Overall Verdict
The OBERLY leans into its cordless operation, making it portable, whereas the Hamilton Beach 51101AV promotes a compact, space-saving design. Nonetheless, While these two blenders both position themselves as budget-friendly options, our tests found them underwhelming in performance.
In our smoothie tests, neither blender managed to produce the sought-after rich, ice-cream consistency. The OBERLY, although achieving smoother blends, suffered from extended blending times; the rapid thawing of frozen fruits resulted in watery mixtures. The Hamilton Beach, on the other hand, was hampered by its subpar motor and blade design, leading to chunky blends. Their capabilities also waned in protein shake preparation, ice crushing, and the extraction of leafy greens, with only mediocre results.
