Disappointing change

I had the old version of this and the Ice Crusher blade, but had to replace it due to a house fire. I remembered the blades being dishwasher safe along with everything else. I could be wrong, but have no way to verify that. This is disappointing, because that was one of the great values of this product and what set it aside from competitors. The Ice Crusher blade is especially hard to hand clean, as there are two blades where the spaces are waay under there and hard to get to, even with a scrubby brush. Having it be dishwasher safe would’ve been so much better.
I fell for the BlendJet hype and 3 months later the thing conked out. Lucky for me I still had my Magic Bullet that I bought 3 yrs ago +/-. Took it out, plugged it in, added some yogurt, a few raspberries and strawberries and made a great smoothie. Thank you, Magic Bullet for continuing to carry this.
the kids on these things are a nightmare. once they seal themselves on, they are next to impossible to remove. slit my hand open once and broke another. worst design ever. nice concept for an easy and ready to use blender, thought processing stopped when they designed the lids.
Mine is one of the first. It has provided me with yeeeears of service. Everything from egg shells/kitchen scraps (for my compost pile) to finely ground bacon (use the flat blade) to frozen fruits...it has served me well.
The base gear finally broke but the replacement is cheap (the fact that most of the parts are replaceable means good design...not disposable junk) and the fact this thing has lasted so long has me very satisfied. Oh...it's also very, very easy to clean. The sheer simplicity of the design is no-frills and less to clean/break.
I bought this 2 days ago for smoothies and it worked great the first time I used it. When I went to make a smoothie this morning it would not turn on or do anything.
