I bought this blender 6mo ago. It was working great and then I was making my smoothie one morning and it started to smell like burning plastic, smoke coming out of the bottom. I never blend nothing too hard just bananas and milk. I have continued to use it and it keeps getting worse. Now I worry if I continue using it it might blow up on me. It smokes and get very hot smells like burning plastic. Don't buy it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
