Title: Cheaply made plastic gears at base of blade.
Review: I bought the blender on the Braun name and owned it a bit over a year, the first plastic gear broke off after two weeks, and then another broke off about six months later, today two more gears broke off and rendered the blender useless. Looked into a replacement part, costs about $17 which was half the price I've paid for the whole blender! I'm very disappointed Braun would use such a poorly designed gear which makes the whole unit poor and downgrades the brand. I now am looking at other brand blender to replace this one, not another Braun. I can't believe this gadget only lasted one year. Prior to my Braun I owned an indestructible $10 Sunbeam lasted forever and donated away because it was so 70's looking.
