The motor is still working, but the shaft leaks air like crazy. Tring to make any kind of emulsion is a joke with this thing unless you want to froth it. The seal lets so much air in, that the little holes that make it easier to burp the air, don't make any difference. The only thing I can say nice about this item is the motor still works.
After years of putting off this purchase, I finally got an immersion blender! It is now used everyday as I make soups and lattes and mix anything and everything! Don’t wait, get one now!
I bought this for making soap. I have only used it twice but so far it has worked well and done its job. It’s easy to handle and I like the fact that I can separate the motor half from the blender.
