Hamilton Beach 51101AV vs Magic Bullet 11 Piece Set Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
In our test, we noticed the Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set was slightly better than the Hamilton Beach 51101AV, but neither really lived up to our expectations. They were simply too weak to handle our recipes, which mostly consisted of hard ingredients like frozen fruits, raw nuts, and leafy veggies.
Both blenders have similar quality and design issues. The motor base is cheaply made; it looks somewhat flimsy and cannot stand steadily while in operation. Their blending cups are also far from satisfactory; they can have problems with leakage, and the glass around the spigot is prone to break if handled roughly.
Nonetheless, if you have to choose between the two, the Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set is absolutely a better value, especially given the fact that this blender comes with slightly higher quality features and more extra accessories.
