Our Verdict

Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function

Magic Bullet Combo Blender

The Magic Bullet Combo Blender is better than the Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function for most purposes. The Magic Bullet is much sturdier and comes with a 15oz personal jar as well as a 48oz main jar. It's better for processing small batches of fibrous ingredients. The Hamilton Beach is more versatile since it can crush ice and process dry ingredients, but it's not good for more difficult blends like ice or nut butter.
