Works great - for a while
This is a great blender. However, I've had to replace the jar twice in two years. Both times there were problems with the assembly that spins the blades. Once it just started leaking. Another time it flew apart while blending a smoothie.
I use the unit almost every day, but a "Pro" bartop jar should be more durable than that.
Sturdy glass carafe. Identical to original equipment.
I bought this at the same time I purchased a new Waring professional blender, so I can accurately compare the replacement to the original and I find them identical. The only surprise in both the original and the replacement when compared to my old Waring model carafe is that the bottom cannot be removed for easier cleaning.
I don't consider this a serious deficiency, as the all glass carafe (except for the blade and shaft on which the blade is mounted)is relatively easy to clean, with no little rubber or plastic nooks and crannies in which food can hide and fester.
Recommended.
Broke immediately
Our original blender jar had one broken blade. We put up with a 3-blade blender for years before we finally invested in a new blender jar. We had it for a month or more before we actually used the new jar. I don't think it had even lasted 6 uses before the central screw of the assembly broke into two. We weren't doing anything unusual with it - sauces and smoothies. It's now completely useless, and past the time to return it. For the price, and supposedly "professional" quality, you'd think you'd get something that would last more than a week. Now we're out fifty bucks and still have a lousy blender.
