| First blender lasted a couple of weeks. We sent it in and Braun sent out a new one. After a couple of smoothies the second unit had the gears strip and motor smoked.
Avoid this blender, it's cheap and poorly made. We've had this blender for over a year now, still works perfectly. Good sized jug, easy to clean. The jug and top have been in the dishwasher many times, no issue there either. Many people have complained about the three smaller teeth on the gear attached to the bottom of the jug. They broke on mine and I went to the appliance store to get a replacement, no problem. But on further inspection, it turns out that the three small pieces aren't really necessary, it's really only the three big teeth that do the driving. So I'm still using the old gear and it's just fine. Just ignore it when those three little ones break off. I also wish that it didn't have those little holes in the top, but I think that they are there so that hot liquids don't cause the top to blow off. It's not a big deal, once in a while you put a napkin or your hand over it if there is a lot of stuff in the jug. I had a fancy Viking blender, hated it and finally threw it in the garbage. Get this one and if it dies in a few years, get another one just like it! I shopped a long time before buying a blender. I wanted a glass jug and ample power for as little dinero possible. After doing a little research I learned it met the acceptable standard for Cooks and decided to make the buy. It does not disappoint. The key thing I'm learning is to make sure there's enough liquid in the blender to get the fruit churning. Also, I find that adding the ice cubes to the end of the mixture instead of the beginning puts less wear on the blender. Smoothie Fan |
