Black & Decker BLP14600TB Intelligent Fuse 14-Speed Blender, Black

I've owned this blender for over a year now. 7 days a week, I put in some frozen fruit (bananas, apples, peaches, oranges) and a few cups of milk with some whey protein. In the summer, I add a few extra ice cubes. The blender chops everything perfectly...

I've had this blender for over a year and it still is efficiently crushing up ice and frozen fruit into a very smooth and creamy smoothie. Once I left the blender on a little longer than usual and it turned itself off to prevent overheating. Thus...

It doesn't do anything that's promised in the description. Couldn't even handle cut dried apricots, that's been sitting in water for 2 hours (can you imagine how soft were they?)It says that it can turn chunky fruits, frozen ingredients and even ice...

Sturdy, seems reliable, seems well made.

LOUD!!!!!!!!! Doesn't really work.
