BLACK+DECKER PowerCrush Digital Blender with Quiet Technology, Stainless Steel, BL1300DG-P

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!

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

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.

I love this blender. It blends so well the color and the strudiness are perfect the price was perfect. It blends the ice so well it blends so smooth the speed is great it's nice and quiet it's have a great quality and durable

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