Hamilton Beach Stay Or Go Blender With Accessories

It’s a very useful household item to use for multiple things.

The Hamilton Beach blender delivers reliable performance for smoothies and simple recipes, making it a budget-friendly choice for everyday blends.

As I have two kitchens I always wanted something small for my pantry type kitchen. Already with many appliances on the deck this one is my fav addition which I was looking for. Be if morning juice or making spread or chutney it does it all. The attachment of 3 jars are quite efficient. Unless you lock the jar the motor won’t start. Lot of thought given to the design. I wish to buy the beach Hamilton someday. Till now I am happy with the smaller one. Great product. Less sound. Perfect for small kitchens. May be big expensive for India but fine if you appreciate the good product n design.

Small and efficient.

Puntos buenos: precio económico, contiene múltiples vasos (4); un vaso de 3/4 de litro,dos de 1/2 ideales para licuado personal y uno de 1/4 para salsas o para picar quesos o especias, incluye diferentes tapas para los vasos. No tienes que batallar para colocar el vaso ya que enbona facilmente ,las aspas y aro se limpian sin contratiempos,y ocupa poco espació.
Puntos malos: La jarra principal no tiene asa y es en ocasiones insuficiente por su tamaño, las aspas de fábrica no tienen filo, solo tiene un botón con dos velocidades ; de pulso y encendido.
Usabilidad: A pesar de que la jarra no tiene asa se manipula fácilmente,los vasos de1/2 litro son increíblemente prácticos, ya que tienen el tamaño ideal al igual que las tapas. La limpieza es fácil por el material súper resistente de que están hechas y considerando las prisas de las mañanas se lleva un 10 en cuanto a practicidad.
En general ideal como licuadora personal ,para parejas o si eres deportista por su sencillez de uso y resistencia.

TL;DR: A decent blender for the money. I’ve used this weekly for the past 4 years to blend smoothies including frozen fruit. It’s finally given in.

Does the trick just fine. Sometimes you have to stop it and use a spoon to mix things around so it doesn’t just blend the bottom without circulating. This isn’t something the $200+ blenders do much better, so that’s alright. Just use more liquid or let your frozen stuff thaw a bit first. It’s a bit loud, but really they all are.
I haven’t found a need for various speed settings, so I actually like that there’s two buttons on this thing.

Now for the video. It started smelling a bit and slowing down (may have been because a collision with a spoon…) so I expected it to be at the end of its life. As a curious engineer, i screwed it open to look inside. It’s extremely simple (has to be for that price, try buying a single 650W DC motor for under $30), so the switch is connected directly to the motor. The motor is a brushed DC motor, which means it has this thing called a ‘commutator’ which wears out over time. Any commutator might spark a little bit which is normal. In my case, the commutator started degrading to the point that it sparked enough to create small flames, causing the burnt rubber smell. I was able to clean it up and get it to run properly again, but that’s just for fun, this guy is not gonna get used again.

If you’re thinking ‘a blender is just a big motor and the more expensive ones are more expensive for no reason’, you’re wrong. There’s different types of motors like the brushless DC motor which are more expensive but have a much longer expected lifetime.

This thing is engineered pretty well, and because it’s so simple, it lasted 4 years of regular use.

Though this product is reflective of its cost, i still expected it to have a little more power when blending. It blends but at times leaves lumps as it does not blend to a puree. Also do not like that there is one blenidng head to serve the bigger container and 2 other cup size containers. Simple and easy to use otherwise.
