Query: Worked great... for the first 11 months.

I loved this blender while it was working. I mostly used it to make smoothies with frozen fruit. I love that it has seamless buttons so food can't get caught in little cracks. I rarely used the food processor.After about 11 months, mine also started to smell like it was catching fire - however, it was the black piece in the bottom of the blending jar, which was basically being "Shaved" by the base motor. I had to order a replacement "blender cutting assembly" from the Cuisinart website for $15 with shipping, only to have it happen again.Plus, it was a pain to clean - the base threading didn't match up well with the jar and screwing and unscrewing the base was often difficult. We've replaced the blender with another brand but I have kept the bottom motor part for the processor.
