Blender worked great untill the rubber "teeth" gave out
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Good looks and simple controls.
Cons: Bad design for the blade to motor contact.
The blender worked great for us for 16 months or so. We used it for smoothies 90% of the time. We might have made two a week at the most so I would say it was moderately used at best. The hardest thing we ever blended was frozen banana pieces for our smoothies, never ice.
We started smelling the rubber teeth that connect the upper blades with the motor slowly grinding away. At first it was small pieces that would fall off but once and awhile larger chunks came off. We found that if you pushed down hard on the lid the "teeth" would make better contact. But all it took was a short mater of time and there was no more contact so the blades would not blend warm water. I don't think this is a very good design and in fact I saw today the blender has been discontinued. Too bad because it looks good and had nice simple features.
