Title: Planned Obsolescence???
Product review: I would like to give this blender no stars but I am not allowed. I expected a Bruan product, which cost $45, to last longer than 5 months.I bought this blender in Dec 07 and it worked great for 5 months. I made numerous smoothies with milk, yogurt, bananas and frozen strawberries. Then one day the blender only had one extremely fast and rough speed. Two uses later, the blender died. The motor turns but the blades do not.I will quote Onur Usmen "turkob" who put this perfectly:"It seems my blender has succumbed to the same fate as many others have listed here: the plastic gears on the motor no longer catch the blade. I don't feel like hassling with sending this in for repairs, so it looks like I'll be buying a different blender. What a disappointment!"In closing let me say I will not be purchasing Braun appliances in the future.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
