BLACK+DECKERBL1400DG-P Quiet Stainless Steel Blender with Cyclone Glass Cup

I got this to replace my previous plastic nutribullet. I figure I have had enough microplastics from using that and was happy to switch to glass. Well so far I love it. Its pretty sturdy and the glass seems strong enough for everyday use. It has a smoothie button you can use which makes it super easy. For smoothies I usually just do 2 cycles of the smoothie button and it blends down everything really smooth even seeds much smoother than nutribullet. Excellent value and would definitely recommend.

LOVE IT!!!We have owned many blenders (Oster and Ninja) over the years. This blender is fabulous. First of all, it is very easy to clean. You don't have to deal with the silicone rings that are breeding grounds for mold (Ninja). Use it, rinse and hand wash, air dry and repeat. The top, as some have said is a bit tight when new. Easy fix - just soak it in very hot water and let air dry. It's a hard plastic so needs time to be broken in. The pouring spouts are great. Blender leaked on first use, but that was my fault as I turned the pitcher to remove from base.. DO NOT DO THAT.. just lift it straight up off the base. The motor is very quiet compared to other blenders. I can make a morning smoothie without waking everyone in the house. Actually, I can make my smoothie the night before, in the pitcher and put it in any container. Milk, yogurt, frozen fruit, and banana hardly separate. If it does it's just 1/4". Shake it up and you're good to go. We've made soup, shakes, smoothies, veg/fruit juice in it. All good. We have weddings coming up this summer and will surely consider this blender to be a gift.

Overall, I love this blender, it works great. I'm please with it. I'm a little disappointed that the personal jar that comes with it is plastic and not glass. I ordered it because I thought the personal jar would have been glass too. Nevertheless, the versatility that comes with this blender makes it a must have.

I love this thing...use it daily to make a pitcher full of iced smoothies. I just use water, usually oatmeal, a couple of scoops of protein powder, a couple of bananas and half pitcher ice. About 30 seconds later it's done...no ice chunks...all smooth and frozen. If I were still a margarita or daiquiri guy, it would do the trick. I've had it about 90 days, and it's just great...much quieter than my last several.

I tried blending up a mixture of cottage cheese, grated cheese and marinara sauce and I wouldn’t, it would blend for a second, then it would just stop cutting the food, the blades where still spinning but nothing was happening. What had to be done was to push the food down into the blades and blend for another second and do the same thing again and again 9 more times for it to blend. After that I tried just blending ice because it has an ice function and I filled up 1/3 of the 48 oz glass cup with ice and hit the ice button. It blended the bottom ice some but not a lot and the rest of the ice that was not touching the blades was flung to the side of the bowl and obviously didn’t blend. This blender needs to babysit because u have to constantly push the food back into the blades.Quiet wise, it was alright, it’s not deafening but could wake a sleeping person.This was a waste of money, would not recommend it

We enjoy making slushy drinks with frozen fruit and ice. This blender works great! Wasn’t crazy about getting the extra bottle with it (don’t need more stuff) but it has become my favorite water bottle. Would definitely recommend this to others.

Our previous blender was so loud that we had to leave the room while using it, and after just a couple of months, the blade mechanism started leaking. This new blender is a game-changer! While it’s still audible, it’s significantly quieter than our last one. We also appreciate its traditional blade system, which comes apart for easy cleaning—unlike our previous all-in-one design. For smoothies, we prefer using the small cup instead of the glass pitcher, and it works perfectly. Overall, we’re thrilled with this purchase!

They call this a quiet blender. In fact, it says quiet in huge writing on the box! But it is the noisiest blender I've ever heard! That is reason enough for me to give it such a low score. Why the heck would they say it's quiet? It's an outright lie.Because it's so noisy, I have to leave the room when I blend things. I have to turn it on the smoothie mode at least twice for it to blend my smoothie thoroughly, and it still leaves a couple of things out.It's very difficult to find a good powerful blender with a glass container. That's the only thing this has going for it.
