About this product
The Black & Decker BL550 is a 10-speed electric blender with a 42 oz glass pitcher, ideal for making smoothies. It features 4 stainless steel blades and a 400-watt motor. Priced at $19.99, this tested unit comes in white and includes the blender only. With 10 settings, it offers versatility for basic blending tasks. The glass pitcher is durable but heavy at 7 lbs. Made in China.
Our take
I picked up the Black & Decker BL550 for under $20, and it's a solid entry-level blender. The glass pitcher feels sturdy, though it's a bit heavy at 7 lbs. With 10 speeds, I can adjust from a gentle stir to a full-on blend, making smoothies and simple sauces easy. The 400-watt motor handles soft fruits and liquids fine, but it struggles with ice or frozen fruit. It's loud and the base can walk on the counter if I don't hold it. For the price, it's a decent tool for occasional use, but don't expect heavy-duty performance.
