The blender works fine. My only problem is that I would like to be able to use it when I return to Europe and it says it is only possible to use with 110 V (instead of European 230 V, which can be solved using transformer) and 60 Hz (which is hard to solve, even though I believe European 50 Hz should in Theory also work). The enclosure is not meant to be repaired or opened and the manufacturer does not provide documentation about what is different in the European version.
