Defect and flaw both mean the same thing: an imperfection, error, something that does not work right, etc.
Blemish = small defect/flaw
Lemon = Something that is unusable due to a defect or flaw.
Drawback is an undesirable feature or unintended consequence. This is different from a defect or flaw in that they both describe features that do not work properly, while drawbacks describe features that work properly but are unwanted.
For instance:
I bought a new phone last week. It worked well at first, but when the battery ran out I could not get it to charge. It turns out my battery was defective. The tech support representative told me that this was a minor blemish, but I replied that it was a serious flaw! "How can I use my phone if I can't charge it?" I asked. "This phone is a lemon!"
Eventually I got it fixed, but now I have to decide whether to update the software. I heard that a drawback of the new software is that it drains the battery faster. After all that I have been through with this battery, can you blame me for being nervous?
