Customer Reviews for Performance FusionBlade 64-Oz. Digital Blender - Silver/Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent price vs. performance with this product, easily comparable to a Vitamix in performance at fifth the price.
Pros:
Powerful, blasts through ice and frozen fruit
Auto setting works well
Infrequent air pockets, keeps smoothies swirling

Cons:
Too tall, won't fit under my cabinets
No good grip points for carrying
Too tall, won't fit under my cabinets
No good grip points for carrying
Overview:
My wife and I did extensive comparison shopping between this product the Ninja Professional blender and the vitamix line. We were able to trial the Ninja and Vitamix at our parents, each having one, but ultimately took a chance on the FusionBlade Performance. A month in we made the right choice. We use the blender extensively for making smoothies, 3-5 times a week. The FB Performance kills it at blending ice and frozen fruit (Berries and Bananas mostly). I was skeptical of the auto setting but it really works, when using the auto setting the blender rarely gets a air pocket and stops swirling the smoothie. I've only had to stop once to stir and that was because there wasn't enough liquids. I haven't yet used the personal blend jar. My only gripe is that it is tall and won't fit under my cabinet so I have to store in a cabinet and there are no good grip points so I have to use two hands to move the unit.

Only last a couple months
on April 6, 2019

The blender worked great at first but within a couple months the bearings went out and now the blade gets jammed and liquids leak out immediately , so much to the point I put my protein powder first because the liquid will spill out ! I tried to tighten the nut for the blade but it didn’t help , I Evan went to the existent of adding washers because the blade was so loose I couldn’t Evan blend it fast enough before the liquid spilled out and now greese is mixing with the liquids !!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was a great blender
on September 12, 2018
Posted by: Heffmar

Gender:Male
We bought this blender about a year ago, and it has performed wonderfully.
The only problem we have now, is the large blender jar, the blade won’t turn. Even by hand, it is seized up. I’m guessing bearings have gone, but I don’t know. It seems pretty early for bearings to wear out.

I will be contacting customer service about this.

not good for nut butter
on February 18, 2017
Posted by: Eric
from Canada
Gender:Male
I specifically bought this blender to make almond and cashew butter, even though it blends fine, there's always a pocket of air forming above the blade because of the shape of the container. Because of that I have to stop every 2 second to remove the pocket and cannot above the 2nd speed otherwise the pocket forms instantly. Furthermore the mixture gets really hot since I have to stop all the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My BEST Kitchen Friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a very active hobby cook and food/recipe fashioner and this is my, personal, kitchen fave. I've owned my #BlackAndDecker #PerformanceFusionBlade Blender for about a year and it has its very own personal space on my countertop. Love the aesthetics it adds to my little gourmet kitchen and it works like a charm, each and every time I prep and mix ingredients in it. It still functions and looks like NEW and I use it, countless times, weekly. Make the purchase! You'll never be disappointed. Highly recommend this lovely, high-functioning blender for EVERY kitchen, large, or efficiency~

Verified Purchase:Yes
The FusionBlade Blender takes all the headaches out of blending. My old blender would struggle to puree, often pushing food to the side creating a vortex. The FusionBlade Blender works great every time. I love that it comes with a personal "on-the-go" container. I appreciate the easy clean up and the sleek design. I highly recommend this blender!
