I have been wanting a new blender for awhile. To be honest, I hadn't shopped for one because I have never truly been happy with one. However, the Black and Decker PowerCrush Digital Quiet Blender is amazing. The blender is super easy to assemble, easy to use, and gives perfect results on whatever I am blending each time. I have made all kinds of soups, smoothies, milkshakes, and etc in this blender. The digital controls are perfect, because they ensure I get a perfect result each time. The blender is also much quieter than other blenders I have used in the past. I would say the noise was cut down more than half. The blender is also easy to clean and to store. I really love that the cord has its on storage sace at the bottom. Overall, I was more than satisfied, and love this product. I highly recommend. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
