Title: stopped working after low usage
Product review: I received this blender as a gift 3 or 4 years ago. I use it once every few months to make fruit smoothies. I always pre-crush the ice before inserting it into the blender just to try to extend the blender's life. Yesterday, when I tried to blend some very ripe papaya in the blender, the blades just wouldn't turn! I made sure that everything was assembled correctly, and made sure that the base was turning when the jar was not in place. I verified that I could manually turn the blades in the jar by twisting the attachment under the jar just as the base motor would have done. The problem, I eventually discovered, was that the base and the jar were not mating properly! The star-shaped rubber thing that turns on the base had shrunken so that it could spin freely without turning the blades in the jar! I checked my warranty only to find that it had expired only one year after purchase! Spend your money on a better brand.
