Query: Great, until the drive gear shatters

As other reviewers, we loved this blender until it broke. It was quiet, powerful, simple to use, and looked great. The food processor was the perfect size, and very useful.The only complaint in using it was the base unit on the blender jar was hard to get off at times. Also, the plastice silver coating was wearing off.After 1.5 years of moderate use (mainly smoothies), the plastic gear connecting the motor to the blender shattered. Luckily we bought ours at a retailer that we could return it to.If Cuisinart ever fixes this defect issue, we would definitely buy it again. Until then an expensive Osterizer is working well for us.
