I like the blender but it's designed very poorly, that plastic lid part broke twice and the handle collects all the leftover gunk with no way possibly to clean it. Horrible design! DO NOT BUY!

Cheap plastic lid broke and can't buy just the lid so you have to add the jug to landfill and purchase exactly the same cheap breakable lid with big jug for a high price.

that ridiculous lid is trash, stupid design and broke fast!!

The handle fills with debris and is not detachable so can't be cleaned. It's disgusting.

Like many others, my top complaint is with the bazaar safety feature that involves a plastic rod which prevents the blender from starting unless the lid is properly put on. I don't think that this is necessary but perhaps it is an EU requirement. The problem is that the rod is enclosed in a plastic tube which has only one small opening at the top. Inevitably bits of food and liquid get into the tube through this opening. There is absolutely no way to clean the tube! After a while the inside of the tube is coated with food waste. Also where the bottom of the blender jar is connected to the structure that fits onto the motor there are several places which are impossible to clean. These also accumulate waste which can't be reached. Finally the blade assembly can't be detached from the blender jar, so it is impossible to properly clean the blades. Or replace or sharpen them.
