I purchased this blender on 9/27/20 at my local Wal-Mart here in Aiken, SC. I used the blender 2 times in October of that year to make Margarita's for family when they were here for our son's wedding. I cleaned it well and put away until Super Bowl Sunday when I again tried to make Margarita's. The darn thing would not keep running. Would start and stop--etc. We tried again on Monday using just ice and water and again would start and stop. My Wal-Mart would not return my money as have had longer than 90 days. I am a VERY UNHAPPY customer. I do have my receipt. User's recommendation: Do not buy your appliances at Wal-Mart.
