Overview
Gym bags, office desks and commutes are where the Hamilton Beach 51180 is meant to travel. A rechargeable battery drives the stainless steel blades inside a shatterproof plastic jar, and a sip-through lid with a handle turns that jar into the cup.
Blending and drinking from one leakproof jar removes the cleanup of a full-size blender and makes a post-workout shake portable. A single speed and a small motor mean thick or icy recipes are likely to strain it, and runtime per charge goes unstated.
Who it's for
Commuters and gym regulars who drink one shake at a time get a blender that travels in a bag and charges from a USB cord. Families making several servings or crushing ice for frozen drinks need a full-size countertop blender instead.
Pros and cons
- Cordless, charges from a USB cord
- Blends and serves from one jar
- Leakproof lid with carry handle
- Shatterproof plastic jar for travel
- Only one blending speed
- Small motor for icy or thick blends
- Battery runtime not listed
- Plastic body and jar, no glass option
Performance notes
Results hinge on how much liquid is in the jar, because a small battery motor at a single speed relies on liquid to pull ingredients into the blades. Powders and soft fruit blend more evenly than ice or frozen chunks, and a full charge before heading out matters more than any setting.

It runs on a battery and recharges with the included USB cord. The listing does not give charge time or blends per charge.
Is the jar on the Hamilton Beach 51180 glass?
No. The jar is plastic and described as shatterproof, which suits carrying it in a bag.

Yes. The 16 oz travel jar comes with a sip-through travel lid with a handle, listed as leakproof.
