Title: Didn't last - get a cheaper one!
Review: For $50 I would expect an immersion blender that lasts longer than 6 months. Used for light duty - a handful of times for pureeing soups but mostly for making smoothies - with only frozen fruit, not even ice cubes to break up. When I made my post-workout smoothie today it took me a few minutes to even get it to work then the motor housing was smoking like crazy. Totally annoyed for the money spent. I did use the chopper attachment one time to chop nuts and it was mediocre at best. Will invest in a cheaper model so if it craps out I won't be so mad. My advice is to look elsewhere for your immersion blender needs. I should've listened to the reviews before purchasing - not good sign when there are SO MANY one stars...
