Like so many others I had the circuit board go bad after only a handful of uses in the first season. When I called for parts, (as mine had a limited lifetime warranty), KitchenAid said they no longer supply the circuit board and I would need to purch ... ase another new machine.

I had been all set to provide a very very very positive review of this blender which I purchased after seeing how well it worked at a friends house, and was meeting all my needs until the jar, after approximately 5 weeks started to leak!
