Hamilton Beach Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup and Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades for Powerful Blending Performance, Black (51101AV)

Powerful blender. Well holy smokes! I was truly skeptical at first. I have been using another name brand(Ninja) for many yrs!Only to have it break, or have black plastic particles in my smoothies! Yuck! All that happening over a two-year….and being replaced 2x in 18 months!Well I can honestly say goodbye to that product! I absolutely love this powerful little blender! The amount of money I spent on the other blender was unbelievable! This blender packs a serious punch! I drink protein shakes2x a day with added frozenfruits and vegetables and this goes through it, like it ain’t nobodies businesses!!Even fits beautifully in my large beverage sleeve as you can see in the photograph!!Another added plus..noobnoxious noise when blending! So much quieter.I’m thinking about getting these as Christmas gifts for my grown children!

It worked well for my protein shakes. I loved this blender. Easy to use to blend my fruit protein smoothies. I used it at least once a day for a little over a year before a piece broke off. Will be getting another one to replace it.

I highly recommend….98% of complaints are user error. The media could not be loaded. 98% of the videos I watched of ppl complaining abt this product were bc they weren’t using it correctly!! I honestly wish I could msg them & tell them that! First thing I saw, they were saying the cup wouldn’t stay in the base to blend. YOU HAVE TO TURN IT & LOCK IT INTO PLACE! There’s a pic of a lock & unlock on the bottom of the cup & u set it in on the unlock & turn it to lock. The 2nd one was saying the lid would just sit on top so liquid would leak out. No, the lid actually fits on very well, maybe a lil too well, & it’s hard to get on. U rly have to work at getting it on but once it’s on, it’s on, & it won’t leak! Then prob the most important one, YOU MUST ADD LIQUID TO BLEND IN THIS MACHINE!!! U can’t just add fruit or vegetables & expect it to blend without adding any liquid. That’s not how this one works. If that’s what ur looking for u need a veg chopper & not this. This is geared towards a smoothie maker! There is a minimum liquid marker at the bottom & u have to add at LEAST this amt of liquid to start with & ur prob going to need more! Also, blend in stages. Don’t cram the whole thing full to the top & again expect it to blend. Here I added almond milk, frozen bananas & blended it & then added the rest of my frozen fruit & MORE LIQUID, blended & ended up stirring some & added more liquid. U may have to stir it up a lil or if ur lid is on tight & correctly while it’s blending, u can tilt it to side to side, front to back, & get ur ingredients moved around. This is also made to pulse the products & run for short periods of time. One review said she ONLY ran hers for 10-15 min & didn’t know why it started smelling funny!! Umm hello! U can’t run this lil thing that long! It’s not made to go for 15min at a time. This is an amazing lil smoothie maker if u use it correctly. This is actually my 2nd one bc I lost my 1st one & had to repurchase another one. Again, don’t use it for anything ur not adding liquids to bc it won’t work. If ur just wanting something to chop fruit & vegetables then get one of those lil choppers for that. This won’t work. If ur looking for something to make smoothies, iced coffe, soups, or anything like that then I highly recommend this!!

This little blender got some power. I’m absolutely in love with this smoothie blender! It’s powerful, quick, and blends everything to a smooth, creamy consistency in seconds. Whether I’m using frozen fruits, greens, or protein powders, it handles everything with ease. The design is sleek and compact, making it perfect for my kitchen counter, and cleaning it is a breeze. I use it every morning for my smoothies, and it’s become an essential part of my routine. If you’re looking for a high-quality blender that performs flawlessly, this is the one! Highly recommend!

Great Little Blender. This is a great blender for a single serve smoothie. Powerful, small, lightweight and super easy to use. It crushes ice quickly and blends great. It’s a bit loud but not obnoxiously so. The only thing I wasn’t impressed with is the portable cup on it. The lid doesn’t stay on very well and the entire thing is a bit cumbersome, especially when placing in a vehicle cup holder. I usually just pour the smoothie into a different cup and go. Clean up is easy and the entire unit is small enough to easily fit inside a cupboard. It’s definitely 4 out of 5 stars for me!

Simple and Effective. This is a great one for super quick protein shakes or smoothies! The two jars are so easy and lightweight and great to clean (in dishwasher, but I find it quick to just wash it under water). The only thing is, you got to keep holding the button to do the blending, but otherwise this is a great tool for quick shakes or smoothies. I put the liquid first and then the protein powder and the fruits/ice and it blends super well. And taking the jar off and taking it on the go while drinking from the jar itself with its ‘slide open’ lid is such a NICE feature! This is for the very busy or very lazy folks who put off healthy eating due to these reasons.

Best mini blender on a budget. The media could not be loaded. These mini blenders are perfect for whipping up quick salad dressings and protein drinks. They’re compact, easy to use, and surprisingly powerful for their size. Blending is smooth and fast, leaving no lumps, making meal prep a breeze. Cleanup is simple too, as most parts are dishwasher-safe. Great for those who love fresh, homemade flavors with minimal effort!
