Query: Kaput! after about 8 months

Worked well, I really appreciated its lightness and balance, used it about once or twice a month for blending creamed soups and other soft stuff, but died before a year. I could not find my receipt, so could not take advantage of its demise (bent shaft) within the one year warranty. If you buy it, put the receipt where it is easily accessible, cuz you'll probably need it.
