Hamilton Beach 51103 Single-Serve Blender


Throughout testing, the Hamilton Beach got the job done, but couldn’t produce as smooth of smoothie as the competition. Its blending button feels flimsy and breakable, and I can say from my own experience (my boyfriend owned this exact model) that the motor doesn’t last very long.
