It was only after I added about half a cup of water to the hopper along with the ice cubes did I see any real blending action. Plain ice cubes caused this blender trouble. While I definitely saw ice powder in the bottom portion of the blender's 32-ounce jar, the top of the container remained chunky after 15 or even 30 blending pulses. No doubt because it's saddled with a comparatively weak motor, two cups of bag ice stopped the appliance dead in its tracks. I'm sad to report, however, that the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go delivered subpar results on this crucial test. IceĪs far as I'm concerned, crushing ice into a suitable state for frozen drinks is an absolute staple capability for any blender. That said, for a mere $40, the Stay or Go does get the basics done without breaking the budget. It simply doesn't have the reach or slicing ability of larger appliances. Also frustrating is the blender's small blade assembly, which uses short, stubby cutting edges. In any case, the Stay or Go's motor can't match the sheer food-shredding might of pricier products like the $260 Ninja Ultima (1,500 watts, 3,700 to 24,000rpm) or $529 Vitamix 7500 (1,400 watts, 37,000rpm). Without more specific details to frame this spec such as rpm, I can't say how that translates to blending power. Sure, the company claims the appliance has a motor that delivers 650 watts of peak power. An excellent value for a pretty simple to use, well working, device like this one.Even with Hamilton Beach doing its best to brag up the Stay or Go's blending chops, it was immediately clear to me that this mix maker is underpowered. The Freshvac pump, using a smart screen blender duo, is strong enough to blend any concoction into a single serve cup. The Hamilton Beach Personal Blender is perfect for making smoothies, ice cream, frozen drinks, and even crushing ice. No reason to worry about paying too much for this blender.
