Title: So disappointing...
Review: I'm so grateful for the previous reviewers analysis of the problem with this blender. He was kind enough to share what he found after opening up the broken part. It was spot on. It's exactly what we found. Our blender lasted about a year. I used it infrequently and then only to make baby food and smoothies. I often had leaking problems and blamed it on my lack of sleep and general incompetence. One day I smelled burning rubber and the smoothie smelled of smoke. I was flabbergasted. How does a such an expensive, heavy duty and beautifully designed piece of equipment break so easily? The bearings do seem to explain what I witnessed. All that green liquid was also getting into the bearings not just leaking all over my counters. Eventually it heated up the rubber too much, thus the smoking and blades froze up. Now to decide if I should by the newest Breville or the Vitamix.... What say you all?
