Comment:
Great blender. Had some issues with various things but company always took care of them promptly. Last time the metal gear pitcher fit into came loose. Called company & instructed to send it back. Since there was a small crack in the pitcher, I also included that. Well a few days later a brand new unit showed up. I have had this product for about 5 years!

Comment:
We have owned this for about 2 yrs. the motor just now is giving us problems. I love the blender so much, and would recommend it to anyone. When our base cracked, my daughter got creative and used PVC pipe glue it worked just fine. Now trying to contact company about the motor to see if there is anything they can do for me. But our overall experience with the Blender has been remarkable. The base cracked last year, but like I said my daughter got creative and fixed it. And it cracked because I put it in the dishwasher to wash it, which it tells you NOT to do. We've had no other problems until now.

L'Equip Blender Jar Cracks

Pros
Easy To Clean
Cons
Poor Pitcher

Comment:
The online authorized distributor purchase arrived with the pitcher base cracked. I was surprised because its polycarbonate (albeit very thin) and expected excellent durability. <br /><br />The vendor supplied a new pitcher. I attached the blades being careful not to over tighten the assembly and it worked fine for two weeks but developed an similar crack at the base again. <br /><br />The manufacturer is currently not acknowledging a design flaw and suggested the blades were overtightened to the base.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
