I didn't use the shaft very often, ocassionally for pumpkin soup in winter. In the last six months started making berry and banana smoothies. It started smelling foul, discovered liquid in the shaft with little bits of stale smoothie dripping out...

Have not had issue with mine, out of the 3 attachments, I use the whisk and chopper the most. I use the whisk for whipping cream in the tall container, the rubber lid is great as it doubles as a non-slip base, then a lid for storage in the...

I've had this stick blender for years now. A few years ago the seal in the large metal attachment self destructed whilst blending pumpkin soup. No doubt, my eating disgusting rubber seal turned me off pumpkin soup for a while. Attachment still works...

The stick component being dishwasher proof is the only reason it didn't get one star. The buttons on the top became less and less reliable at 12 months, and then died at 13 months, half way through a basic banana smoothie and then a very unhappy miss 4...

I believed I might have found a decent blender at a fair price. Motor burnt out mixing some custard. Given the price, the time period and the use. I just couldn't in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

I was super impressed with the gadget to start with, it was brilliant at crushing ice. But then, 1m after warranty expired, I was blending soup and it stopped working. The plastic insert in the shaft, was bored away. Disappointing!!

Like lots of others, we use stickmixers for pureeing soup. I mean, the idea with these things is you can puree without needing to transfer to a processor in multiple batches! So we were annoyed when we had Stickmaster Pro 'seal soup' like lots of...

I'm genuinely surprised by the negative reviews of this product... My mother in law bought my husband one of these stick blenders one christmas, maybe two years ago? Initially I thought, just another gadget. I had no idea what I would use it for, but...

I purchased my stickmaster Pro a few months back and so far so go until this morning when it decided to stop working. The motor now smells burnt out and I am not very happy. I have not had it for very long and was only using it to crush almonds. I...

Using the stickmaster pro as directed to crush ice when the plastic lug on the drive shaft on top of the chopper attachment shattered. Reading other reviews it seems they are designed to self destruct 1 month after the warranty expires! Very...
