, frozen peaches, fresh strawberry, banana, grapes a half cup of yogurt, a half cup of soy milk with or without 2 Tbsp ovaltine. I like its push button start and that it stops when released feature. Within seconds I have a delicious nutritious treat. It's the perfect size. I like it that there are no seals to clean, the container and blades are all in one. The container securely locks into place without having to push down to operate the motor like with other brands and risk damaging what turns the blades. This brand is reasonably priced and works great! I am so happy with my purchase!

It works good and runs well

For the price it packs a punch!

I could get a smoother blend just throwing food up in the air and wildly swinging my arms about while holding a pair of dull forks. If you want to blend chocolate milk and white milk together, this is your machine. If you’re looking to make smoothies from ice or frozen anything, just spend the $20 at a smoothie bar because this thing isn’t cutting it. Literally. If I could go back in time and stop myself from spending this $20, I would. I would also put a note on it warning other people not to buy it. I only gave it one star because zero stars is not an option. Tiny, ineffectual blades. Poor design. 13/10 do not recommend.

If you do not intend on using this blender for anything frozen it may work for you, but it is not strong enough to blend frozen fruit without repeatedly taking it off the mount and shaking it. Because the lid does not screw on and it has a hole in the top to drink out of, this means it will always leak when you do this. Then, because youve put cold things in it, the plastic of the press on lid shrinks and you have to hold a leaky container close to your chest to get enough leverage to remove the lid. I am going to return this and buy a better blender. If you truly can't afford anything else, it will blend with some effort, but if you can afford better I would not waste your time on this.

good product

Blade isn’t strong enough

The blender does not crush regular ice. Soft pellet ice yes, but not the regular ice from a tray or freezer machine. I froze some coffee in an ice tray overnight to make a homemade Frappuccino. I loaded the coffee cubes in the blender with some creamer and syrup, and nothing blended. I shook the machine a few times to see if the ice need to fall down to the bottom by blades, but that didn't help. Unfortunately the return period is long gone, so I might have to wind up throwing it away. I'm guessing this would only work if you are using it to blend frozen fruit for a smoothie.

This Blender sucks. I just tried to blend ricotta and it didn't work.

I needed a personal size blender to make smoothies for my toddler and me to share in order to get him excited about more fruits and veggies. It worked! It blends well and does the job appropriately. I’m surprised it works as well as it does for the price being so low.

The blender is so handy, easy to use and even crushes ice. Perfect!

I love it! It's stronger than it looks!

I bought this to blend frozen fruits/vegetables for smoothies. It does not blend very well at all. Super weak and would get stuck. Maybe it works better for non frozen items. Unfortunately it has been useless for me.

This is my second personal blender! I have one to use at home and one to use when I travel. I give the personal blenders as gifts, also. Thanks for a great product!

The blender is described as a to-go cup as well which doesnt really work. Otherwise, nice blender

Broke so fast, blended with heavy chunks. Super weak, not worth it.

I'm not sure what happened to the quality. I purchased this blender in 2021 and it lasted until last year when the container (not the motor) cracked. I used it so often and would even put frozen fruit in there. so I purchased another one. well within a few months that container cracked. So I purchased another one and tada! it's cracked again. The blending motor itself is great. I guess it's decent considering the price.

Like others have said, it’s ok quality given the price point. I use frozen fruit and it works but I have to stir it several times for it to blend evenly.

Hard to clean where the blade is located.

It’s a cute little blender! I like the fact that it’s simple and i can use the cup to go.
