I've had this product for over 10 years and I just recently had to replace the cup because I couldn't take the blade and the cup a part. The blade even after this many years chopped like it did the first day I got it. I'm sure I can take it somewhere and have them take the blade out and replace the rubber seal on the bottom. But rather than trying to find a place to get the cup fixed I just got a new one, because I know that it will last me at least another 10 years if not more.
