The Hamilton Beach Personal Creations Blender offers convenience for small smoothies and shakes but falls short in durability, hot blending, tough ingredients, and multiple servings. It’s suitable for basic single-serve needs but lacks versatility for more demanding tasks.

The Snapshot

our Verdict

The Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender excels in terms of convenience with its dishwasher-safe components but falls short with its overall sub-par build quality. This personal blender gives you a 175-Watt motor that offers average power but struggles with fibrous ingredients like kale. The blender performs well with single-serve milkshakes and fruit smoothies, though. However, it cannot hot blend. Fortunately, the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve blender is very affordable. It also offers a compact and slender shape, making it an excellent choice for blending while camping or in a dorm room. During noise testing, the appliance only produced around 84 dB of noise, which…

The blender performs well with single-serve milkshakes and fruit smoothies, though. However, it cannot hot blend. Fortunately, the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve blender is very affordable.

It also offers a compact and slender shape, making it an excellent choice for blending while camping or in a dorm room. During noise testing, the appliance only produced around 84 dB of noise, which is on the higher end of average blender noise ratings.

All in all, if you need an affordable blender, this is a good choice. If you need something with more versatility, consider other options.

What Is Not On the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

The Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender is a 2017-model entry-level personal blender that offers a portable 14-oz pitcher with a to-go lid. This device runs on a rather weak 175W motor that unfortunately doesn’t offer adequate power for processing most ingredients perfectly.

Users who travel regularly will be pleased by its remarkably portable design. It has a slightly below-average 84.8 dB maximum noise level and it features a dishwasher-safe jar and sharp four-arm blade, which support hassle-free washing by hand or in a dishwasher.

However, this blender doesn’t come with a secondary pitcher. Continue reading our review below, and check out our Hamilton Beach 58149 Blender and Chopper review if you need a device with a food chopper.
