Exactly the same issue as others on here. The gear connection between the blender body and the blade wore away on the second time using it. Worked great the first time, second time not so much.
I bought this hoping to use it for my morning smoothies. It doesn't blend well and after a handful of uses it caught on fire. Do not buy! Do your research and put your money towards a stronger more reliable blender.
I bought a Magic Bullet in November 2020 - it stopped working June 2021. It is hands down the worst personal blender I have had and disappointed that it couldn't last even a year. It is cheap in how it is made and assembled - just save yourself the time and buy a different brand. I will not buy a Magic Bullet or anything from this brand ever again.
I bought this in Dec 2016 and am still using it regularly. I just had to buy a couple accessories when the short cup broke and cross blade gave up on us. This product is a beauty, highly recommended.
I bought almost 6 months back. After around1.5 month of purchasing the product started making noise while running so replaced it. Now it did not even completed 6 months and started leaking and making noise.
