Black and Decker BL12475B Crush Master Blender, Black

Comment: I got this blender as a gift. I opened it and put some frozen fruits in it to make a smoothie and plugged it in. Ouch...the blades are'nt moving at all....This blender was dead right out of the box....Black & Decker has its reputation in trouble thanks to this blender....DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK !!

Comment: The name would lead you to believe that this is a powerful tool which can "crush" ice to a blended perfection for your favorite summer cocktail. Not so. The blender works fine for lighter fare such as eggs, fruit, etc. but ice killed mine. The problem is the plastic drive connection that under strain seems to break into a thousand tiny pieces. Also, if you try to find replacement parts at the B&D site, you're directed to a partner site that is less than helpful. I've had great success with their power tools but this thing is craptastic.

Comment: Absolute junk! My husband got this for Christmas and by the end of May it was broken. It has rusted at the bottom of the base where the gears are. Smells like it is burning up when we use it. I was never all that impressed with it to start with. Now it is just another hunk of junk for the land fills. Too bad we did not just keep our old hand-me-down blender that was about 30 years old. (An Oster which just needed rubber seals replace.)

Comment: I used this piece of junk 6 times and on the 7'th it rested - permanently. It just stopped working. No motor blow up, no plastic flying nada - it just died. I expected better because of B&D's reputation with power tools. But this was a total waste of time and money.

Comment: I would never recommend this to a friend...let alone an enemy. Use this a half dozen times and like everyone else said..started making loud noises and low and behold the bottom part of the blade is broken...too cheaply made. Probably made in China like everything else.
