Overall good, but defective power cord on some units, blad dulls quickly

I've owned this for one year. The blades went dull after about 25 lite uses to make fruit juice. You cannot replace the blade and you must buy a whole new unit. The base/motor is durable. I washed it directly under water several times and it never failed. I ordered a new one but the power cord is too short and does not wrap around the base long enough for the cord to be properly stored (see photos). It is about 1" too short. This makes all the difference when you want to keep it handy on your counter top. I still consider it a good deal because of the low price. It is convenient, compact, easy to clean, and very handy.
