Title: Too much to dislike
Product review: I've been limping along with this blender for a few months now. As others have noted, the jar doesn't lock to the base, which is more than annoying--though if I hold it there, it doesn't feel unsafe.That said, while washing dishes today the jar (empty, disassembled) was gently knocked to the floor from the countertop--a distance of no more than 3.5 feet. Something about the way the jar hit the floor made it shatter into three pieces. The handle came completely off, leaving a jagged hole down the side of the plastic jar. I would think you'd need to smash the thing against the floor (or with hammer) for it to break like this. What's the point of plastic otherwise?
