Title: Motor died ... very frustrating.
Review: I had the same problem "leugim ttol" had. After a year and a half of limited use, it died. There was a thick molasses-like substance on the bottom of the pitcher where you stick it into the base. The substance made it so that the base couldn't turn the blades. I fixed it the first time by taking a screw driver and sticking it into the hole in the bottom of the pitcher and spinning it until the substance leaked out even more. I then wiped it all off and was able to get my drink mixed. I went back to it a couple of weeks later and found the same thing. Only this time when I turned on the motor, there was a blue spark and a bad smell. Yep, it burned out. I would say that between me and my roommate, we only used the blender no more than 15 times. And we ALWAYS had liquid in the bottom. I am very disappointed in the product. I spent the extra money and bought Oster because I heard the motors were better than others. Money wasted! Never again!
