Dashed Dreams

Sorry to DASH your hopes here. I normally don't buy until I have a good sense of the product, and after reading the reviews and looking at the design, I said why not? The positive -- I love the idea. Single cup coffee meets blender to produce single blend smoothie in a stainless insulated travel container. Wow. Wish the base was black though, so it would've matched my other Dash products -- their larger blender and an egg cooker. The negative -- the blade cover uses a silicon o ring to seal with the container and it comes of too easily and did so without warning. On our fourth day of use, the o ring came loose during blending and decided to wrap and ruin itself on the blades. Good thing I noticed the very different sound and the immediate leak, lest the motor might have burned out. Now, I have a nice looking machine that is no longer functional. No o ring, no seal, no blender. Shucks.
