After spending 200$ for a supposedly premium Philips blender which broke in less than one year after having been sent to assistance, having parts replaced and broken again, been repaired by me and after I spent thousands of swear and curses, I am really this ' ' close to smashing it with an hammer and crucifying it to scare the other Philips products away from my kitchen.

Since those were 200$ wasted, and my parents and grandparents kitchen stuff worked sometimes for 30 years before breaking, where can I get my grandparents gear? Should I just resort to smashing vegetables and fruits by hand with stones?

I really like my Ninja one but it's got some weird mechanical sensors in the base that tell it what attachment you're using (blender pitcher, food processor, single-serve cup, etc). I've had it for about 5 years now and use it regularly, and it's held up, but I always worry about those little sensor things messing up.

    I'm actually having issues with mine. It has a magnet sensor in the handle to tell if the lid is locked and the magnet has lost it's pull. Now I have to cram a neidemium between then to get it to register until I have the time to pull it apart and fix it.

    Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I worry about breaking on it. I'm not sure about the blender pitcher, but the food processor attachment definitely has that.

    Haven't had any issues, but I'm always just super careful with it.

    Im going to have to go with the Ninja here, had one for three years and I use it frequently with no problem. I might have an older cheaper one though as there's no magnets to worry about as others noted.

    I know people with a lot of different ninja products and everyone seems to love them. I dont have anything beyond the blender but I am impressed. I personally will try other stuff from them.
