Great design, go easy on the motor, though
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I got this for my 17 year old son to make smoothies. He made the most delicious peach smoothie from ice and the Big Train Fruit Tea Smoothie Blast syrup also bought on Amazon. The consistency was smooth and perfect, just like a professional frozen drink. I asked him t...

nice ...with one big flaw
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) Works nicely for mixing up those breakfast protein shakes but the lid started cracking after only 3 months of daily use so when mixing it leaks at that point, I have to try to plug it with my finger to stop it from leaking onto the counter, other then that i'm happy with how easy it is to use and clean.

Horrible!
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I had a lovely little Signature Gourmet personal blender for $20 that I was using practically every day for the past year. When it stopped working I was unable to replace it because it's been recalled.. so I went to WalMart and started shopping around.
There I found this Hamilton Beach single serving blender. It was classy and elegant and looked like it held even more than m...

60-days later, the blender went up in smoke
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I bought this blender early December. Now, in early February, it went up in smoke... literally. I used it about 4-5 times per week during that period. Which means it blended about 40 drinks before the engine gave out and the unit almost caught fire.
The blender is ultra cheap and so is its quality. In the end, you get what you pay for.

3 Week Life
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) Mine lasted for three weeks before it burnt out. I used it twice daily during that time, with mini ice pellets and pre-sliced frozen fruit---which it seemed to handle fine (no burning smell or other signs of overuse). I thought the blender would last me at least a year or so (like my last unit, which I purchased several years ago); but no, dead in less than three weeks. Maybe t...

Awesome and Perfect for Smoothies!!!
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I was looking for an inexpensive small personal blender that was powerful, easy to use, and could blend a perfect smoothie. I did a lot of research and looked into about a dozen other brands including the famed "Magic Bullet". What I found out was that not all personal blenders are made equal. The "Magic Bullet" didn't get very good reviews even though it is by far the most popul...

Motor is not strong at all
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I bought this and tried it out on the first day. I tried to make a smoothy with yogurt, banana, frozen strawberries and small ice cubes. The motor started smoking so I stopped. I finally got the smoothy to blend, but the smoke was crazy. I returned it the next day...

Motor really is cheap
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) Made about 10 smoothies with it and the motor burned out. We were using yogurt and frozen fruit (no ice) and I could smell the burning. It can't take much at all.

Disposable
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I also used this blender every morning to make Green Smoothies away from home. "At this price, it's almost disposable", my friend joked as we sat in line at the local Wal-mart. Against good intuition (poor earth - too many things being disposed of) I bought it and happily used it each day. The morning we got back home after two weeks of daily use, it burned out. :( Bummer, an...

A good investment
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black (Kitchen) I am so glad I bought this little blender. It is exactly what I need for making smoothies. I have a Back to Basics smoothie maker with a pouring spout and that is fine for making smoothies for the whole family, but I also make them daily for myself alone, thus the need for this personal blender.
When I make my smoothies in this little blender, I use 6 to 8 ounces of p...
