The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is a full-size blender with a plastic noise dome that goes over the blending jar to help reduce how much noise it makes. With the noise dome on, it's very quiet for a full-size blender. It has 10 speed settings, four blending programs, and has a 32-ounce main jar. Unfortunately, the jar's capacity is small, and it doesn't have a handle.
Our Verdict
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is great for multi-purpose use. The noise dome makes it quiet for a full-size blender, and it has four preset modes and 10 speed settings to suit different recipes. It makes silky smoothies and smooth almond butter. It can produce snow-like crushed ice, although it leaves some unprocessed ice cubes. You can also use it for hot blending; however, you need to follow some specific instructions in the manual, including removing the noise dome, taking out the centerpiece of the lid, using no more than 16 ounces of ingredients at once, and blending at low speeds.
- Makes fantastic smoothies.
- Great build quality.
- Small 32-ounce capacity.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is excellent for smoothies. It makes well-blended single-serve smoothies with stubborn ingredients like leafy greens and easily crushes ice cubes. It's very quiet, which is nice if you like an early-morning smoothie. The jar and lid are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean by hand.

The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is very good for multiple servings of smoothies. It makes a very smooth blend with ingredients like kale and blueberries when you fill the jar to its full capacity. However, it's not the fastest blender and the jar only holds 32 ounces, not enough to serve a crowd with one batch. Still, it's easy to clean, well-built, and very quiet when running.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is good for crushing ice. It's very well-built and makes snow-like ice using its 'ice crush' blending program. However, it performs best if you add a maximum of six ice cubes at once, which is a bit limiting if you're planning to make blended margaritas or slushies.
- Snow-like crushed ice.
- Some unprocessed pieces.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is great for soup. It makes a very smooth blend with tough ingredients like kale or broccoli and won't have an issue with softer cooked ingredients. However, there are specific instructions in the manual for hot blending that are a bit limiting. They recommend adding no more than 16 ounces (2 cups) of hot ingredients to the jar and using a low blending speed to reduce splashes. They also say not to use the noise dome and to remove the center piece of the two-part lid to let steam escape. Since the main jar lacks a handle, you may need an oven mitt to pick it up if you're making something like soup.
- Makes fantastic smoothies.

- 16-ounce capacity for hot ingredients.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is decent for professional use. It's very well-built, has a versatile performance, and is quiet when running with the noise dome on. However, to get the best results when working with tough ingredients like nuts, you may need to remove the noise dome to use the tamper. The main jar's 32-ounce capacity is also small for a full-size blender.
- Great build quality.
- Comes with a noise dome.
- 16-ounce capacity for hot ingredients.
- Small 32-ounce capacity.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Hamilton Beach Professional 1500 Watt Peak Power Quiet blender is a full-size blender with a plastic dome that fits over the blending jar and helps reduce how much noise it makes. Like the NutriBullet Rx and the Vitamix ONE, its main jar has a 32-ounce capacity, which is small for a full-size blender. However, it's much quieter than either of those blenders, and the small jar is fantastic for smoothies.
Check out our lists of the best blenders for crushing ice, the best blenders for smoothies, and the best blenders.
For most purposes, the KitchenAid K400 is better than the Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender. The KitchenAid has a better overall performance, especially for tough tasks like making nut butter. However, true to its name, the Hamilton Beach is much quieter when it's running. It's also easier to clean by hand.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender and the nutribullet Blender Combo have different strengths. The Hamilton Beach is better built, much quieter, and more suitable for crushing ice and making nut butter. However, it has a small 32-ounce capacity for a full-size blender. On the other hand, the nutribullet has a 64-ounce main jar. It's also safe to use for hot blending.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender is better than the Vitamix ONE for most purposes. The Hamilton Beach is quieter, sturdier, and more versatile since it can make nut butter and uniform crushed ice. On the other hand, the Vitamix can process fibrous ingredients like kale in less time, and it makes a smoother blend when you're working with small batches, like for a single-serve smoothie.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender and the Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ have different strengths, and you may prefer either. The Ninja has a much bigger, 72-ounce capacity and makes a smoother blend with hard ingredients like nuts. On the other hand, the Hamilton Beach can hot blend and make a much smoother puree with fibrous ingredients. It's quieter as well, but its 32-ounce capacity is very small for a full-size blender.
