With its 650-watt motor, the Vitamix 5-speed is an impressive, all-around machine, outperforming the Hamilton Beach 59765 not only in terms of efficiency but also in usability and functionality. Our Vitamix 5-speed performed well in nearly all of the tests, as wasn’t the case with the Hamilton Beach 59765. And thanks to its simple design—and even though its blending shaft is not dishwasher-safe—cleaning up wasn’t particularly difficult either.
The only shortcoming of the Vitamix 5-speed over the lower-priced Hamilton Beach 59765 is its lack of accessories, which seems unreasonable given its high cost.
