Worked well for 2 years then all the sudden motor quit working. Only used lightly (maybe once every two weeks).Two design flaws:1) the clear cap at the top doesn't seal well and liquid will leak out the top when you first blend something and it splashes at the top.2) The plastic teeth that connect the blade with the motor assemble are brittle and eventually break. After 2 years, 3 of the six were broken off.At least the blender is relatively inexpensive.
