- Is the PowerCrush BL1230SG good for crushing ice?
- Not really. The 350W continuous motor is designed for basic blending, and ice or frozen fruit can strain it. Use the Pulse function in short bursts and add liquid.
- How big is the jar?
- The glass jar holds 6 cups, which suits one or two servings. It is smaller than full-size 8-cup blenders.
- What speeds does it have?
- It has Low and High plus a Pulse button, four functions in total. There are no preset programs.
- Is the jar dishwasher safe?
- The glass jar and removable blade assembly are generally treated as dishwasher safe, but check the manual. Wash the base by hand only.
- Is it worth it over a more powerful blender?
- If you blend smoothies and shakes in small batches, it covers that without the cost of a high-wattage machine. For ice, nut butters or large batches, a higher-wattage blender is the better buy.
- What is the difference between 700W peak and 350W continuous?
- Peak power is the maximum recorded for 100ms during blending; continuous power is what the motor sustains. The 350W continuous figure is the one that matters for tough ingredients.
- Can it make soup or puree?
- It can blend cooked soup and soft purees in the glass jar. It is not a cooking blender, so heat soups separately.
