We were actually replacing the same model that broke after only minimal use in the first year!! What was I thinking. .well Consumer Reports rated it as #1 !!!After the 2nd day the tooth broke off underneath the blade and it's now broken. .that's the same thing that happened to the first one!!!Now we have two broken PowerMax Jug Blenders!!!! This product shouldn't be allowed on the market let alone recommended by Consumer Reports!!! Now beside returning it to Amazon we'll have to contact Braun :( Don't Buy It!!!!
