I am on my third and there lays the problem I am on my third system. Then need to step up the quality more. For the basic once a day here and there smoothie it is ok… cups need to be far larger but I cook and I mean really cook. Between my wife and I; we can be using this thing between 2 and 20 times a day and it shows it’s age.

However if you are making just one or two smoothies a day. Go hard buy this it will last you years. As much we use ours we get about 2 - 3 years out of them normally the motor goes on us.

But then need to make the blender bottoms stronger and just up the game on the power system.
