Blender is terrible, returned it without ever using processor. Why bother paying for half a machine? I was so dissapointed by the lack of job the blender did I returned it without ever using the processor part. Blender jar is to wide, then goes in real narrow like small bowl around bottom of blades (but you can't see that in picture because of big thick bulky plastic bottom that screws on heavy glass jar/unit), it would be more of a 'chipper' flinging stuff about on the top parts of the blades without ever really getting down to business. Terrible.

I purchased this product in 2005, and I didn't use it that often, maybe once a month average? I had to replace the blender blade around 2007 because the bottom plastic part under the blade that gets locked into the motor (don't know what you call it) broke. It wasn't too expensive to replace and it works fine after that, but then I don't use it that often so that's not really saying much. I noticed recently (2009) that the food processor makes this really loud ultra-sonic noise when I use it, and it wasn't that loud in the beginning. I think something's wrong with the food processor base that locks into the motor (the black part - it's called the gear box collar) and I will likely replace that too for 20 dollars plus shipping. All in all, you're not getting a quality product if your buy this, because the plastic parts are too weak to handle all the grinding and crushing. If I had to go back I would invest a little bit more to buy a higher quality product.

I have used only the blender and it works fine. It is easy to clean and very functional. I like the product.
