Hamilton Beach portfolio blender Review

I have been thru a LOT of blenders, stripping gears, burning thru motors, leaky tops (and bottoms)- leaking is my biggest pet peave!!! I have had this blender for 3 years now, and it is GREAT!!! I blend ANYthing that comes to mind- ice, chocolate, frozen fruit, cold bricks of cream cheese- whatever, and it still works like the 1st day :) It doesn't leak all over my counter like MOST of the other blenders I've had. its ez to take apart- I put it in the dishwasher regularly (minus the base of course). go hamilton beach!
