Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker BL1900 5-Speed Blender with 48-Ounce Glass Jar, Brushed Stainless
Customer Review: Piece of CRAP!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this blender (B&D BL900) today (2/5/09) because it was on sale at
Target. I took it out of the box, washed the jar, inserted a cup of grapes, half cup of pineapple chunks, an avacado, half cup of water and
some ice. 10 seconds into blending the motor cuts out and an LED on the front of the blender starts blinking - gotta pull out the instruction manual. Oh, it's the "intelligent fuse" feature!! So I unplug the blender for about 5 minutes to let the motor cool, plug it back in and in 10 more seconds it does it again. What a POS!!! You know B&D, you wouldn't need to add this "intelligent fuse" to your blenders if you had intelligent employees to design quality motors. It's back in the box for a return. That's it for me - no more Black & Decker appliances!!!
Customer Review: Piece of Crap

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: SAFETY ISSUES
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this cool looking unit at Lowes. worked great for 6 months - i make 3 protein shakes a week on average. then at 3am one night we are awakened by a loud noise in the kitchen - our blender running on high! i pressed all the buttons to make it stop but it would not, so i unplugged it. used it the next day and it was fine. later that day it turned itself on again though. rather than dig up the paper work on it, pack it up and sent it back i just tossed it, went to Lowes and bought another. 10 months later - same issue with the second blender. looked up B&D online, found out they sold that appliance unit to another firm, called them and explained. to my surprise they said send us the cord and we'll send a new blender. wow. so either they really back their products or i'm not the only one with this issue. anyway, if you buy one i would suggest NEVER putting your hands in it when it is plugged in.Customer Review: Terrible Blender!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to agree with all the posts that state that this blender has a terrible motor. After about three uses, our blender's motor stopped working while the pitcher was on the blender. When the pitcher was off the machine, the motor turned on and off sporadically, and wouldn't stop until we unplugged the blender. Even while the motor was working, the blender couldn't crush ice at all. Don't buy this blender!Customer Review: The best one I had so far

My expensive KitchenAid blender just died, it lasted less than one year, such a disappointment and waist of my money. So, I purchased this one. It works SO MUCH better and stronger than KitchenAid. I am very happy with my purchase.
