The bottom line
Here's what I'd tell a friend
What you should know first
R3 scores this 6.1/10 (Fair). The PowerCrush delivers the basics well: a glass jar and stainless steel blades at one of the lowest prices in the category. The 700W motor handles everyday blending adequately, and the dishwasher-safe jar earns a perfect cleaning score. The main limitations are the unspecified glass type, a 2-year warranty, and missing noise data. At $34.99, the value proposition is strong -- you get glass-jar safety without a premium price.
Go for it if...
Budget is your primary constraint and you want a glass-jar blender with stainless steel blades for under $35
Your blending needs are moderate -- daily smoothies, soft fruit, sauces -- rather than heavy-duty ice crushing or nut butter making
Easy cleanup matters -- the dishwasher-safe glass jar and removable blade assembly make daily cleaning effortless
