Blade Fell Off
I had this blender about five weeks and then the blade fell off. I was using it for smoothies, in which I would include some frozen berries. It worked well for a while, until it didn't. It had a lot of power and chopped up the berries very well and made great smoothies, but the blade attachment design could not sustain repeated impacts with the semi-hard berries. The attachment of the blade to the rotating shaft is pretty poor; the blade is attached to the end of the shaft by inserting the shaft into a hole in the center of the blade and the shaft-end is just crimped.
The company promptly sent me another blending attachment, but I'm reluctant to use it for smoothies with frozen berries and therefore it has little value to me
Update: I used the replacement blade attachment for about two months and the blade fell off of that one also. In summary, the two blade attachments lasted for a total of four months. The Product Support window closed on December 5, 2018, so I guess another replacement isn't possible.
