Buy this blender if you like to replace parts.
»
I have owned this blender for 4 years. In the first few months I had to replace the blade assembly because it broke into pieces while I was making a smoothie. When I called, I was imformed that the blade assembly was recalled, so I got a new blade assembly for free. I had to replace the new blade assembly 2 times since. Just recently I was blending up some cooked beans into a paste and the glass jar broke at the bottom. I just now ordered a new jar, but I ordered the stainless steel one. I hope this one won't break. I had no idea that the blender jar could actually break like that. I thought I would have to drop it on cement for it to break.I really don't use this blender a whole lot, never really did. It really isn't a durable blender. When the motor blows on this one, I will not buy another Black and Decker blender again.

Terrible blender

DO NOT buy it!!!
I used few times when the rubber ring broken while blending a smoothie.
I spent more money on Shipping than the part itself.
Today I tried to use it and did not turn on at all. The motor stoped with no apparently reason.
I can only image the cost to fix it. Not worth!!!

Worst Blender EVER

I can't even describe how bad this blender is. Ice cubes will remain fully in tact. Even tomatoes will not blend. The amount of frustration that this blender caused my girlfriend and I has us considering therapy. I cannot even convey how furious we are that we paid actual money for this thing. In retrospect, I wouldn't even trade Monopoly money for this hunk of garbage.

Build of FAIL

Bought this at a store, where I didn't have the reviews to warn me. Oops!
Lasted about 20 uses, then the plastic gear at the bottom of the glass that connects to the blade stripped while making a smoothie.
The replacement part was about $20 with shipping, so forget it - time to buy a real blender.

Lasted a year and a half...
»
I purchased this blender to make protein smoothies. Worked great for about 6 months, and then sometimes out of the blue, if I left it plugged in it would start running by itself in the middle of the night...very weird. So I just started unplugging it every time I after I used it. Then, after a year and a half, similar to other reviewers, it got a funny smell one day and just quit on me. In my opinion, a year and a half isnt long enough for a $40-50 blender to last...heck, I have had $25 blenders that lasted me 3-4 years before!
