Title: Good for price
Product review: This blender quickly crushes frozen fruit or ice and mixes incredibly well. I have had mine for a little over six months and use it typically every other day and so far no mechanical problems. However, the blender does have a few caveats. It is very loud. I had problems when I put the frozen fruit or ice in first. I now always put the yogurt or other softer ingredients on the bottom, and I have never had a problem since. When you pour the finished product, you have to pour quickly or it will run down the side. Finally, addressing the gasket problem: My gasket was shredded (the bottom piece was not screwed on tight so the gasket got sucked into the blades - user error). As others have said the shipping for a gasket is ridiculous, so I simply went to Fleet Farm and bought a 2" rubber gasket for some sort of hose for $2. Works great and is far superior to the original gasket.Overall, you are paying $40 for a product that does its one job of blending and mixing incredibly well.
