My parents got this blender when they got married 32 years ago. It still works. When I first moved to Nashville I went through 4 blenders in 3 years. They just don’t make the same high-quality kitchen appliances these days I guess. A few years ago I did bite the bullet and buy this one (same brand as Mom & Dads) and it’s still working. Let’s see if it lasts for 30+ years!
