I BOUGHT THIS BLENDER BECAUSE THE BUTTONS WERE FLUSH AND EASY TO CLEAN. THE FIRST TIME I USED IT TO BLEND  SOUP.THE LIQUID FORCED THE TOP OFF AND FLEW ALL AROUND THE KITCHEN. BIG MESS. EVEN WHEN I PUT A DISH TOWEL OVER THE THE TOP COVER LIQUID CAME OUT...

I purchased this blender thinking the name, "Black and Decker" should say it all. It said a lot it just was not positive. The jar cracked, the blender base came apart, there were metal shavings everywhere and ice barely crushed. I thought the red was...

The threads on the blade assembly became stripped during the fourth or fifth time at making virgin daiquiris. We literally saw metal shavings on our counter and around the base of the pitcher. Did we use too big ice cubes? I don't know, they came out...

This is a lousy blender.
