Title: Not the bargain that it appears
Product review: I had this product for about 6 months and used it maybe 3 times a month. Despite meticulous cleaning and drying, the unit froze up because of a small amount of liquid seeping in around the blade...Poor design. With much work, hot soapy water and mineral oil for lubrication at seal, the unit worked, but leaked manufacturing oil and would always put oil into the blended liquid. The 2 speed switch is very cheaply made and started to malfunction. The stick blender needed to be scrapped. A much better-designed blender and worth looking into is the KitchenAid 3-Speed Immersion Blender #KHB2351. This has detachable parts for cleaning and has the drive motor and shaft always outside of and above the blended or chopped food. WITH THE ABOVE TOASTMASTER STICK BLENDER, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR - CHEAP.
