I smelled a burning smell after the first use. I didn’t dare to continue using it or it exploded.

The large volume is nice to have when making food blends that last for 2 to 5 days, however with pasty or thicker mixtures I can usually only fill it to the top of the inset plastic luvres before it doesn’t want to swirl and properly mix. This is not an issue with less viscous ingredients.The two silicone knife edge flexible seals on the lid are higher quality than my other blenders.The bottom and top/internal bushings lubricity and durability isn’t quite as good as I had hoped, but it is better than the two Blendtech and Ninja blenders I have. I use a mixture of chlorinated paraffin oil and tungsten disulfide and hexagonal boron nitride dry extreme pressure lubricants on them to keep them fluffy and slippery, which seems to work aside from the worry of the chemicals degrading some parts of the rubber’s structural compound over time.The motor strength and speed are very useful, though if you let it struggle for half a minute it heats up and smells like it may take some damage from extended use. I assume the motor is graphite brushed with larger windings and a decent size circulation fan.To me this blender is a quality workhorse compared to my other popular brand ‘big’ blenders, but in the future I wouldn’t mind seeing an upgraded model with a better motor, bearing, bushing, and fluid mixing design, and maybe even a larger container for a food blend that will last a week or 1.5 weeks in the fridge. Beyond that time span, it would be harder to keep a smoothie from spoiling if it’s contaminated or the fridge isn’t set at the proper temperature.I had to use blue medium strength thread locker on the round headed screw that fastens the spline blender socket adapter to the top of the motor spindle. At high speed the blender vibrates on the table, but I don’t push it past “Mid speed” usually.Edit a few days later: There are cracks forming in the plastic around the blades where the reinforcing fins help connect the concated cone to the mixture volume. I’ll try not to put so much ice into the blender from now on, and we will need to reinforce the joint between the supports and bottom with epoxy.To the manufacturers: Thank you for making this product! The world doesn’t get much time to ponder and shop for quality when they’re kept busy and locked into the nationally competitive conglomerate system of control.
