Overall Verdict
The quality of materials and construction of the All-Clad is excellent. The Hamilton Beach 2-speed, on the other hand, is somewhat on the flimsy side. The All-Clad is top heavy and too badly weighted for a comfortable grip. Furthermore, its motor doesn’t accelerate smoothly, which may cause hand fatigue if you are blending more than one batch in the same session. The Hamilton Beach 2-speed is likewise uncomfortable to use, but at least, it is more compact and has a balanced weight.
In terms of performance, neither of them was capable of making mayonnaise, but the All-Clad also fell short to the rival in beating egg whites. For the remaining tests, the All-Clad was far better than the Hamilton Beach 2-speed in pulverizing solid foods like almonds and frozen fruits due to a more powerful motor.
