- Hamilton Beach Portable for Shakes and Smoothies, 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup & Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades, Personal Smoothie, Black (51101AG)

This blender is WONDERFUL! I always wanted a perfect small blender like this. This blender is cute, compact, fits well on my counter and it blends everything I make so smoothly , it makes perfect smoothies! I love that after you blend your drink you can just drink it to go. The cup is great and holds plenty of smoothie or milkshake for you. The top is perfect too with a convenient slide open and shut feature. This blender is small but mighty because it blends so well. I am so satisfied with this product and I wanted to share with others that it is worth every penny it cost. I love this little blender so much ☺️

This is a great product. It's small enough to fit in cabinet. Up to now it is working fine.

The size is just right for a person's milkshake and has a wide range of uses. I use it almost every day. The power is very high when it is used. As long as you don't put too much frozen fruit, it can be broken quickly, and the noise is within the normal range. It's very convenient to clean. Just put it in the dishwasher. The only drawback is that the cup is easy to scratch.

I like this one better than the expensive one I had. It blends the ingredients well. I bought it recently and it works well. If you fill it too much the liquid pops out from the top hole. It is easier to clean because the bottom part does not get any liquid.

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!!

UPDATE: Enough is enough. I thought i could work through the quirks with this blender. Forget it. It's turned out to be a total disaster. When blending anything that foams, such as protein powders, Smoothies etc, you can't even get a full 12 ounces before the whole thing explodes. The lids awful. It leaks severely and get your drink all over the counter top and the base unit to the blender and, YOU. I have to put a towel over the lid to keep fluid from ending up everywhere. The other issue with the lid, if you have weak hands, elderly or arthritis, or an injury to your hand, forget it, you will never get the lid off with out dumping half the drink on the floor. Trying to make sure the lid is secured results in the same issue. This is soooo poorly designed, i should have known better considering the price point. In my original evaluation, I mentioned the short power cord, yeh, its a joke. Way too short, thought i could deal with it, nope. This is not worth it. I have already pulled out my full size blender. ORIGINAL EVALUATION; Purchased for my Protein Shakes and Smoothies. Fair Value. It's a little quirky. THE GOOD: Works as advertised. Delivered quickly, no damage, nicely packaged. As described. Fair Value. It blends just fine and does a decent job when adding "small" ice cubes and frozen veggies or fruits. Easy to store and fits in my upper cabinets when the canister and base are seperated. Lightweight and Easy to use and handle. THE BAD: This is kind of a quirky personal blender. First, when you mount the container on the blender, it's locks in place, however, its counter intuitive. It locks by twisting to the left instead of the right. Every kitchen appliance i have, including full size blenders you twist to the right to lock. It says 16oz, however, you are not going to get a full 16oz of liqued. You will get about 10 to 12oz. Think the capacity should have been a full 16oz or 20 to 24oz. Because of relatively new laws in Europe and the United States, the power cord is way too short!!!!!, this drives me crazy!!!...I believe this one is a newer model upgraded with a better lid, so, it doesn't leak anymore, however, you really need to make sure the lid is fully and completely sealed before you blend or you are going to have a big mess. Also, it has a latch/slide on the lid, make sure its also in the closed position or, again a huge mess. THE UGLY: The only thing I would call ugly, the lid !!!, while it now complelty seals and doesn't leak, you have to use a lot of force to "Seat" the lid, then, when you remove the lid, have fun, it seals so hard, you really have to pull with the edge of your fingers to remove it. Painful!!!! I own many Hamilton Beach kitchen products and im a little surprised this is as quirky as it is. I give it 4 stars because it works as advertised and considering the price point, you can't beat it.

I am getting myself the third one, within ~four years. First from 2012.12, second one 2015.06. Now it's 2017.02. Both time, got burnt motor after frequent/daily usage. First time, the plastic bottle also cracked and started a little leaking. I was pissed off that the motor on my second one burnt off again, lasting even shorter than the first one. But to be fair, I do use it almost every single morning for my green thickie. This Hamilton is definitely not the most powerful. By only crushing small ice-cubes and careful pulse motion with plenty liquid, handled by a very experienced user, the motor burns out every two years or so. Yet I keep coming back. Because it's cheap, does the job, easy to use and to clean. I've tried other two popular blenders from Amazon in the past (Ninja and Epica I believe), but no. At least for my purpose of making green thickie and occasional almond milk, this cheapest Hamilton Beach simply beats all the other cheap blenders so far. I like the design, large mouth for easy pouring-in of oats, liquid. It stands up instead of upside down which makes adding more greens or liquids while operating easier. Once I got the hang of it, it actually never spills, and only takes a rinse to clean. It's part of the reason my breakfast-in-a-rush stays the same thing for almost four years... It does have a burnt-chemical smell, especially when it's new. Mines don't have the smell anymore after several days usage. It does still smell if I venture to press it on hard ice or frozen fruit for too long (which I don't do very often, even though I do love banana-icecream. I can still make them but do have to remember to leave the frozen bananas out for 10min or so before crushing them, and even then, I need to be very patient). In hind sight, I could've gotten those three-year warranty back at the first purchase, probably saves some bucks. But what can I complain?! With $15*2 it has served me four years. That probably amounts to a thousand times usage! One star off for the burnt-chemical smell which I always somehow associate with potential cause of cancer, another for the very weak motor and the plastic build. But I do love it. Wonder how long the third one will last me. I really hope the company is not going further cheaper on the motor quality. That's a long hell of a review

Surprised that it makes my smoothies well. Don't know how long it'll last a little harder to clean with small bottom

Muy funcional y práctica
