Is the Ovente BLH2604LBL good for crushing ice?

It has an ice-crusher setting and can handle small amounts of ice with liquid. Expect crushed ice for drinks rather than snow-fine texture, and add liquid to keep the blades moving.

Is the pitcher glass or plastic?

The pitcher is glass, which resists scratches and stains. The base is plastic. Glass makes the blender heavier to lift and clean.

How many speeds does it have?

Four speeds plus a pulse function, along with smoothie and puree preset programs.

What comes in the box?

One glass pitcher with lid and the blender base. No travel cup or extra jar is included.

Can it blend frozen fruit for smoothies?

Yes for softer frozen fruit like berries, especially with liquid in the jar. Hard blocks and large ice cubes strain the 550-watt motor.

Is the Ovente BLH2604LBL worth it?

It is worth considering if you want a glass jar and presets for light blending. If you crush ice or blend frozen chunks often, a more powerful blender will hold up better.
