Title: plastic shaft pulley is a cheap chinese part destined to fail...
Review: Looks like the hokey looking motor assembly is made in Shanghai. Unfortunately the plastic shaft gear easily melts it's teeth into the drive belt ruining both (really, how much would a better metal gear cost?). A check on the B & D parts page doesn't offer the faulty gear pulley as a part, only a whole motor assembly for over $60 plus shipping - hardly worth the repair cost. I hate throwing something in the garbage that fails due to one small, ill conceived, and unavailable component, and so i think this will be my last Black and Decker purchase. Too cheap to do the job and didn't last my occasional light use.
Is the review positive or negative?
