Negative Positive
Title: Works great...for a while.
Review: First off, I will say this is one of the few I've owned whose motor lasted. Nice job, villaware.The reason it only gets one star is simple. The nut holding the lateral cog (this cog spins the blade assembly in the container) to the motor arbor stripped on mine after about 3 years. For some reason, this .03 cent part - unavailable at home centers or from their customer service department - has relegated my machine to a 7 lb. paperweight. This cheap nut, which is unattainable but could easily have been a standard issue, easily replaceable part, means I need to buy a whole new machine. To me, $49.95 is a tad high for a nut.
