On my fourth duo blender food processor. The first lasted several years then just stopped. The second lasted about nine months then stopped. The third was a back up at a good price prior to the second one stopping. Unfortunately the third stopped within two weeks of it’s first use. I shopped for other blender/food processor brands but none met my need like my original Cuisinart from 2004. I’m trying one more time but I wish someone would explain why it just shuts off mid blending? It’s not over stressed, under liquified or misused. The older one did not do this.
Excellent blender, however we have sometimes overloaded the motor triggering its safety and had to wait 5 min or so for it to reset. Prefer that behavor to burning out the motor. If we initially use pluse for those heavy smoothies unit is fine. Have not tried the processor, however its construction looks to be good.
Base/Motor stopped working properly after a couple months and very minimal use. Model seems to have issue with a “thermal fuse” according to similar issue complaints on internet. Warranty repair/replacement procedure has been a lengthy drawn out process. When it worked, it was good.
Careful using the food processor. You can make an awful mush instead of pico de gallo in seconds. Very powerful. Very sharp blade. Easy to clean. Heavy base. Excellent product. Recommended.
The duet blender/food processor that I just bought works great and loving it. I mainly use the blender to make veggies smoothie daily and the food processor to make peanut butter/almond butter/multi-nuts butter. 2 thumbs up! It is worth every $$
