Title: very disappointed
Product review: I had only used this blender about 5 times (to make smoothies, mostly using frozen fruit pieces, milk and ice cream). One day as I was making one of my smoothies, I noticed that nothing was happening--I had the power on and could hear it, but my stuff wasn't mixing and chopping. I discovered that the plastic gear mechanism that turns the blade had cracked, therefore the matching gear on the base was just spinning and not turning the blade. AFTER FIVE USES!!!!! Wow--I never expected such lousy craftmanship from Cuisinart.
