Title: Twice bitten!
Review: I have owned two of these hand blenders and both were worthless after only a year. The first, I thought, was because I tried to chop raw carrots in the little chopper bowl. It made a funny sound and never worked again. However, the second one I used only for soft cooked vegetables and fruits (baby food!). Still, it became slower and slower and after only 13 months, it did not work at all. I called, I complained. I would have had to send it back at my cost, and then they would have determined whether or not to replace or refurbish mine. Since the second one met the same fate as the first, I was not really willing to go through this again in another year. I am looking around for a different brand.
