JAWZ High Performance Blender, 64 Oz Professional Grade Countertop Blender, Food Processor, Juicer, Smoothie or Nut Butter Maker, Simple 2 Speed Toggle Switch w Pulse, Stainless Steel Blades, Silver

EDIT (March 2022):I increased my rating from 1 to 3 Stars because the manufacturer warranty from JAWZ was fair--I filed a claim against my JAWZ blender unit and (after 2-3 months) received a claim check for the retail amount I paid for the blender and, while I do appreciate being refunded for this unit, the blender has an unacceptably short service life, and the inability to purchase additional blender vessels and blades is ridiculous.Original Review:I bought this JAWZ (Toggle Switch) Blender in May 2020 as a more affordable alternative to Vitamix; I should have gone with the Vitamix. This blender is powerful--albeit very loud--and blended my smoothies satisfactorily. However, after about a year of nearly daily use, this blender is now showing signs of malfunctioning...On more than one occasion I have toggled the speed to high and when toggling back down to low the speed stays on high. The digital LED display has flickered/blinked and at least one time did it 'glitch' and displayed illegible figures. And the following behavior is simply unacceptable for a high-powered blender rated at one or more horsepower: during a blending cycle I've toggled the speed to high and then toggled the speed to 'off' and the blender kept blending on high causing me to have to flip the side on/off power button to safely stop it; and blender unexpectedly stopped completely during a blending cycle that was toggled to 'high', so the speed toggle was still set to active-blend on 'high' but the blender was not blending, again I had to use the side on/off switch to safely power down the blender for handling.In addition to the above grievances, there appears no way to order separate components for these blenders through the manufacturer on Amazon or elsewhere. I was interested in buying another blender top for the base so I could have two on-hand, but I was unsuccessful in discovering how to which mades me think it isn't possible (bizarre if true).At the price point, you'll save some money upfront, but I also expect it to last longer than a year and, since it hasn't, I'm considering this blender a waste of money, especially when considering the clear lack of support for the blender as far as purchasing accessory components etc. If you're looking at this as an 'affordable' alternative to a Vitamix, just eat the premium cost of the Vitamix and go with that instead, it's what we all really want in a blender anyway.

Spills when using the cleaning function even if it is tightly closed.

WOW. POWERFUL! This thang shook and vibrated the counter and she's LOUD! Yep, Jawz is right (Jaws)! This would have no problem making fresh nut butters and could probably chop tree limbs!

This thing is a beast. I use it on everything, but the test is my homemade peanut butter. An average blender can't handle making peanut butter, this thing does it with power to spare. The wind from the motor actually blew things off my counter the first time I turned it on. The design really does force the blend up and back to the center, but the angles require a little more effort to clean the inside. Also it is loud, it's like a mini jet engine. But these little inconveniences are well worth the power and capabilities. I have yet to feel like I am over working it, not even close, but it can get hot pretty quick. The only reason this model is not 5 stars is that I should've got the model with more digital controls. Overall, this blender rocks. And if I ever stop blending, I can take the motor out and put it on a go kart LOL 😆

Hubby bought it for his protein shakes, he really loves it so far
