LOL! That is a funny story!
But the thing about this new blender is that the ‘stuff’ can’t get down into the motor. I used to have to take the whole thing apart to clean it, and ours finally died because stuff leaked down - not to mention that the pretty copper housing got pitted unless you were VERY careful about cleaning.
But with this new one, all you do to clean it is to put in a little water and a drop of dishwash liquid, and ‘whizz’ it a little bit, rinse it out and dry it. Or, you can put it in the dishwasher without taking it apart.
We’ve only had it a week, so I can’t say yet if it’s actually worth the money. But so far, if it lasts as long as the Oster did, I’m really pleased with the new ‘features’.
