Great blender if you are willing to nurture it
I got this blender because of the B&D name and price. I pretty much use it just for milkshakes. (I made salsa with it this summer too though.) I had intended to make baby food with it but haven't gotten to that point yet. It broke.
I was switching between speeds, nothing out of the ordinary, just pushing one button and then the next one, slowly increasing speed so that the milkshake would keep up inside, when the black spinner on top of the base absolutely blasted into 7 different pieces. Don't worry, it was put together correctly and I wasn't abusing it. Just doing normal use with milk and ice cream. I'm having trouble finding replacement parts. This was a $25 blender. Now this milkshake is going to cost me $25 more to get another blender! I should have taken the family to DQ. It would have been more cost-effective.
Only buy this blender if you're willing to stand beside it and coax it along. It doesn't crush ice well (leaves big chunks), it doesn't blend a...
Waste of money
I bought this blender to just make smoothies. It was probably used one a week and never put back together improperly. The smoothies were okay, but always filled with chuncks of ice no matter how long you blended it (with always enough liquid to keep the smoothies mixing).
It lasted 6 month. The black bottom of the blade cracked (so now the blade won't spin). After searching for a while on the internet, I am unable to find a replacement blade. So even if you are planning on using it rather infrequently, it still wouldn't be worth buying this blender. No matter how cheap it is at the stores.
Blade Gear Stripped too
Parts are not readily available and from the other reviews it
looks like the black PLASTIC gear that engages the blades is
indeed a design flaw, mine also disintegrated and the doesnt
seem to be a replacement part available - bummer!
