That is essentially the problem, I had one for a month, and it kinda sucks as a blender.

When they commercial says "It can blend wood" ask yourself "Do I drink wood?"

The motor is so powerful, and the blade is so thick that this machine heats whatever you put in it at an alarming rate, put in tap water and fresh fruit and it will be unappetizingly warm when it comes out. This blender requires that one add ice or frozen fruit in order to get a smoothie that is below room temperature, they say you can make soup in it, but you really have to go out of your way to make anything else, it's NOT a feature.

I bought at 40yr old blender for $30 on ebay, it's built like a tank, and it works better as a blender then this monstrosity any day.

Yeah, and it is probably user serviceable, with replaceable brushes and bearings. Love the old stuff. I think things should be built so you only need t buy them once.

It's pretty impressive as a miniature wood-chipper, but yeah... it would be useless for keeping cold things cold. Crushed ice into warm water; thanks.

dgandhi, why did you buy a 40-year-old blender for $30 on eBay?

I had an hand me down blender that had an accident. I went out and bought a consumer grade piece of junk, and was terribly unimpressed relative to what I had before. I worked my way up the new blender hierarchy until I had a blend-tech, which also sucked.

I came to the conclusion that "good blender" was no longer a product being manufactured, and so I ordered a near cousin of my old osterizer blender, that was in near new conditon on ebay for $30. Since I am clearly willing to pay $400 for a good blender I saved $370, and ended up with a better product.

This lead to my new rule of durable goods acquisition: If it doesn't have microchips in it, buy at pre 1980 version on ebay.

I'm boycotting planned obsolescence.
