Negative Positive
Title: A disappointment!
Review: Although this blender was highly rated by Consumer Reports, I found it to be sub-standard. First, the nylon gear that powers the blades, found on the bottom of the jug, broke twice, first after about seven uses (smoothies!) and then after about twenty uses (still smoothies!). Braun sent a replacement blade/gear unit free of charge after I phoned and complained when it broke the first time. I decided not to bother after it broke the second time. Second, the motor is somewhat noisy. Third, one of the speeds did not work well. Overall, this is a shoddy piece of equipment.
Is the review positive or negative?
