Amazon.com: BLACK+DECKER PowerCrush Digital Blender with Quiet Technology, Stainless Steel, BL1300DG-T: Home & Kitchen

I've only used it a few times. It's not loud at all and works fast. I love the pour lid. *I washed it first but guess I wasn't paying attention to the bottom of the pitcher. I poured in my milk and it went everywhere! Make sure that the black piece on bottom of pitcher is on tight. My old blender was over 10 years old so I hope this one lasts as long. *Black & Decker Power Crush

-Bought this blender 2.5 years ago when I moved out-Have used it roughly 2x a day each day for a frozen spinach and banana smoothie 2x a day.-It broke and would not start randomly, however, after around 912.5 uses? I'm fine with that reality.I just bought a new company blender (which was way more expensive) and there's this rubber smell it's emitting when blending certain things. I'm not set if I'm going to return it or not? So I bought this just in case. I cannot be without a smoothie for a day LOL.TLDR: This blender is amazing for the money and does the job. No, it doesn't blend everything down into a fine paste, but honestly it was good enough for me for 2.5 years! I loved it.

Really good price and was like new and worked well

It works well for my protein shakes. Cleans easily. Looks nice on my counter.

It is loud enough to wake up a baby in the next room, it's definitely not the loudest blender, but to call it quiet is an overstatement. The last blender I had I would put on top of a pillow to quiet down because it was incredibly loud, so relative to that this one is almost pleasant to use.It's well built, the blades are safely dull.I add dates as an alternative to sugar, they do not blend well, there are always big pieces.There is gap around the blades on the bottom which food falls into and gets stuck. The blender always has to be taken apart to clean this area. It is a circular gap between the blade holder and the glass.The blender is powerful and blends carrots and whatnot into a puree. The result is still pulpy, but not chunky, except with the dates. It doesn't bubble up so even with less water than needed, it still pulls everything down and blends it. It is much more effective than something $20 cheaper in my experience.It's a well built and effective blender for the typical tasks one would expect a basic blender to do. It's not comparable to any specialized blender that is able to do fancy nut butters or whatever they do. I made the choice to get this and supplement with a food processor. It has some design flaws but still manages to be effective.I use it for hot and cold liquids. It is a glass jar. I never use the weird pour spouts in the lid because they have nooks and crannies to clean, I just take the lid off.The rubber feet are nice because they are not glued on, if they come off you can just put them back on.This blender is powerful.This is slightly better than most blenders, and not in the same class as the more expensive ones. It's just a blender.

It advertised as a quieter blender and it is and made a coffee frappe perfect. I could not believe how quiet it was

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:I am a long time customer of Amazon.I have 2 blenders, one bought from Amazon many years.I purchased this blender because the description indicated it is a silent blender.I received the blender and proceed to use it.THE BLENDER IS NOT SILENT.And the use is not adequate and it has caused spillings of smoothie to my amaze.I saw where it made in China, info not available when purchased.There is a big difference in cost of other quiet blenders. The other are higher in prices.Black and Decker is not provided a good merchandise for Amazon.I hereby request a reimbursement of the cost for inadequate merchandise purchased.Thank you.V/rEfrain R Barrera

Bought this to replace our old blender for making smoothies and protein milkshakes. Omg! What a difference! Blends everything together smoothly and quietly! Love the pour top lid, so you don’t have to take the whole top off to pour. Excellent quality for the price!

Great for making milkshakes - that's mainly what I'm using it for. Powerful motor, but needs a low-speed setting - a variable speed dial would be perfect. When I'm using milk with frozen fruit and veggies (.5-inch pieces) in the supplied plastic drinking glass (not the jar), even the lowest speed sounds and feels like the whole thing is going to explode on the counter. Sounds like the gears are grinding and stripping - like trying to shift a manual transmission without pushing in the clutch. Even with the base and glass tightly screwed together, it somehow leaks and squirts out while blending. Pulsing the frozen ingredients before blending doesn't help much either. I pulse a dozen times but it still vibrates and makes horrible, loud grinding/stripping noises, even after everything is smoothly blended, so it's not the hard, frozen food causing it. The gears and couplers are all plastic and I really believe they're going to crack apart every time I use it, which is every morning. We'll see how long it lasts.I'll do a follow-up review in a few months, if it lasts that long.

Love Love Love this straight out awesome I’m very impressed thank you love me some Black & Decker been using it for years this blender is absolutely phenomenal
