Black & Decker Stainless Steel Blender - Red (BL1900R)

   The scary part is to find the blender running unattended without anyone turning it on. We've owned this blender for perhaps two years, using it for a variety of food and drink preparation purposes, but not for crushing ice. Two weeks ago I was home alone and came downstairs to open the door for my wife, only to hear a loud whirring sound in the kitchen. Went in and found the blender running. I was unable to turn it off. The buttons were non-responsive. I had to unplug it to get to stop. The jar was tilted and the jar blade holder had ground itself into small pieces. Eventually this was going to lead to a fire. All I could think about was how close we may have come to our house burning down had we been away. It is outrageous that such a dangerous product is allowed to remain on the market.

   Bought at Sam's club worked great for less than a year, then it stopped working in the middle of my work. I checked around online almost everyone complained about the same problem. Will never buy black & decker blender ever again.

   This blender is below average. It frequently overheats with only moderate use. The black ring has cracked, rendering it useless. I'm contemplating buying another brand rather than invest in replacement parts for this lame product.
