Single Serve Blender

Completely Appalled by the quality of this blender!
I bought this blender 3 months ago after the back 2 basics blender I'd had for 3 years finally died. My mother has always said that GE is a name you can trust and so to find that they made a single serve blender and one that was so affordable I was very excited. I snatched it up and began making smoothies right away. This is a good machine for making smoothies, if it didn't fall apart completely within a matter of months. after just the first few weeks of use the cups started getting stuck in the base and it took my boyfriend a half hour to get them out, often breaking one of the prongs on the cup. Then the blender blades lid started leaking while I was making the smoothie. Then I could only fit the cup in a certain way to turn it on. Finally a week ago (after only 3 months of use) the blades fell out of the lid completely! I couldn't believe it. I don't crush ice in this thing I just make normal smoothies, it's not rocket science how to use a blender so I don't understand why this...

While it worked.. it was great!
I recieved this for a wedding present about a month ago. I was very impressed with how it made fruit smoothies which is the only thing I would make in it. I probably used it a total of 10 days before the infamous "stuck in base" thing happened. I had to break the plastic pieces off the glass to get it unstuck from the base. I read reviews on line and it appears this is the norm, not the exception. Sadly, I loved it while it worked, but a product that routinely gets stuck to the base is flawed and I cannot recommend it.

Stuck cup solution
Try pushing down on cup (towards motor) and then turning, like a child-proof pill bottle. Then cup should release. great product for the price.
