I bought it with a 7 year warranty and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. This is by far the best blender I have ever purchased, it does everything they claim. I use it almost every day and have never had an issue with it.

Same thing happened to me and it cannot be repaired....the entire jar must be replaced. Call kitchen aid, they offer a one time courtesy replacement jar even if your blender is out of warranty. I have retired mine from smoothie making and purchased a ninja ultima.

Honestly, I would say avoid this blender for smoothies. Mine burned up on Kale. Take the plunge and buy a Ninja. If I had done so, I would've paid only 100$ instead of 150$ (50 for this blender and 100 for the Ninja.).

I found it a couple years ago, but decided it was cheaper in the long run just to buy a different appliance. With the item and shipping, it's around $18.00. Good luck!http://westbend.com/support/replacement-parts/blenders/se3000-smoothie-express.html

I would not recommend this blender. If you're wanting it to crush ice it will destroy the blades. There is no warranty. I had this less than one year and the manufacturer would not replace it. I went back to my old Osterizer.

http://www.totalvac.com/waring.html You can see in the parts guide the gears are metal and are available as a spare part. I have used the blender frequently (twice daily for 6 months so far) , but can't wholly attest to its future life span. I just bought another one for my son, who just bought an apartment and he uses it as well.

I bought this item thinking it had the blade inside the cup because I wanted an extra one to go with the blender I had bought at Walmart. I suggest just buying the blender/cup from Walmart. It is under $20 and you don't have to pay shipping.

I have the Bamix Pro, my second Bamix and I have loved mine. I wore the first one out, like, worked it to death in about 13/15 years. So sorry your doesn't meet your expectations. I don't even own a blender.

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.

Not me. I've used my blender every day for over a year. I would return it before the warranty expires. Maybe you got a dud.

I think it's the same thing as refurbished. For some reason these failed QC or were returned to the factory, were fixed and are getting sold back. I almost always buy refurbished because the item is cheaper and has been tested better than a regular item. The blender came factory packaged seemed brand new and works perfectly, I'm pretty happy with it.

Blender, Blender, Blender :). If you have the extra $$ there are Ninja's that come with a blender and a food processor bowl.

It is a regular blender and I make smoothies with it. I have to say that the power isn't there. I had an OLD blender (30 years old). This does not compare to it at all. I would not buy this again. I guess you get what you pay for.

I have no idea. Contact the manufacturer of your blender or view a "replacement parts" website for accurate information.

Included is a Professional cookbook from the CIA Master Chefs, which has some very nice recipes, plus "Create Recipes" by Michael Symon. I use both in order to get variety when making soups and smoothies. I love my Vitamix 1363 and use it several times a day. I do think the spatulas should be included as a necessary tool along with the tamper, which is included in the price of the blender

Whoops, sorry, I didn't read the website closely enough, this is what it said:"All parts are obsolete - No substitutions are available." So sorry. Maybe bestto just invest in a good blender. :P
