Question: Could all (or some) of the Hamilton Beach personal blender's cups and bases be used interchangeably? If so, which ones? example: model 51101 & 51108..
Document: I have used ice with this and frozen fruit and grinds well. Although, have had to stop and use a utensil to stir the smoothie so the blender will not stall which it does, but using a lil more liquid between bottom of blender and in the middle of items used in recipe helps..But overall it has worked pretty well for me and am glad of my purchase....NADA!....Purchased end of May and Today is july 24 and my 'nifty' blender DIED!..This is my second personal blender from Hamilton Beach and both couldn't handle frozen fruit smoothies as I previously said..Cheap housing, I believe.
The hamilton Beach 51108 blender is perfect for a quick breakfast smoothie on the go. I would prefer the blades not stay in the container, but it hasn't bothered me too badly.enjoy.
I had the red model and it was outstanding. So easy to make drinks but with smoothies, even better. The blender chopped up nuts, spinach, strawberries, ice, watercress and a breeze to clean. I needed extra jars and Nicole Martinez at Hamilton Beach Customer Care was outstanding. She did not waste my time, she was concise, helpful, has aptitude and very professional. This is a well run Ametican company. GO for it!
This is my second Hamilton Beach single serve blender. The first one was the plastic version and lasted for a good two years. I was ecstatic to find the same blender in stainless steel, though its pricier. These blenders work great, but the only reason I took a star off is that the rotators (I am not sure if that's what they are called, but I am referring to the the part underneath the blade) at the base of the blender could have been designed better.Here's why: the rotators are a like a trap for water and even dried detergent.
The Hamilton Beach blender is incredible! I'm always too lazy to eat fruit even though I do like it. Since I have this blender I have been eating healthier...yogurt, all kinds of fruits (especially frozen), cottage cheese, milk). If you go on line, there are many excellent recipes. It takes maybe 5 minutes to have a healthy lunch or an between snack! It's so well worth the money!
I like to treat myself to whipped low calorie coffee. I use this with Starbucks Sambuca, half and half, and spices every morning for my morning coffee. It's quick, easy to use, compact and you can use the cup to take with you on your morning compute. It's a very ingenious product for my needs. Before purchasing it, I read reviews and did research. Most of the reviews are true. But I trusted Hamilton Beach. It's not a heavy duty blender, but is not advertised as such.
I am beyond happy with the purchase of this Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Single Serve blender. I opened it when I received it last night, washed it out, and dreamed of my first smoothie. I cut strawberries in half, and then sliced a banana, and put them in the freezer. When they were frozen, I took some almond milk and put it into the blender, added the Strawberries & Banana, filled the rest of the blender with crushed ice, and then put the lid on it and hit the pulse button.
I believed the hype on a shopping network and went to a local Mart and bought a Nutri-something. I was ready to toss my old reliable Hamilton Beach, but soon discovered that it does as well if not better, so I returned it and continued using the HB with happy and delicious results every morning. I do not have to cut up my strawberries, walnuts unless I just want to make room for stuffing it to the brim. Little bits fill the voids better than big chunks!
When I brought this I was not sure how usefully it would be but over the past month it has been used most morning to make a shake (for one but it could make enough for two). It's easy to use and clean.
Works great for frozen fruit/yogurt/almond milk smoothies! Works best when there's enough liquid, the pulse button is used in 1 second pulses, and when stubborn users (like I am) realize this is a personal blender and not a food processor.+ + + PROS + + +*Great price! *Steel cup is durable and good insulator for smoothies! *Easy to clean! *Fast shipping by Amazon was nice, too!- - - CON - - -It doesn't make the smoothie for me then wash itself.
Answer: I'm answering my own question. 51101 & 51108's design are totally different so these cannot be used interchangeably. I have the 51101 and a friend has the 51108. We put the cups on to the other bases to find that the size of the cup base and the width of the motor area are different.n
