Title: Disappointed!
Product review: I received my blender/processor as a gift and I use it occasionally (especially for smoothies and mixed drinks). I was disappointed when the clutch assembly broke! I couldn't believe that Cuisinart doesn't have a durable piece sitting at the motor. I contacted Cuisinart and they said it's not possible to repair on your own--that brass piece needs to be removed by qualified personnel! I'm so glad I ran into these reviews! Anyhow, I compared my blender to my parents' (Oster brand), and they have a much durable design. I'll make sure I inspect any small appliance before I make a purchase! In this case, it was a gift so I can't complain. I'm going to purchase the clutch assembly as recommended by one of the viewers. The Cuisinart name doesn't always equal high quality.
