The Black and Decker PowerCrush Digital Quiet Blender is really is a very powerful and quiet machine. I like how easy it is to use with the 3 pre-programmed settings. It   really chops the ice and mixes my smoothies very fast. It is very well made with a glass blender jar. You can also make your smoothies right in the personal jar that comes with the PowerCrush machine.  I am very happy with this product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
