The “patented” safety guard should be pulled off shelves immediately. I followed instructions and made sure it was secure and it STILL fell off and blended plastic all into my baby’s purée. Dumped the whole thing. Waste of time, energy, money, food but most importantly it is UNSAFE for usage. BUYER BEWARE… blender is fine, blade is clearly very sharp… scratched the plastic container it came with  and would most definitely scratch my pans. I thought a hand blender would be convenient but actually it’s not worth ruining my pans and/or eating plastic.
