Query: Defect in the blade mechanism

This blender definitely has a problem with the blade. The plastic pieces that connect to the base that spin the blade are extremely vulnerable to breaking. I broke ALL of them within the first 6 months of owning the blender. For the record if you break one and try to run the blender, it will break all the other pieces.While I have not contacted Braun yet, I will do so to try and get a replacement part. This is definitely a defect in this product and I do not recommend purchasing a ... blender to use for a few months.
