Low Quality Replacement
After moderate use each year, this is the third replacement blade in the last 5 years. We mainly make emulsions like pestos or dressings. Nothing that would cause stress on the blade.
Issue:
- The steel rivets that hold the blade to plastic cylinder is the culprit. The blade cracks around the rivet and a the thin chunk of it will finally fall off and into your food. It seems to have a flawed design.
- If you want an example of what I am talking about check out the picture I posted on the unit.
- A couple years ago we found steel shards in our basil pesto sauce. Someone almost ATE IT! Now we check for such an issue after each use.
As a side note, we don’t put this blade in the dish washer, we hand wash it.
I guess $15/year is not bad maintain a $200 kitchen appliance that we use a lot. My only issue is that my previous Cuisinart Processor had a blade that lasted 30 years. Sad!
flawed design, cracks at rivet holes
Overpriced for a defective design. The identical original had breaks at the rivets after a couple years of use. No choice but to order another badly designed replacement
does the job
we didn’t realize how dull our other blade was until we got this replacement and then "oh man"! Makes puree out of anything.
