Summary
A budget 3-in-1 blending system that pairs a 700 W countertop blender with a 20 oz travel jar and a 3-cup food processor, built for buyers who want basic blending and light food processing without buying separate appliances. Check the motor rating before you buy: 700 W is peak power, not a continuous rating, and no independent test has measured what this blender actually does.
Strengths
- Three appliances share one base: full-size blender, personal travel jar and small food processor.
- The 40 oz glass jar handles hot and cold liquids, and jars, lids, bowl and blades all go in the dishwasher.
- Twelve preset programs cover the usual tasks without a learning curve.
- The 3-year US warranty runs longer than most budget blenders.
- Hamilton Beach sells exact-model replacement parts, from the 40 oz glass jar down to the travel lid.
Weaknesses
- 700 W is peak power, not a continuous rating, and no independent test has measured blending performance, noise or motor durability for this exact model.
- The food processor bowl holds 3 cups against the 7-14 cups typical of standalone processors.
- Its manual bars grinding grain, coffee beans and spices, slicing frozen meats, kneading dough and crushing ice.
- Preset programs only; there is no variable-speed dial.
- No tamper is included, so thick mixtures like nut butters are hard work.
- Every blending run stops at 3 minutes, and hot liquids are capped at 3 cups (710 ml).
Verified specifications
| Motor | 700 W peak power. The manual defines peak power as the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation, when crushing ice and frozen fruit demands the most. |
|---|---|
| Main jar | 40 oz glass, designed to withstand temperatures from ice-cold to hot liquids. |
| Travel jar | 20 oz, blends inside the jar and seals with a travel lid. Never for hot liquids. |
| Food processor | 3-cup BPA-free bowl with slicing/shredding and chopping/mixing blades, a built-in chute and a food pusher. |
| Blending programs | 12 presets including pulse. There is no variable-speed dial. |
| Blades | stainless steel. |
| Wave Action System | Hamilton Beach’s name for the jar-and-blade geometry that pulls the mixture down into the blades. |

| Electrical | US 120 V ~ 60 Hz, 3.0 A max. |
| Operating limit | no accessory or speed setting may run more than 3 minutes at a time. |

Blending performance, limits and cleaning
Every performance claim about the 58163 traces back to Hamilton Beach’s own page or manual. RTINGS, Wirecutter, Tom’s Guide, CNET and PCMag publish no instrumented test of this exact model; RTINGS has reviewed 138 blenders without listing it. The manual’s own definition of peak power — the draw during the first seconds of operation — means 700 W describes startup demand under an ice load, not sustained output. Nobody has published measured continuous wattage, torque, noise or blend texture for the 58163, so treat the motor figures as manufacturer claims until someone tests it.
The 3-minute operating cap on any accessory or speed setting is the manual’s hard limit for every mode. Hot-liquid blending stops at the 3-cup (710 ml) level, needs an oven mitt and a start at the lowest speed. The travel jar must never carry hot liquids.
Jars, lids, bowl and blades are dishwasher safe, with two exceptions: no SANI cycle, and never soak the blades. For day-to-day cleaning the manual offers an Easy Clean program: 2 cups (473 ml) of warm water with a drop of liquid dish soap, run on EASYCLEAN for 10 seconds.
The food processor attachment
The processor is the reason some buyers pick the 3-in-1 over a plain blender, and the reason others will not. Three cups suits small batches — chopping an onion, shredding cheese, blitzing salsa — while standalone food processors typically start at 7-14 cups. The manual lists what the attachment must not do: grinding grain, coffee beans or spices, slicing frozen meats, kneading dough or crushing ice. After extended continuous use, it should rest about 4 minutes. Both a slicing/shredding blade and a chopping/mixing blade are in the box, along with the chute and pusher.
Parts, warranty and running costs
Hamilton Beach sells the 58163 direct for $79.99 with free shipping. If something breaks, exact-model parts are available from Hamilton Beach: the 40 oz glass jar is $17.99, the cutter assembly $14.99, the collar $8.99, the lid $9.99, the personal jar $14.99 and the travel lid $6.99. That parts availability is above average for the budget blender category. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years in the US and 5 in Canada, excludes glass, filters and normal wear, and makes the customer pay return shipping. At $79.99 direct, the 58163 asks one budget-blender price for three appliances; whether that is good value depends on how much you will actually use the food processor.
