Title: Have had mine for TWELVE years now, and still works and looks good as new.
Product review: Twelve years and still going strong, full speed ahead! I got it for a Christmas gift when I was in college, back in 1998. I used it almost daily for about the first 2 years, then seldomly for the following 7 years, and then daily for the past 6 months. Yeah, I guess you could say that it's got about 3 years of total "work days". I keep waiting for that day to come when the motor will burn out or something, but that day has not yet come! I've used it almost always just for blending shakes: fruits, oatmeal, ice, etc.It's extremely simple to use. It's just two speeds on one large button, and you just press either the top half of the button for one speed or the bottom half of the button for the other.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
