MY REVIEW

Price: 10/10 $11.44 @ Wal-Mart

Power: 8/10 Probably not the most powerful little blender on the market. It does get the job done however. It'll blend your shake and crush ice with no issue.

Ease of use: 10/10 Plug it in and hit the blend button. The cup locks into place fairly easily as well. Can't really screw this one up.

Durability: 9/10 The container is made of plastic and the motor doesn't have any major horsepower, but if you're just using it to blend your shakes or any other drinks it works quite well. Especially considering what I paid for it. I have used mine at least 3 times a day since mid August and still have never had any problems with it. My brother even used it to make Margaritas recently and he said they came out perfect.

Overall: At less than $12, this blender is an absolute bargain. It's not made from titanium and thick glass, but as long as you're not tossing it around it will last quite a while. If you're like me you probably wouldn't use this for anything more than protein shakes, so with that in mind, the motor and blades do their job pretty well. 3 months and I have not had a single problem with mine. It's not a Magic Bullet, but for the price it simply can't be beat. 10/10

For the price you can't beat it.....where I live, the magic bullet is around 60$...My hammy beach blender finally gave in after a year of constant use (leaking around the bottom)...I find it chops ice and anything else far better than other blenders I've used.

I love my magic bullet for ease of clean up, would love to hear how these compare

I have both. My magic bullet has gotten really noisy so I don't use it anymore. My hamilton is still running smoothly and when it craps out I'll buy a new one. The magic bullet is a little easier to clean though.
