Brentwood Select JBS-500BK 500 Watt 10-Speed Countertop Blender with Glass Jar, Black
At a Glance
- What it is: A 500-watt countertop blender with ten speeds, a dedicated pulse button and a graduated glass jar
- Key spec: 42 oz (5.3 cup) BPA-free GLASS jar with a 1 oz fill cap in the lid
- The differentiator: Glass, not plastic - it will not scratch, cloud, stain or hold onto the smell of last week's garlic soup
- Cleaning: The jar, the lid and the removable stainless blade assembly are all dishwasher safe
- Warranty: 1-year manufacturer warranty
- ⚠ Before you buy: The jar is 42 oz - about two smoothies. If you expected a 6-cup family pitcher, this is smaller than that.
Brentwood Select's JBS-500BK is a blender built around a glass jar, and that choice drives everything else. Glass does not scratch when you blend ice, does not cloud after a year of dishwasher cycles, and does not take on the smell of whatever you made last. Behind it: 500 watts, ten speeds, a separate pulse button for the moments you want control, and a stainless blade assembly that unscrews and goes in the dishwasher with everything else.
Key Features
- 42 oz graduated glass jar: BPA-free, marked for measuring, and immune to the scratching and clouding that ruin plastic jars
- 10 speeds plus a dedicated pulse: Pulse is a separate button, not a speed - so you can chop and crush without committing to a full blend
- Removable stainless blade assembly: Unscrews for cleaning, which is the difference between a blender you use and one you avoid
- Dishwasher-safe jar, lid and blade: The three things that touch food all go in the machine
- 1 oz fill cap: Add oil, herbs or ice while the blender is running without wearing the smoothie
- Non-slip base: 500 watts of vibration stays on the counter where you put it
- 1-year manufacturer warranty: Published by Brentwood
Before You Buy
The honest limits, so this arrives as the product you pictured.
- 42 oz is a two-smoothie jar: 5.3 cups is compact for a countertop blender. Perfect for one or two people; too small if you are making pitchers for a family
- 500 watts is entry-level: Brentwood says it will crush ice, and with the pulse button it does. It is not a 1,000W+ machine and it will not make nut butter, or blend frozen fruit into a Vitamix-grade purée
- Glass is heavy and breakable: That is the trade you are making for a jar that stays clear forever. Handle it like glass
- The motor base never goes in the dishwasher: Wipe it only

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Can it crush ice?
Yes. Brentwood specifies ice crushing, and the pulse button is the right tool for it - short bursts rather than a continuous run.
How big is the jar really?
42 ounces, which is 5.3 cups. That is roughly two full smoothies. It is a personal-to-couple blender, not a family pitcher.
Is the jar glass or plastic?
Glass, and BPA-free. It is graduated so you can measure in the jar.
What goes in the dishwasher?
The glass jar, the lid and the removable stainless blade assembly. The motor base does not - wipe it with a damp cloth.
Will it make nut butter?
No. At 500 watts, stick to smoothies, soups, sauces, salsa and frozen drinks. Nut butter needs a much more powerful machine.
Care & Use▼
- Rinse the jar immediately after use - blend warm soapy water for a few seconds, then rinse.
- The jar, lid and blade assembly are dishwasher safe.
- Never immerse the motor base. Wipe it with a damp cloth.
- Do not pour boiling liquid into a cold glass jar.
- Unscrew and dry the blade assembly fully before reassembling.
