Oster 6700 In2itive New Tech Blender and Food Processor

I bought this machine because I needed something powerful for smoothies. The design was nice and easy to use, you turn it on to the setting you want and it automatically goes off when it is finished. The smoothies did come out nice. It did not a make a decent milk shake though.
The big problem I had with this machine was that the jar leakes very badly. It uses a different seal then other Oster products and can't be found without ordering it. When I say the jar leaks I mean that it REALLY leaks. Not just a few drops here and there, but after using for about a month liquid comes out the bottom almost as fast as it goes in!
If not for this I think I would love it, but unfortunatley the flaw is fatal
I also never recieved a response when I sent corrispondence to Oster about the problems. Not even a polite apology!
If you need a good blender I would save my money and look elsewhere.

This Model has been discontinued due to high failure rate. In less that two years I had three replacements Product leaks the motor locks up.. As a matter of fact I call sunbeam this morning @ 1-800-334-0759 and they offered a full refund ( if you have the original receipt or a partial if you don't have it provided you send the the plug and four inches of the cord( strange ) or a replacement. I picked the model 3200. as a replacement.

I loved this blender, and didn't have too much trouble with leaking until I had used it for several months. What caused me trouble? The clips on the bottom of the skirt snapped off. After they all fell off, suddenly the blender would not go on. I superglued them back on so that the sensor would allow it to start. Now I have three clips missing. As one falls off, I glue it back on. I realize this is to prevent the container flying off the base and redecorating the kitchen, but why so poorly made? This is a powerful motor!!
