Hamilton Beach 51101AV
Tested Using Methodology v1.0NutriBullet Pro 900W
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
The NutriBullet 900-Watt Pro is by far the most practical personal blender we’ve tested, with good capability and a flawless performance. While its usability is refined enough to earn our praise, its efficiency tested positively, although not off the charts. You definitely won’t go wrong with this blender.
The Hamilton Beach, on the other hand, creates more frustration than pleasure, especially since it is too weak and mediocre for a stable performance. Its overall construction is on the flimsy side, with components mostly made of substandard plastic. The blade assembly isn’t as thoughtfully-designed as the other blenders either.
Conclusively, we don’t think the Hamilton Beach 51101AV is worth your consideration even if you are in the market for a less expensive alternative than the NutriBullet. There are still better options to choose from.
