I also am disappointed with my B&D ProBlend 5000. In fact, this blender has been recalled because the blades break -- which seems to be a common problem, judging from other reviews. (see details at
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml05/05132.html) You can request a new blade assembly but I've been waiting more than a month for mine. Meanwhile, the recall notice instructs you not to use the blender so all I have right now is an expensive paperweight.
When I could use it, it was loud and took a long time to crush ice. The glass jar can be top-heavy when it's full (the base is narrow... not good for balance) and the rubber lid can be a struggle to remove.
But, on the bright side, it looks pretty.
