Bought one of these back in August, using it maybe 3 times a week to make smoothies. It worked fine until the plastic teeth that drive the blades wore out about 3 months later, rendering it useless. The design is basically disposable and is not built to last, as the output from the motor to the blades is a plastic ridged sleeve that cannot possibly last with regular use.Oh, and the warranty? Of course you can send it in for a repair or replacement (which likely would take several weeks), but you have to provide $10 to make this happen. Why would I pay more money just to get another worthless product?
