Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Chunks’

I mostly use my blender to make smoothies (made with ice cubes), and this one does the job very well. My last blender would wouldn’t chop the ice cubes completely, and would leave big chunks of ice in my drink. This one has a powerful motor, and chops up ice cubes completely and very quickly. It has only one speed, but I really only need one. I highly recommend this as a durable, high-quality blender.

I have been using the bullet for 3 weeks now and here is my feedback.

The machine is a great thing and I would definitely buy another if I need to. The recipe book has some simple tryouts and so far all have been deliciously better then expected. I only wish the attachments were made of better quality components. Just because I have one PRO and 5 CONS does not mean the tool is not worth the money and you should not buy it. Like I said, it can do a lot of great things.

Pros: small, very powerful and does what the promos says. I am happy with the thing.

Cons 1) The glasses, cups, and attachments are all made out of the type of plastic that scratches very easily when cleaning with a mild scrubber sponge.

Cons 2) The bottom of the blade attachment uses a rubber gear to engage with the motors spin mechanism. To run the blender the user pushes down on the cup which comes into contact with the gear on the motor. So when the user pushes down too lightly the base motor grinds and burns off the rubber on the underside of the blade. There will be smoke and rubber smell in the air with rubber shavings around. So when you use the bullet make sure you push down with authority so you don’t grind away the engaging rubber on the underside of the blade.

Cons 3) I wish the glasses and attachments were stackable to reduce/space needed to store away all the components.

Cons 4) The inside of the glasses/cups are ribbed/reinforced with a lines of plastic from bottom to top making it hard to just insert a sponge and wash out. Probably the dumbest thing about the bullet.

Cons 5) When ice gets ground in a smoothie there are always good chunks of ice that don’t get ground good enough and get left behind.

My family went a decade without owning a blender before we purchased this, so admittedly we’re not blender experts, but I think I could have picked a better blender blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back. We bought this blender because of the B&D name and because it looked “cool.” I’ve always been a fan of B&D tools, so I figured shelling out $50 would be well worth the investment over the long haul. The classy hot-rod red made the housing very retro and spiffy, and for a year and a half it added some hipness to our kitchen.

Then we finally had occasion to use it. Day 1) Blueberry yogurt smoothie. I had to unplug the blender when the little blue LED flashed, giving it a chance to rest after 10 seconds of hard (ahem) blending of yogurt. The results were tasty, but the blender left a few large chunks of frozen yogurt. Yogurt chunks? Seriously?! That should have been a warning of what was to come. Two more days of pseudo-blended smoothies, and then… Day 4) Pineapple smoothies. After a few seconds the motor stalled and I poked around the bottom, thinking the frozen pineapple may have gotten stuck. Within moments of turning the blender back on, the “factory installed smoke” escaped and the blue LED flashed mockingly at me. *SIGH* My hopes of waking to many mornings of yummy smoothies literally went up in smoke. Heaven forbid what would have happened had I tried using ICE!

Had I read the other reviews of this blender, I never would have wasted my time, or my pineapple and quart of frozen yogurt. What a shame the Black & Decker name fooled so many of us…

I live in a small space and wanted a smaller food processor and a blender and this seemed to be a great solution. In principle it is a really good idea but the manufacturer should have included hearing protection. I use my earplugs when I use this machine. It’s as loud as a skill saw. The blender design is such that there are always chunks in my smoothies. I can’t make a full recipe of meatloaf in the processor.
I’m going to have my old Cusinart DLC-7 repaired and go back to it.

I found this blender listed in Good Housekeeper’s archive for the best blenders. I have to say I completely agree with the rave. It does an awesome job with blending everything together without chunks. Also, the presentation of the blender is very classy as well!

Have no fear with this blender. I recently started incorporating raw food smoothies in to my diet. After burning out 2 standard household blenders in a matter of months, I knew I had to make an investment. Not only does this blender blend together everything that comes within its path, it does so in a matter of seconds - to a pure, even, liquid consistency. I had no idea what I was missing out on. My previous blenders made my smoothies more lumpy and with chunks; unable to process all the ice and frozen fruits and vegetables.

I also made soup! This blender spins so fast, that if left running for a few minutes, heats up water! This appliance is now a staple in my kitchen, from morning veggie smoothies, to hearty soups in the evening, to whipping up ice cream for dessert!

And…. saves me tons of time.

The key feature of this blender compared to its competitors is the AWESOME stirring wand, and access to put items in the mix via a whole in the top lid. This is KEY. No more using celery sticks to swish things around - the wand is super.

Love it! I have no fear when I throw in all kinds of things. It whips all up in a matter of seconds.

My only critique, is that since I started using this machine, my electricity bill went up $30! (I do live in nyc, tho).

I have had several blenders over the years. This Oster has lasted the longest, I’d say I’ve had it for probably 4+ years and it is only starting to show a little wear.
However along with that I would also say that this blender does sometimes have a hard time chewing up chunks of ice. It’s best to put in smaller pieces of ice rather than larger, to make the blending process go more smoothly.
I think for the work that this blender does, it compares to the expensive commercial style blenders for relatively little money.
I gave 4 stars only because sometimes I wish it had more power to grind up the ice!
