Title: Plastic drive part designed to break
Product review: I came here after I discovered the cause for my Cuisanart's demise was a cheap plastic, black base drive spinner. The part is not an orderable part. Therefore, when it breaks, you will need to either throw your Cuisanart away or try to ship it to China or whereever they want you to ship it. I chose the throw-away option. This part could not possibly have been designed for any other purpose than to outlast a one-year warranty assuming light-to-moderate usage. Apparently after reading other complaints here, I'm not the only person who has been screwed. I would guess this part is used on most or all Cuisanart blenders. My best advice to Cuisanart users is to use your blender as a decorative item. If you want to use it to blend something, you'll get best results if you use another blender to pre-blend your smoothies, and then you can maybe stir up the drink a little bit in your cuisanart without straining this plastic part.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
