I was so excited to get this blender, but sadly Ive been disappointed by it.  Ive used it 3 times, and each time it stops mid-puree.  I tried using it this morning to make a smoothie, it just stopped all of a sudden.  None of the buttons would work, I unplugged it, plugged it back in, but still nothing worked.  It just doesnt have the power I was expecting it to.
