Unfortunately I made a mistake.  I thought the name was good and so was the product.  Why would anybody redesign the blender,  I'll never know.  This design doesn't allow the food to slide down easily.  I do hope when I crush ice the plastic gears don't break.  All I wanted was to replace a blender that I had for 30 years, that the motor burned out.  Only time will tell if this machine last as long or not.
