Title: Cutting corners in quality
Review: I've had this blender for a couple of years now. When it's new, it's impressive. Looks solid, nice design, glass and steel.Here's the problem:1) If it isn't cranked tight, it leaks. Everywhere. Some people will not be strong enough to crank it tight enough.2) After two years, the 'stainless steel' is flaking off in large amounts.Companies like Breville that have a retail price around $200 for a blender need to make sure their Chinese supply chain isn't cutting corners, which obviously theirs is. Breville can't keep charging Grade A prices for cheap junk from grade C factories. I suspect the rest of their gear is likely of the same quality.Do yourself a favor. Invest in a Kitchenaid http://www.amazon.ca/KitchenAid-KSB565OB-5-Speed-Blender-Glass/dp/B002R59ZQ6 or similar quality unit and look forward to handing it down to your kids 20 years later.Now I have to go buy a new blender. Grumble...
