The blade gasket design allows food particles and liquid to seep underneath the seal where they cannot be properly cleaned, leading to trapped debris, mold growth, and persistent foul odors even with thorough washing. Multiple independent this identical failure mode. Earlier models experienced motor failures around 16 months, though the manufacturer claims circuit board improvements in current production.
This sleek 1000-watt personal blender crushes ice and kale into silky smoothies while running noticeably quieter than a Ninja, and the matte finish looks genuinely premium on your counter. The blade gasket traps food and liquid underneath where no amount of scrubbing can reach it, and multiple mold growing in that sealed cavity within weeks of normal use, producing foul odors that won't wash out. Some motors have also overheated or died within months, and blending friction heats your drink to an unpleasant warmth. The performance is real, but at this price you shouldn't be gambling on whether your blender will cultivate a biohazard or quit before the warranty expires, stick with a NutriBullet or Ninja instead.
The context that matters

CNET notes manufacturer made improvements to circuit board and electrical connections in current generation after earlier motor failures. Current production models may have addressed some reliability issues, but gasket/seal design flaw appears to persist across generations based on recent retail reviews.
