Low Quality Replacement Apr 04, 2012
By Lmm After moderate use each year, this is the third replacement blade in the last 5 years. We mainly make emulsions like pestos or dressings. Nothing that would cause stress on the blade.
Issue: - The steel rivets that hold the blade to plastic cylinder is the culprit. The blade cracks around the rivet and a the thin chunk of it will finally fall off and into your food. It seems to have a flawed design. - If you want an example of what I am talking about check out the picture I posted on the unit. - A couple years ago we found steel shards in our basil pesto sauce. Someone almost ATE IT! Now we check for such an issue after each use.
As a side note, we don't put this blade in the dish washer, we hand wash it.
I guess $15/year is not bad maintain a $200 kitchen appliance that we use a lot. My only issue is that my previous Cuisinart Processor had a blade that lasted 30 years. Sad!
