Based on personal experience with this piece of crap, a Braun MX 2050 blender purchased in January 2008, I echo every other critical report here about the plastic gears at the bottom of the blade assembly. They take a short while to break down but break down, they will, within the first year of operation. Mine started to go within 6 months and completely shredded at the 10-month mark, rendering the blender inoperable. Needless to say, this was all with gentle, approved usage.

Yes, the MX 2050 cheap. But it's not good value at any price because inevitably, it will break down. Replace that gear & blade assembly for $$, in my case a third of the original purchase price, and all you've done is buy a few more weeks or months at best.

I suspect that the positive reviews were written shortly after purchase, i.e. before the fatal design flaw had a chance to rear its ugly head. Don't be fooled, as I was. Notice that the negatives are rapidly overtaking the positives numerically, as well as in strength of evidence.

Braun's service representative in my area said this problem is not covered under warranty. All they could do was sell me another defective part. My subsequent email to Braun has not even been acknowledged. This is not the kind of company I want to deal with, for this or any product from now on.
