I got this for xmas and after using it a few times on things like salad dressing and soup the metal shaft fell out of the plastic housing. It can't be fixed. I suppose I could super glue it but I'd rather not have glue in my food. Also did anyone notice on the plastic housing where it has directional arrows showing which way to tighten and loosen are backwards!! Very frustrating. This is a piece of junk. I also got an Oster electric cheese grater for xmas and that's a piece of crap too!

Thank goodness I didn't return the blender after reading all these reviews. It was sitting repacked waiting to be sent back when I had to use it in an emergency to puree baby food. It did an excellent job and that in under seconds! Another 2 seconds (I'm not even exagerrating) and the shaft and blade were clean and drying. I can customize the texture just be lifting the blade in and out of the food bowl. I think it's good for cooked foods and liquids (like soups/fruitshakes w/o ice) but yeah, I wouldn't use it to liquify ice ever. Even some good blenders do a poor job at crushing ice. It's not as loud/noisy as my Oster blender 12-speed (that I love! But its jar chipped during washing and I'm waiting for a replacement jar). Perfect for quick blending. I highly recommend it!
