I too own this blender, & instantly fell in love with the power & ability to grind large quantities of ice. I new it was too good to be true though. After about a year & a half of ownership, one day my wife & I were making some smoothies when we noticed liquid running all over the counter. First thought was we assembled the gasket wrong after its last cleaning. So after cleaning up the mess, we took it apart, and discovered a very long hairline crack within the base. At least two other reviewers also had this same problem, so I don’t think it was just my bad luck.
To make matters worse, the only place we could find replacement parts was from the manufacturer’s website. The part is only $7.00 dollars, but you have to pay almost another $10.00 to get it shipped. Add tax, and you’re at half the cost of the blender!
My recommendation: Pass on this unit due to a potential defect in the blender base.

Great blender! Very functional, has some trouble crushing ice, but does get the job done!

I purchased this appliance on 4/16/2009, and I might have used it twice or maybe three times at the most. Already the spigot has cracked and the appendage leaks when in use. Needless to say I am disappointed and annoyed with my purchase as I have to now buy another less fragile unit. If your eyes are reading this review, please learn from my experience and take my advice. Please do not buy this appliance.

We gave this product as a gift. The recipient made us malts. They tasted good.

This is the best smoothie maker I have found for the price. I had mine previously about 2 years. It wasn’t used daily but a fair amount. I broke the handle on the nozzle. I don’t remember how I did it, I just did it. Because I feel I got my money’s worth and it was easy to use, I’m getting another one. I would be nice if I could just replace the broken part.
