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. As you can see, these Hamilton Blenders aren’t high-performance products. However, it’s good enough for making smoothies, protein shakes and performing basic food processing tasks.
Measuring lines on the front of the durable, BPA free blending jar eliminate any extra measuring cups or guesswork. The filler cap on the blending jar lid is also removable so you can easily add ingredients while blending. The smoothie blender includes a 3 year limited warranty from Hamilton Beach®.

We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. Conclusion I was pretty impressed with this $40 pint-size blender. It was definitely the underdog starting out given that the next closest in price is the $149 KitchenAid. As a result, I didn’t have incredibly high expectations for the Hamilton Beach.
Overall, though, it couldn’t make the transition to almond butter (and neither could the Cuisinart). Since a lot of blenders come with an ice crush setting, this seemed like an important test to conduct. So I tossed ice cubes, ice cubes in water, and bagged ice into the Hamilton Beach for three different measures of ice crushing performance. The user manual suggests crushing cubed ice right after it’s removed from the freezer and to make sure that no pieces are stuck together. This definitely helped the process along, but it still took a lot of pulsing to get the ice to a uniformly crushed state.
It’s quite lightweight yet feels durable, and the fact you can blend and take your smoothie to go all in one cup is very convenient. When making crushed ice, here the blender needed a bit of help. Simply crushing ice on its own wasn’t extremely effective (it got about half of it), but with even the smallest bit of liquid or water added it made it a much easier task.
Blenders that do well for icy drinks also do well for smoothies. Refunds We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not.
