Our Verdict
Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function
Brentwood 12-Speed Pulse Blender with Glass Jar
The Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function is better than the Brentwood 12-Speed Pulse Blender with Glass Jar. The Hamilton Beach makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, and you can use it to crush ice or make nut butter, although it's not very good for that. You can also use it to hot blend. The Brentwood is quieter when it's running, though.
