I don't know what all the fuss is all about I love mine. Much better than my old kitchenaid 5 speed crappy blender.

Purees all the way. It is loud but very powerful. 650watt moter does a great job.

And easy to pour with blender cups spout. No mess when pouring.

This blender is very reasonably priced and looks nice on the counter, but that's about it!
It is extremely loud and does a terrible job of chopping up the ice.
I am returning mine!

In the beginning I thought this blender was a great product; but, my motor died after two years which is a lot shorter than the typical lifespan of a blender motor. I only used it for the normal everyday treats it's designed for. For $20 it's not a terrible price; but, just be mindful that it may not last as long as you may want it to.

Their quality has really gone down hill in the past 10 or so years. I bought this (and several other Black & Decker products) and they were all broken and useless within several weeks. Buyer beware!

Bought this blender for making soup and smoothies.
Doesn't circulate the contents through the blender that well.
Really loud.
And I guess that I was expecting too much from it because the plastic teeth that notch together where the base meets the bottom of the stainless steel plate in the blender cup to make the blades spin, the plastic teeth melted together and started breaking off. Maybe used it a total of 15 times. And the plastic started melting because I was trying to make hummus with canned pre-cooked chick peas. Seriously??? Can't make hummus?
Save your money and buy something that doesn't use plastic teeth to turn the blades.

I never read any reviews before whenever I purchased any products and now I know better. Black and Decker should never make any products! I bought this and was only able to use it a couple of times. First problem was whenever I tried to put the jar in the base, it was hard to do so. And when it blends, it makes such a loud noise. It can be heard outside. I'm not exaggerating! I put up with it because I already purchased it and by the time I used it, it already pass the return date. The worst thing of all, was that even though I was only able to use it a couple of times, that was exactly it, A COUPLE OF TIMES!!! because the motor or whatever died. I was so mad! I threw away the base because it was useless, I kept the jar part and see if I can sell it for the parts. I hate this blender!

This blender is very powerful and crushes ice better than any others that I have seen and/or used. Black & Decker makes sturdy products that hold up thru the years. This blender is made in stainless steel with a glass pitcher so that makes it easier to wash and clean. It looks old-fashioned but it does its job with less noise than other brand name blenders. It had a very reasonable price, too. It has the features that I wanted and needed so I am happy with this product.

We've had this for a little over a year, and it's been a so-so unit. It really doesn't circulate the jar's contents through the blades all that well, but that's not why it's in the trash today. The plastic ring at the bottom of the jar is a hassle. You have to turn the blender jar to lock it on the base, and then turn it the other way when you're done. The problem is that it is very sticky, and not at all intuitive as to how it lines up with the slots on the four posts on the motor unit. And that makes it easy to unscrew the ring from the base, dumping the jar's contents onto the base, counter, floor, ... But that's not why it's in the trash today, either.

This morning was the last straw. I had the jar on the counter. Before I added anything, I made sure that it was properly assembled, gasket in correctly, screwed on tightly (hey, I'm no novice around blenders). I put in the ingredients for a killer protein shake, then added milk, and before I could put the milk back in the fridge, it was spreading from the bottom of the jar all over the counter and everywhere! It wasn't even on the blender yet! The (thin plastic) jar apparently decided that this was a good time to crack from the blade to the handle.

Time to get me an Oster!!

This blender is terrible. It's so loud that it sounds like it's malfunctioning when you use it. It's very difficult to clean, too. We used it for 6 months and can't take it anymore! Save your $30 and apply it to a blender that actually works well.
