Title: Too loud, broke in less than 2 years
Product review: Like many others here I bought this blender based on the Cooks Illustrated review. The first problem I had was the deafening sound - my ears would actually ring after making a smoothie. I started using earplugs after the first two times, which helped.Otherwise the blender worked great for the first year and a half, then one day I lost the "pulse" option. The dial will rotate, but won't actually engage the motor except on the full-speed blend. I'm really disappointed in this blender and I'm tired of the low quality. I'm finally going to save up and get a vitamix, I think.
