Our Verdict

nutribullet Blender Combo

Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender

The nutribullet Blender Combo is a much better choice than the Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender, especially if you regularly make smoothies. Its larger pitcher gives you more room to prepare drinks for several people, and it produces a much smoother consistency with tough ingredients like kale. It also comes with two personal jars and matching to-go lids. Both support hot blending, though the nutribullet makes smoother purees for soups and sauces. Neither is a good option for crushing ice, as the nutribullet isn't designed for this task and the Hamilton Beach struggles to do it effectively.
