This blender started out great and I was so pleased. Then it started leaking out the base where the blade is, but I managed. Then it would begin to unscrew from the cup while blending, again I managed. Now the base spins but it will no longer spin the blade at all rendering it useless. All of this in less than a month of owning it. Extremely frustrated and annoyed at how much this costs for how quickly it stopped working.
