Is this Blender Durable? Do you think it will last a few years at least?

This system is totally durable and quite honestly one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. It crushes ice cubes into snow and perfect for mixed drinks. I've even used it to chop meat for taco meat. Makes cole slaw in an instant. You can't go wrong with it.

I have only had mine a couple of months and so far am very pleased with it. I also have the small Ninja chopper and have used it consistently for two years so I do think the blender should equal the performance of that and more.

I'v had this blender since March. Use it almost every day for smoothies without ice. It's only been used with ice a few times. No problems yet. I don't remember what kind of warranty it has.

No problem at all with this blender. If it's too late to return it to Amazon, just contact the manufacturer and I'm sure they'll rectify the problem for you.

Oh, yes! It is very sturdy and has straight up and down blades. Much stronger than my old wire blenders. Also, this is a good idea as I have been using a potato masher to mash bananas and this would work better! Thanks!

I've only had the paint in place for a couple of months, but it has two top coats of clear finish over the paint, so I would expect it to be fairly durable to the friction of wear along the edge, but I can't really give you any long term experience. So far, it seems pretty durable, but we don't use our kitchen hard, being semi-retired and not having a lot of cooking to do like when the kids were growing up.

Yes, I'd say it's durable. As turtleperson mentions, the clamp that holds it is made out of plastic, and it probably wouldn't take much to break it. As long as you're careful during installation and so long as nothing crashes into the unit after installation then it will be fine. The pump itself is very durable and I don't foresee having any durability issues with it.I've had mine for 3 months now, and I love it. Water used to just trickle out of my RO faucet before... After installing this pump I actually have to be careful to not turn the faucet all the way on when filling ice cube trays or water splashes everywhere due to the higher pressure!

I love mine. I've gone through several over the years. Some broke and some were under powered. My kid, the chef pushed me to buy this immersion blender rather than another inexpensive one. I grumbled and griped about the cost. Kid was right and I would never give this up. Lots of power and very sturdy. Kid has been saying for years to go pro quality in the kitchen. Kid is right.

It's not the best blender. For home-use you will likely see no difference in quality for a decade or more, but this particular model lasts just short of 2.5 years in my kitchen (commercial/professional) whereas the vitamix I last had lasted over a decade and saw more use.

Yes it seems to be durable. It is a thick quality plastic. You will need to trim the body, it comes pressed with area that must be trimmed.

Yes! I have had mine for about a year and a half - my ice cubes still get crushed into a snowlike consistancy! We make smoothies all the time.

It appears to be very durable. It should last several years if taken care of properly - no dropping of parts and keep the parts clean.

Yes its well worth the money. Why pay 100 or 200 when this blender does it all. COMPLETELY SATISFIED!!!!!!!

I use it about every other day (to make smoothies and blend ingredients for baking) and it works really well! no problems so far. It's sturdy and has chopped rather tough items like nuts and dates with a lot of ease.

I played with it regularly for a few months and I didn't see any problem or any sign of damage. I didn't play much after that. I think it should be fine for a few years.

Absolutely. I paid $100 for my regular blender last December and it never worked this well. As far as just blending it's as good as the Vitamax. You can buy a 5 year warranty on it for $20. It turns anything into liquid.

I would say that it should last several years. I have been using one of the plastic Scotty Peelers for several months and it still looks and works as though it is brand new.

No problems at all in my limited experience as I am just using it to make smoothies. The unit seems well engineered and I expect it will provide years of reliable service.
