For cocktails, smoothies, soups, pasta sauces, baby food, and anything else you can think of blending, the BL450 has the setting to do it. This 10-speed blender stirs, purées, chops, crumbs, blends, beats, liquefies, grates, and whips, plus has a pulse button for quick spurts of speed. Two special functions include an ice-crushing button for perfect margaritas or daiquiris and a Fast Clean button that whirls warm water and detergent around the jar for five minutes to loosen stuck-on food particles. Made of shatterproof plastic, the jar holds 48 ounces of ingredients and has a spout for spill-free pouring. The stainless-steel four-pronged blade breaks up ice and softened fruits and vegetables with no problem and is dishwasher-safe. The jar and the base lock together securely to prevent blending accidents and rubber feet on the base keep it stable on a countertop. Black & Decker covers the BL450 under a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

Summary: Rusted 2006-04-23
Comment: I only used this blender twice. I let it soak overnight to clean it better and the blades were rusted and I had to throw it away. Too bad...

Summary: Black & Decker Crush Master 2006-03-04
Comment: Plastic parts on blender -iie cogs which "join" the Base to the cylinder have started to wear out after less than a year.. Black "specks" are visible when disconnected and the "wheel on the base is "chipped". It has been used every morning to make a "smoothie" - fresh fruit only.
Surely this product should last longer than this !

Summary: Makes a mess every time 2004-12-30
Comment: Even at the lowest setting, with only two cups of liquid and holding down the top hard, the result of turning it on is a counter sprayed with the contents. The liquid basically explodes against the top and, if it's hot, will burn your hand as it squeezes through. It also leaks when you pour.
The only redeeming qualities are the price (...) and that it does otherwise work (i.e. it liquefies, blends, etc.). So if you don't mind cleaning up after it, it's OK.

Comment: This blender was plugged in in my room. It then exploded, and destroyed all of my possessions which cannot be replaced. Do not buy this blender.

Summary: Quickly broke under ordinary use 2004-02-09
Comment: After only a half-dozen uses, the the round white piece that connects the glass pitcher part to the base, called the "jar base," cracked, making a mess and rendering the blender useless.
