Title: Potential Fire Hazard
Review: The blender works great. It crushes ice better than any other blender I've used. It also mixes my protein powder and milk to a nice, thick, even consistancy. Functionally, I couldn't be happier.The problem is the extremely poor build quality. The gears are plastic. I noticed the black powder coming off from the gears after more than a few seconds of use. The blades don't come off, so cleaning is difficult. Soaking in water over night to clean the blade is not recommended, as the screw that holds the blades togather is NOT stainless steel.But the biggest problem with my unit is that the motor is arcing. I didn't notice this until just after the warranty expired last month (of course!). Although I'm not sure how hot the arc gets, I'm thinking of throwing my blender out before it starts a fire. You should definitely check yours if you have gas oven/stove.
