Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read reviews before I purchased this and chose to ignore the negative ones because the positive seemed to outweigh them...BUT the blender does slowly stop working over time. I bought it in July....LOVED it because I could easily make a shake to take on the road with me in the morning...perfect size!...but then it started not blending on it's own, so I'd have to hold it to blend...then it started just making a noise and not blending at all. I'm just now in the process of hearing back from Oster, but i have to send them a TON of information...so we'll see if they even replace it? I just suggest that you find a blender that does the same thing and has overall great reviews! I learned the hard way!
