Title: SmartStick Fails after one-year
Review: I got a SmartStick as a gift and used it about 15 times in one year. Now neither the blend shaft or chopper lid make a connection with the motor shaft. It just stripes the gears and smells like it is burning. This also happend with my Cuisinart Blender. When all the units worked it was great and I would have recommended them, but it seems as if the longevity of these units is short lived. Hopefully, I just got 2 bad products, but what are the chances of that?
Is this product review negative?
