Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Blender and Food Processor 58163: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-12
Summary
The 58163 is a budget 3-in-1 system: a 700 W peak-power blender, a 20 oz travel jar and a 3-cup food processor on one base, sold by Hamilton Beach at $79.99 with free shipping. No independent test has measured this exact model, and the manual’s own limits — a 3-minute run cap, a small processor bowl, preset-only controls — define what it can do. There are no consumables; the only running cost is replacement parts, which Hamilton Beach sells individually.
Common problems and fixes
- 3-minute maximum run time — no accessory or speed setting may run more than 3 minutes, so work in bursts; the food processor should rest about 4 minutes after extended continuous use. [2]
- Food processor is small and restricted — the 3-cup bowl suits small batches, and the manual bars grinding grain, coffee beans or spices, slicing frozen meats, kneading dough and crushing ice. [1][2]
- Preset programs only — 12 blending functions including pulse, but no variable-speed dial, so fine manual control is limited. [1][2]
- No tamper included — thick mixtures like nut butters are hard work; the Wave Action jar-and-blade geometry pulls the mixture down but cannot replace a tamper. [1][2]
- Hot-liquid limits — never use the travel jar for hot liquids; in the 40 oz jar stay at or below the 3-cup (710 ml) level, use an oven mitt and start at the lowest speed. [2]
- Warranty exclusions and shipping — the 3-year US warranty (5 years in Canada) covers defects in materials and workmanship, excludes glass, filters and normal wear, and makes the customer pay return shipping. [3]
Parts and consumables
Replacement intervals are not published, so replace on fault or wear.
- 40 oz glass jar — $17.99; glass is excluded from the warranty, so breakage is an owner cost. [1][3]
- Cutter assembly — $14.99; the stainless steel blades dull with use and should not be soaked. [1][2]
- Collar — $8.99. [1]
- Lid — $9.99. [1]
- Personal (20 oz) jar — $14.99. [1]
- Travel lid — $6.99. [1]
Yearly running cost
Not enough data. There are no consumables, pods or subscriptions — the only ongoing spending is replacement parts when something breaks or wears out, priced individually by Hamilton Beach as listed above. Electricity use is not published; a 700 W peak-power motor run in short cycles contributes little, but no verified yearly figure exists.
When it is a good buy
Hamilton Beach direct lists the 58163 at $79.99 with free shipping (October 2026), which buys three appliances sharing one base, and the 3-year US warranty plus priced replacement parts are above average for the budget blender category. The value case depends on actually using the food processor — if you only blend, a single-purpose budget blender may perform better — and no alternative models were named in the available research, so the choice is this 3-in-1 versus a plain blender, not between models.
