Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Worst product ever! Do not buy! I use my blender for smoothies, salsa making, general daily kitchen use. The PLASTIC gear (who thought a plastic gear on a high speed blender was a good idea?) on the bottom of the jar wore down after about 3 months and it wasn't catching properly as it blended. First return. Received a second unit. It burned up while making a cream sauce and shut off. Permanently. Second return. Third unit arrived only to have a broken piece of something rattling around inside the motor base. I put it back in the box and am returning it as well. Kitchenaid customer service acts like I'm lying about the motor burning up on unit #2. I've had it for about 2 months. And the return process is killing me! They won't just send a return label via email. I have to wait for the second unit to reach them, call again, get another unit sent out, then return the third unit. At this point they owe me mileage to and from FedEx! DO NOT BUY! Save your pennies and get a high end blender. I have a Vitamix on the way.
