I bought mine at Sams Club like 9 years ago. It is still working. I love it! We have a lot of smoothies. Also make fresh hot soup. I even tried some of their non alcoholic drinks. Very good . All I can say is they are practically indestructible. Still works like a charm after all these years. We had bought different blenders over the years. They all wouldn't do the job. They would freeze while using and weren't powerful enough to get the job done.
