It’s a great blender and I love the versatility of it. One of my cups dropped on the ground and the outer plastic piece broke off but it’s still usable so no complaints. I don’t love the lack of “locking” when using the larger blender pitcher. There have been several times where the blade part was maybe not laid perfectly right in the actual blender and when we took the pitcher part out after blending the blade part came loose and the contents of the blender spilled everywhere.
