BLACK+DECKER (BL4000R) XL Blast Drink Machine Reviews

The Black + Decker XL Blast Drink Machine comes with a 650-watt motor, a 72-ounce plastic blender jar with a closeable pour spout and a black sleeve that goes over the jar to absorb condensation. The controls feature four speeds and a pulse button, and as an extra bonus, the removable filler cap in the lid doubles as a two-ounce shot glass. Though it made nicely ground coffee beans and smooth milkshakes and smoothies in our testing, it wasn't able to fully crush a hefty amount of ice for a margarita, which is disappointing considering that this model is intended to be used for blending cocktails. Still, the XL Blast Drink Machine earned perfect ratings for ease of cleaning with all dishwasher safe parts and a totally smooth control pad. Available in red, royal blue, sky blue and green.
