Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar vs Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender

The Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar is better than the Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender for most uses. It handles fibrous ingredients much more easily, producing smoother results with less effort. It can also make creamy nut butter, which the Hamilton Beach struggles with. The Black+Decker runs considerably quieter and includes a glass pitcher and a personal blending cup for making drinks to take on the go. While neither is suited to crushing large quantities of ice, the Black+Decker does a better job with smaller batches.
