Kitchen Collection By Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender 51160KC

This is very nice and portable blender. Very quick to make morning smoothies for my kids. Easy to wash and easy to keep. Takes very less space and strong to blend all fruits. Only for apples I need to chop small pieces then it blends pretty well. Overall I like it very good price as well.

this blender died on my first use I was just making smoothies for my son and I and it died. very disappointed with the quality.

The worst doesn’t blend well at all.

I love it !

Very good value for good quality product. What makes it a good value is the extra cup and lid. * Another good positive is that it doesn’t require a rubber ring that needs to be pryed out of the bladed component in order to clean it. It did not leak even after opening up a few times to add additional ingredients. * Only negative is that it can’t be put in the dishwasher in the Hot sanitize mode because it will degrade the plastic and lead to breaking. Since I always use that mode on my dishwasher it will require hand washing.

leaks while blending, cannot blend frozen fruits.

Good

De not blend good

I purchased this blender to make daily protein shakes with powder, liquid, frozen fruit, and ice. The blender lasted 10 days. Pros: Small, lightweight and easy to store. The jar is a reasonable size for one protein shake. Cons: Cleaning is more involved than advertised. The blade screw-top must be hand-washed and promptly dried after every use. Blending jars cannot be washed using the sanitize (extra-hot) dishwasher setting. This eliminates some convenience for daily use. The blade screw-top is inserted into internal threads inside the blending jar. If any liquid is on the inside upper walls of the blending jar when you attach the blade screw-top, it will interfere with the seal. My blending jar repeatedly loosened from the blade screw-top and partially unscrewed itself during the blending process which caused leaks. Additionally, you cannot easily stop, open, add ingredients, and resume. Once blending starts, everything coats the inside. If you open it, you must wipe all edges of the blending jar and blade screw-top before resealing or it will leak. Recipes must be correct before you start. The motor struggled with frozen fruit and ice. During the 10th use, it began smelling like burning plastic. I promptly unplugged it per the instruction manual. When I tried again the next day, the blender did not smell but the sound pitch had changed. On the following day, the blender stopped working entirely. This blender may work for thin, liquid-only drinks. It is not useful long-term for frozen ingredients or daily protein shakes. I would not recommend it.

Love this!

Like

I was completely shocked at how powerful this is for the price point. Blends my protein powder + frozen fruit/veg shakes with no lumps or issues. cups are high quality and easy to clean. recommend for sure!

I bought hoping to be able to make smoothies, but the blades could not blend frozen fruit or small ice cubes.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. This product is great and at an amazing price point! If you add enough liquid this blender blends frozen fruit great. I use it daily and run the jar and lid through the dishwasher top rack no problem

Terrible blender

The smoothie I tried to blend was almost impossible. The blades are so small, making it difficult to blend the fruit packets meant for making smoothies. The lid is very cheap, and leaked the contents out of the blender. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Invest in a better blender.

I wanted a compact blender that’s easy to use and clean for simple smoothies, and this one has been perfect, simple, convenient, and just what I needed.

Brand new and doesn't work

Great blender for morning or evening smoothies! Quick clean up and I like the travel cup! Much better than all of the other small personal blender designs.
