I purchased this 6 months ago and use it very occasionally. It's now started leaking toxic brown sludge rust which gets sucked up into my drinks. I believe I've been drinking this unknowingly for the past couple of months as the amount that leaks is more each time I've gone to use it. Unfortunately, JB will not replace the product for me as I don't have the receipt anymore. I've now looked into this and discovered that this is a common problem with this blender. If you're considering buying this, don't or if you do, don't misplace the receipt like I did.
