Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker BL1900 5-Speed Blender with 48-Ounce Glass Jar, Brushed Stainless
Customer Review: The blender from hell
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this blender because of the reliable name, and I appreciated the modern, and stainless steel appearance. I used it the first time to make a shake, and it worked reliability enough. The next day, when I went to make a shake again, bottom rubber portion of the blender broke, thus bursting the entire contents all over the kitchen, and making an insane mess. This is indeed the blender from hell. Steer Clear!!! I seem to have really good luck with Oster now. Check out the classic chrome blender by Oster.Customer Review: I guess I got lucky
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading all the terrible reviews, I guess I was lucky and bought the new, improved model. I've had it for a year and use it maybe twice a week for smoothies. However, I bash the ice cubes before adding them. Otherwise, you're asking for trouble.
My problem now is that the plastic screw on bottom, where the blade and rubber ring sit, cracked. If I can find a replacement part, it would be great. I'd hate to have to toss the whole blender out because of a cheap part.
Customer Review: Piece of Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this blender for mixing protein shakes. The plastic part that interfaces the drive shaft with the impeller unit broke after several uses. Customer service at Black and Decker, nor their affiliates, carry the needed replacement part. Now I have a $35.00 paperweight.
When I look back on my past Black and Decker purchases, I have found them, overall, to be substandard in performance and longevity. I usually bought them because of price. I am done with B&D.
Customer Review: a symptom of all that is wrong....
Summary: 1 Stars
so I try to find a replacement blender cup/blade/gasket/cap in one unit. It's impossible. I could buy the individual replacement parts and spend more on parts and shipping than the original total blender. It's ridiculous. If you haven't learned already- before you buy any appliance, first check to see how difficult/easy and expensive/inexpensive it will be to repair or replace parts. Black&Decker is at the bottom of my list. Correction, B&D is off my list.Customer Review: Horrible motor
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this blender because my previous one was almost 25 years old, and while it still worked, it was an eyesore. This blender worked fine for about the first month I had it. I used it maybe once a week to make a smoothie. Then it started dieing on me every once in a while. Within 4 months it was completely dead. And it wasn't as though I was blending anything that required a lot of power, just fruit and yogurt. It was very disappointing.
