Title: Do Not Purchase This!
Review: I would like to reiterate what several other reviewers have commented on. This blender was loud from the start and within a couple of months of daily smoothie-making, the motor started struggling and smoking. It turns out that the "smoke" was actually the smell of the cheap plastic cutting assembly, which ultimately melted down. This was the shortest-lived blender I have ever purchased, though certainly not the cheapest. Like many others, I assumed the Cuisinart brand name was linked to quality. I won't make that mistake again!
