This quiet blender stands to its name , making significantly less noise compared to many other blenders in market, I wanted to try less noisy blender and found this Black and Decker one , I am very much impressed with this feature. The 6-tip serrated blade is blending efficiently all types of stuff that I put in , and I can easily watch blending as its glass jar. This blender has 3 functions, these will helpful for smoothies and shakes with frozen fruits like banana, kiwi , strawberry. A good add on in kitchen.
