The Hamilton Beach Personal Creations 51146V is a corded, one-touch personal blender built around a single jar that detaches as a travel mug. Its exact U.S. page gives a compact 11 × 4.4 × 4.4-inch body and links a model-specific guide, but does not state the jar’s nominal capacity or show a purchase/stock status. Keep it as an identification reference for this exact code rather than treating the similar 51146G as the same rating, volume or live offer.
Image source and model notes
A one-drink routine, not a small family pitcher
The manufacturer describes blending in the jar, removing it from the base and drinking from that same vessel under its travel lid. It also says the cup fits most car cup holders; that is the maker’s general fit claim, not a guarantee for every vehicle. The exact page describes one jar-and-lid setup and does not list a second cup, large pitcher or food-processor bowl. That makes the format most plausible for someone who wants one cold drink and values avoiding a transfer into another cup. A household that prepares several servings at a time should choose a documented pitcher or accept repeat single portions.
Do not read a precise capacity into the product photo or into the broader Personal Creations family. The 51146V page does not publish a nominal ounce capacity, safe-fill line or finished-yield promise. That gap matters: if your finder answer requires at least 14 ounces, a glass jar or a known maximum fill, unknown is not a match. The related 51146G page does state a nominal 14-ounce jar, but that fact is not transferable to 51146V. The page’s BPA-free-in-food-zones claim also does not name the jar’s resin, so choose another model if glass or a specific plastic is essential.
Read the suffix and the linked label together
The 51146V page links Use & Care guide 840339604. Its electrical table lists model 51146 as Type B111 at 120 V, 60 Hz and 175 W, then says listed model numbers may carry suffix letters. That is the direct bridge for 51146V. The same table gives 51146G its own B111 line at 1.75 A; do not convert that sibling’s amp figure into watts or assign it to the V code. Nor should you use the older unsuffixed 51146/B55 review as if it were this package: that separate page has different dimensions and links a different guide. Matching digits alone are not enough to merge those records.
For day-to-day use, the exact product page calls this one-touch blending, while the linked guide describes pressing and holding or pulsing the button until the texture is right. This is a simple manual routine, not a set of numbered speeds or an automatic smoothie cycle. The manual tells you to add at least half a cup of liquid first, and enough to cover the blades, before adding other ingredients. That guidance helps explain why the nominal jar size is not a useful promise of finished drink volume.
Cold drinks and ordinary cleanup only
Hamilton Beach advertises icy drinks, ice-crushing power and frozen-fruit blending. Treat those as manufacturer claims, not independent performance results; neither the page nor the guide establishes an ice-only load or dry-grinding job. The guide explicitly warns against blending hot food or liquid and against chopping hard foods such as cheese, crackers or meat. For soup, hot sauces, nut flour or a true processor task, use a different documented appliance. This model’s single small jar and manual pulse routine are narrow strengths, not a substitute for a multi-speed pitcher blender.
The page says the jar and lid are dishwasher-safe. The linked guide cautions against the dishwasher’s SANI setting, tells you to unplug before cleaning and says not to immerse the base, cord or plug. It also describes a short warm-water-and-soap Pulse rinse. The guide lists a three-year limited U.S. warranty, subject to its terms; it does not make the product’s current sale status clear.
Who should choose another model?
Choose a better-documented 14-ounce personal blender such as the 51146G if a stated one-cup capacity is necessary, while keeping its separate 1.75-amp rating and any current offer attached only to that exact SKU. Choose a pitcher blender when more than one drink is routine. The archived exact 51146 page explicitly says “NO LONGER AVAILABLE,” and its older B55 manual, shorter/wider body and one-year U.S./Canada warranty do not describe 51146V. This 51146V review is an owner-identification reference: the captured maker page provides no Add to Cart, out-of-stock or no-longer-available message, so current sale status remains unverified. Check the label and exact listing before buying; do not rely on a similar suffix or a staged product image to fill in missing package details.
