Why You Can Trust CNET This Hamilton Beach blender creates smoothies made to travel (pictures)
For just $40, the new Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Blender may not be fast, but it sure makes smoothies designed for portability.
Bring lots of parts to the party
This blender comes with lots of ways to mix things up, including two travel jars and a grinding cup.
Small but very capable
The Stay or Go uses a small but conventionally-shaped 32-ounce mixing jar.
Grind or go
You can grind food in either travel jars or grinding cup.
Blend, then hit the road
Pile smoothie ingredients into the travel jar, blend, then go.
Tops made for slurping
These mouth-shaped openings make for quick smoothie slurping.
Tiny blades, weak motor
Sadly, the blade assembly is small and driven by a weak motor.
Simple controls
The simple controls let you pulse or blend continuously.
Batter failure
It didn't manage to mix pancake batter completely.
Tough time with cheddar
Shredding a whole 8-ounce block of cheddar didn't work out too well.
Whip it good
Yes, this blender created some tasty whipped cream.
Almond crunch
Sorry but almond flour, not butter, is what you can create.
The pesto problem
If you're willing to help mix or chop before blending, making pesto is possible.
