Our Verdict

Hamilton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function

KitchenAid K150

The KitchenAid K150 is better than the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Multi-Function. The KitchenAid is better built and has better performance, especially for tough jobs like crushing ice cubes and making nut butter. It's much quieter when it's running as well.
