Query: An unfortunate waste of money

I thought a $70 blender would not only blend better than cheaper models, but certainly last longer. I've had this for 6 months, and the end cap that attaches to the bottom with the blade has cracked TWICE in exactly the same place, leaving me a bunch of slop to clean up all over my kitchen. I only use the blender 2 or 3/wk for smoothies WITHOUT ICE, so it's not as though I've put it through a heavy workload. Very unfortunate, because it does blend well. Now I will NEVER buy another Oster blender, nor will I ever recommend them.
