Not going to waste more time trying to get warranty replacement of a poorly-designed unit, and instead look for a unit with on-off button or switch, rather than failure-prone screw-on spring-loaded "actuation".

The screws that hold blades are loose and liquid leaks out.

Not only do the blender cups leak through tightly twisted screw threads on the cups (a number of people have complained about this), but the blender doesn't even turn on sometimes even when it's properly engaged

Perfect for smoothies, purée , rough or fine chopped
