Hamilton Beach 51101 Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid

After reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I thought that this would be a wonderful device for my wife’s breakfast smoothies. Perhaps it is.
But the unit arrived DOA!
Asking Amazon for a replacement. If the next unit has the same problem, it will be time for a nasty phone call to Hamilton Beach!

I waited forever for this blender and when it finally arrived, it was dingy looking. I already sanitize new items, but this thing had to be scrubbed and scolded. I didn’t think I should have had to do all of that thorough cleaning, but it works well, nice and cute, and I’m enjoying the smoothies I’m creating.

Thought this would be good for making my protein shakes. However, I soon found out that this thing cant even blend ice. You get what you pay for. I’m not sure what the other reviewers are talking about — this thing is a piece of garbage.

The price for shipping this item is more than the item itself, a little over $19. Find it in a Target store near you unless you are truly desparate!!!!

It’s good for what it does: blends liquids and semi liquids.
Will not use it to chop anything, much less crush ice.
