Our Verdict

Calphalon ActiveSense

Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar

The Calphalon ActiveSense is better than the Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar for most uses. The Calphalon has a bigger capacity in its main jar. It's much better for crushing ice and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients for recipes like smoothies and soups. It has more options for automatic blending. However, the Black+Decker is significantly quieter and easier to clean by hand. It comes with a main jar made of glass, which is less prone to scratches and discoloration than plastic.
