Total POJ- piece of junk.

Pros None
Cons It doesn't work.
Recommended it? No

Got this blender for Christmas. Was excited about it for making frozen drinks. Used it once- worked pretty well. Tried to use it again- it completely stopped working. Called for warranty service. They will send a replacement (costs $5). However, who wants a replacement piece of junk? Read full review »

Freaky Blender

Pros Nice style & price
Cons It broke in 2 days.
Recommended it? No

Great style, great price, great expectations...

Imagine waking up at 3am to the sound of jet engine in the kitchen. Actually it was the 550 watt motor that decided it needed to blend something.

Was the black residue that appeared around the bottom of the pitcher some sort of... Read full review »

Pros powerful motor worked well for smoothies for one year before it died
Cons dead in a year, scalds you with hot soup, loud, heavy
Recommended it? No

*Update* I made frozen drinks tonight and when I tried to turn the crush ice option on again absolutely nothing happened. Totally kaput. A year old and dead as a doornail. What a piece of junk. I will never buy a Black and Decker kitchen appliance again.
I primarily used this for smoothies and... Read full review »

Great Blender

Pros Cuts up frozen fruits easily. Pretty Looking. Easy clean buttons.
Cons First time used it had a electronic burn smell, but it is gone now.
Recommended it? Yes

Solid Frozen Fruit Smoothie Maker for me. I use frozen banana chunks, berries protein powder and fill milk to the top of the frozen fruits and blends it all well. It has a powerful motor so it hasn't failed me yet. I've had it for about 2 months and about 30 smoothies so far.

Danger Will Robinson! Danger! unless your digestive tract can dissolve metal

Pros Looks pretty on the counter... nice stainless brushed chrome finish.
Cons Discounting broken blades, now all it does is look pretty on the counter.
Recommended it? No

Yep....my blades broke too! I was blending a protein shake (16 oz of liquid with 6 ice cubes) and got a nasty surprise as i was drinking it...a mouthful of blade. Just to qualify this..i add oatmeal to my shakes so any lumps or chunks that pour out i wouldn't even notice. Good thing I'm not a... Read full review »

Pros Looks Good
Cons Can burn your house down
Recommended it? No

Stay away from this blender. I woke up one morning to the sound of this thing going off in the kitchen. The thing had turned on by itself and was so hot i'm surprised it didn't burn down the house. Scary. After it happened it no longer worked either. At first i thought maybe this was just an... Read full review »

Decent for Short Term Only

byjamindi Oct 31, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Stylish, thick glass jug
Cons loud, can't crush ice well, poor construction of blade base.
Recommended it? No

I bought this blender in January 2005. While I was disappointed with its inability to crush ice effectively, I was happy with the modern style and it worked well enough for my main use - which is making smoothies. However, recently the blender started leaking inexplicably from the bottom. No amount... Read full review »

Disappointed

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Good motor and nice brushed chrome finish.
Cons Blade cannot handle ice crushing.
Recommended it? No

This was what I thought would be a great blender for the price. It turned out to be a disappointment. I bought it primarily for the high wattage and the neat chrome finish. The first blade stripped within a few uses. The second blade also stripped. You cannot use this blender for crushing ice or... Read full review »

Don't Buy It !

Pros Looks great, feels tough, 550 watt motor.
Cons Used 8 times before it died. NO customer service.
Recommended it? No

I bought this tough-looking blender a little over a year ago. I was notified 6 months ago of a recall involving breaking blades so I called for my free replacement blade mechanism - four times! I finally received my blade replacement last week. Blender died in the middle of making my first smoothie... Read full review »

Terrible waste of money

Pros I like the heavy glass container and the design.
Cons It failed just after the one year warranty.
Recommended it? No

I bought this just over one year ago and have probably used it seven times. While making dip for a party, it just quit. After letting it rest over 24 hours it still would not power on. My husband tried opening it up to see if he could fix it, but most of the components were computerized. He was... Read full review »
