Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If I could leave zero stars I would. We purchased this to make Bullet Proof Coffee, and that is all it was used for in the SIX WEEKS we had it in our possession. We used it twice daily for 6 weeks to blend coffee with butter and MCT oil. We blended for a maximum of 60 seconds each time we used it. We never used ice in the machine while we owned it. After ONLY SIX WEEKS, it began leaking at the base where the blade attaches. There was no way for us to tighten anything. For the amount of money we paid for it, this was a HUGE disappointment. "Professional"??? Yeah right!!! This is NOT a professional blender. PROS: It blended our contents quickly and efficiently. Albeit, it was only coffee and butter. OTHER CONS: The carafe is PLASTIC, not glass. I knew this when I ordered it, but I just cannot understand what's so hard about making a blender that is made with glass and metal. I owned an Oster for 20 years and it was awesome until the blade started to leak, and when we replaced it, the "OEM part" cracked within 2 months. They just don't make appliances like they use to 20 years ago. Also, this blender is HUUUUUUGE. It wouldn't even fit under my cabinets, so I had to leave the carafe off and sit it to the side, taking up twice as much of my counter top space. Also, it's VERY loud, but most blenders are. We never had any issues with the blade "flying out at us" like one review we read, you just have to be careful when pouring, which is where the spot comes in handy, or remove the blade to pour your contents. WOULD I PURCHASE IT AGAIN OR RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT? Absolutely NOT. I had the option to exchange it, but if an appliance can show that kind of poor design after only 6 weeks, I don't want anything to do with it. We went back to an Oster... with a glass carafe, and so far it's working great!!!
