Our Verdict

Hamilton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function

Magic Bullet Combo Blender

The Magic Bullet Combo Blender is better than the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function for most uses. The Magic Bullet has a better build quality and comes with a 15oz personal jar as well as a 48oz main jar. There are fewer restrictions on how you use the Hamilton Beach since it can crush ice and process dry ingredients without liquid in the jar, but it's not very good at crushing ice or making nut butter.
