Chefman Cordless vs. Hamilton Beach 2-Speed: How They Rank Up

Overall Verdict

We appreciate the inexpensive price of the Hamilton Beach 2-speed, but a few usability issues and low efficiency kept us from recommending it. The Chefman Cordless presents very few drawbacks and it outperformed the competition in every test, except for beating eggs, so it represents a more appealing choice for a mid-range immersion blender.

Design-wise, the Hamilton Beach 2-speed features a lot of flimsy plastic, which seems a little tight for a blender at this price point. The Chefman Cordless, on the other hand, sports a visually appealing design making for a more expensive and durable feel. It's definitely a notch above what you'd expect.
