Title: Buying Refurbished Was a Mistake
Review: I purchased this model refurbished from Amazon. When it arrived, there were scratches on the base. I would have thought the base would have been replaced during refurbishment, but oh well, I can live with that. From the first time I used this unit, there was an electric burning smell when running the motor for just a short period of time - I didn't put any major strains on this unit. I though maybe this smell was just normal when the motor was running, but it just died after about 4 months and 10 times of use. Also, the motor base is stainless steel as stated, but the handle and jar collar are just silver plastic. The jar collar can be difficult to remove when trying to access the blades for cleaning. When making smoothies, it did develop that annoying air pocket around the blades that keeps the contents from blending.
