Pros Powerful Motor, Blends all items well
Cons Loud!
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Black and Decker BL5000 problend work top blender two months ago, and it is a very consistent performer. It has a monstrous 550 watt motor, with 2 plane dual edge blades. There are five speeds of blending on this unit, and they are puree, whip,mix,grate, and blend. The jar is glass,... Read full review »

Cons the glass jar is a tad heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this B&D blender from Target last Christmas with a Target gift card and have been very happy with the purchase. I have used this everyday making smoothies and milk shakes for the family. The motor delivers a whopping 550 watts of power which purees fruits efficiently. I also use the ice... Read full review »

Bad Buy !

Pros Hummm....can't think of any.
Cons Won't blend, unreliable, non-durable, leaks
Recommended it? No

O.K. dear, let's go ahead and buy a heavy duty blender....hey look, there's a Black & Decker, if they make power drills, they surely can make a good blender. We want something strong and I bet you can't go wrong with a Black & Decker. Wrong.

The first one we bought lasted 2 times. When my... Read full review »

Complete garbage - might as well burn your money

Pros glass jar (not plastic), and most of its materials are recyclable
Cons leaks at the seal; pour design causes irritating drips; doesn't mix thick stuff;...
Recommended it? No

I have owned this blender for 2 years, and it's complete garbage (with the exception of the jar being glass & not plastic). I thought I'd turn in my 60 year old beehive blender (that still rocked, but the man thought it was time to pack it in), and buy a sleek new one. One must admit that the... Read full review »

What a piece of S*%&

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks Good. Works for a while.
Cons Stops working after about 6 pitchers of Daquiris/Smoothies.
Recommended it? No

This thing worked for a while and then just refused to run. Can't find a a reset button. From what I read in the reviews here, I don't think I will waste my time with customer service. I'll just never buy a Black and Decker appliance again (I stopped buying Black and Decker tools years ago since... Read full review »

B&D Big name big piece of Junk

byctaranti Jun 3, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It looked nice until it broke.
Cons recalled, one month use, major problems trying to get a new one that works.
Recommended it? No

I bought this as a Christmas gift for myself. I thought using a Black & Decker product I was in the clear. I never checked or researched this blender for reviews or write-ups.
I bought it from Bed, bath, and beyond for around $40.00. Not too bad since it was such a nice looking blender. Well,... Read full review »

Not recommended

Pros Looks great; large glass jar; powerful motor.
Cons Shoddy construction; no customer service.
Recommended it? No

The BL5000 certainly looks like a serious blender, with its glass jar and stainless finish. Unfortunately, looks can deceive. The blender worked fine for 3 uses, then began to mysteriously leak from the bottom. Tightening the base of the jar didn't help. A closer inspection revealed that the... Read full review »

Worked well the first time

Pros looks nice
Cons not very durable
Recommended it? No

While it looked stylish and seemed like a heavy duty blender for the price it has mysteriously stopped working after the 1st use. The first time it blended great. The second time we plugged it in, pressed the power, and nothing. It has refused to even pretend like it might work again.
I just... Read full review »

Pros customer service good
Cons Poor blade mechanism
Recommended it? No

I used this product primarily for making smoothies. It lasted 2 days the first go round. The blade mechanism stripped. The company sent me a new mechanism promptly. That one lasted 6 weeks. I thawed my frozen fruit in the microwave first this time (what a pain). The THIRD mechanism lasted 2 weeks... Read full review »

A piece of DOO DOO!

byLeanie2 Oct 23, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks good, claims to have ice function, 550 watt motor.
Cons Broke on 2nd use and is a fire hazard, should be recalled.
Recommended it? No

I was excited when I saw this blender in the store saying it was made for ice crushing. It also has a 550 watt motor and a nice chrome finish. I was reluctant to buy because it is a Black and Decker product, but decided to give it a try since they had merged with GE and I hoped that their quality... Read full review »
