Buying Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed Electronic Bar Blender, Chrome

Should have returned this when we noticed a burnt plastic smell on first use, but figured it would go away, and frankly, I was just too lazy to take it back to the store.

We hardly used the blender for a couple years, but recently got on a smoothie kick and what do you know, within a month of daily use two of the plastic parts (the bottom of the blade assembly) fused together and locked up the blade altogether. Ahhh, that's why it smelled wretched -- the parts that power the blade are plastic!

The motor itself works well, perhaps too well for the cheap plastic pieces that it powers. So, I could be eco-friendly and just replace that fused part, but why bother when another of the many spinning plastic pieces will surely fail soon anyway?

Please pay attention to the negative reviews here and understand that any positive ones are going to break before long -- it's inevitable with plastic moving parts. This isn't about one bad blender or batch of blenders; the product is a failure. Buy a blender with METAL gears and blade assembly. From the cheapest Oster to the priciest Vita-Mix, everyone else other than Cuisinart has apparently figured out that plastic on plastic equals CRAP!Get more detail about Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed Electronic Bar Blender, Chrome.
