Our Verdict
Calphalon ActiveSense
Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function
The Calphalon ActiveSense is better than the Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function. The Calphalon has a better build quality and a larger capacity in its main jar. It makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like fruit and kale, which is important for well-blended smoothies. It's also much better for crushing ice. It has automatic blending programs, which you might find more convenient. On the other hand, the Hamilton Beach has a glass jar, and its removable blade assembly makes it much easier to clean.
