Title: not worth the price
Review: I had to replace a trusty old $40 blender that finally gave out after 4 years and my fried had just bought one of these and gave it high praises. I was concerned about the similar design to the cheap model - i.e. the little rubber gasket that eventually leads to leaks but we "decided" that certainly since the price was so high the rubber ring would surely be some special kind that would last much longer :-)Anyway long story short, the Breville started leaking within 6 months whereas it took 4 years before I had problems with my cheap model. We managed to get it tightened so hard that now I can't loosen it any more o the whole thing goes in the dish-washer fully assembled. The good news is that it works for now, but I can't wait until it totally breaks so I can replace it. Definitely NOT worth the money.
