2.0 out of 5 stars Coupler broken after 1 year, July 30, 2004

After going thru several $20 dollar blenders in the last 10 years I decided to splurg and go for the Kitchenaid. Well it didn't last even as long as the cheap ones. The motor is still good, and the blades are still good, but they used a little plastic coupler between the two and it lost all it's teeth one by one. We mainly like to make milkshakes and smoothies about 3 or 4 times a week.

2.0 out of 5 stars coupler broke, June 26, 2004

Same problem here.
Plastic on metal doesn't hold up to frozen fruit.
Motor works great, it just isn't connected to the blades any more. Looks good and is nice and heavy.
Unbelievable weak link, unfortunately engineered piece never anticipated frozen fruit I guess.
Same holds true for all of their models.
If you make fruit smoothies you can't get this. Inspect other companies products where the coupler attaces to the motor.
I actually looked at a Waring Pro. Uses the same material but you can replace it yourself for $5.

2.0 out of 5 stars broken part, June 2, 2004

I was pleased with my blender until the coupler disintergrated and I cannot find a replacement part. I have to take it to an authorized dealer to fix it and there is not one within an hours drive of my home. With such a powerful motor you would think they would have made the piece out of a material that would hold up. I have had it for 2 years and have not use it but an average of once a month. I wouldn't recommmend it until they fix this flaw.
