The Hamilton Beach Personal Creations 51101G is a compact, corded single-serve blender with one nominal 14-ounce blending jar and a travel lid. It is meant for one cold drink at a time: blend in the jar, remove it from the base, and drink from that same vessel. Its appeal is the small footprint and one-button routine, not large-batch capacity or a separate high-speed program panel.

One jar and a short departure routine
The 14-ounce cup is also the blending vessel, so there is no pitcher-to-glass transfer. The product page describes it as BPA-free in food zones and says its measurement marks help portion ingredients; the source does not give a numeric maximum safe fill line. A listed 14-ounce capacity is therefore a vessel size, not a promise that every recipe can safely be filled to the top. One jar is included, so it does not support two different drinks at once or a shared pitcher batch.
This is a counter-top plug-in appliance, not a battery bottle. Its cup travels only after it has been blended and detached from the base. If you need blending away from a power outlet, choose a model whose exact package and rechargeable operation are documented. If you need two servings, a family-size pitcher or a personal set with a second jar is more practical than preparing this small cup repeatedly.
Simple controls, with liquid doing important work
The product page promotes one-touch blending and says the stainless-steel blades have ice-crushing power. The exact linked Use & Care guide lists model 51101, allows letter suffixes after the model, and rates the covered appliance at 120 volts, 60 hertz and 175 watts. It describes pressing and holding ON for about 15 to 30 seconds or using Pulse until the consistency is right. There is no numbered speed selection or automatic cycle in this instruction set; the user supplies the timing.
That control style suits a short smoothie or shake when you are comfortable holding the button and checking texture. The guide says to add one-half to one cup of liquid before other ingredients, enough to cover the blades, and warns against hard foods such as cheese, crackers or meat. It mentions ice and frozen fruit but does not establish an ice-only grinding routine. Treat the advertised ice feature as support for a liquid drink, not as permission to grind dry cubes. Hot liquids are specifically prohibited, so it is not a soup blender.
Small cleanup, specific care limits
The exact product page and linked manual both say the jar and drinking lid are dishwasher-safe, while warning against a Sanitize cycle. The manual directs owners to wipe the base, Pulse switch and cord rather than immerse them. It also describes overload protection and says to unplug the machine and let it cool for about 15 minutes if the motor stops from overheating. That is a reset instruction, not a reason to push through a jam; the guide says to unplug before clearing a stopped mixture and keep hands away from moving blades.
The page lists a three-year limited machine warranty. The linked guide’s model table includes base model 51101 and says suffix letters may follow, which is the basis for connecting the guide to 51101G. It does not establish the exact blade assembly as a separately dishwasher-safe part; if dishwasher-safe blade care is essential, this source set does not confirm it. Nor does it establish an ice-only or dry-grinding mode. These are meaningful limits for a shopper who wants the appliance to do more than a single cold beverage.
Compared with the Go Sport 51143G, the 51101G is the smaller 14-ounce one-button option; the Go Sport lists a 20-ounce Tritan jar and two manual speeds plus Pulse, but its page and manual disagree about dishwasher care for its jar. The 51101AG/BG products are another related 14-ounce family, but their exact pages link a different guide, so do not assume all 51101 prefixes share the same manual facts or electrical rating. Choose the exact model that fits your portion size and routine, and confirm that its included jar and lid match the offer.
Nearby 51101 suffixes: match the exact label
The same 51101 base appears in several exact U.S. listings, but a similar title or color is not a purchase identity. The 51101V page calls its model Personal Creations; 51101RV is titled Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Red; and the 51101BV page uses Personal Blender with Travel Lid. Each page describes one 14-ounce travel jar, a one-touch drink routine and the same listed 12.25 × 3.5 × 3.5-inch footprint. Each directly links Use & Care 840302203, the guide already tied to 51101G. The RV and BV feature lists explicitly mention motor-overload protection and a three-year limited warranty; the V page's shorter feature list does not repeat those bullets. Its linked page/manual context is retained rather than treating that omission as a hardware defect.
These are useful exact-code references for owners and for checking a used listing, not three additional size tiers. The exact 51101V/RV/BV pages had no SKU-specific offer or stock status; only the 51101G listing had a recorded Add to Cart control at its latest exact-page check. That past state is not a promise of current stock, and it does not make a seller's V, RV or BV listing equivalent to G. Color itself is not a blender-selection requirement, but matching the printed suffix matters for a replacement cup, warranty or retailer offer. The images below come from the respective exact manufacturer pages; staged drink contents are not evidence of what a box contains.
The 51101RG is a separate exact red model label, not a purchase offer for 51101G: its U.S. product page lists the same 14-ounce BPA-free travel jar, one-touch use and 12.25 × 3.5 × 3.5-inch footprint, and now says it is no longer available. The RG page links the same red manufacturer image resource shown for RV above. The 51101 base-family guide supports the same cold, liquid-first single-cup routine, but the maker’s unavailable status means this is an identification reference rather than a current buying choice. A listing for another suffix should not be treated as RG stock or as an interchangeable replacement part.
