Will Definitely Crack!

I love Ninjas master prep blenders, and I use my 40 oz. bowl daily to make my breakfast smoothies. I prefer my smoothies to be thick and have some texture, rather than be total liquified, and the Ninja prep is perfect for this. HOWEVER....after using the system for about 3 years, I am on my third or fourth 40 oz. bowl. Why?? Because they consistently crack, and they crack mutiple times. Others have also mentioned this in their reviews. Obviously, the plastic used to make these cannot stand up to frozen ingredients, including ice. My last one had about 8 cracks...multiple fractures on the bottom and sides of the base through which contents would ooze out. So I began using my newest replacement bowl about 2 weeks ago. The second day I used it it cracked on the bottom. Yesterday, it again cracked on the bottom. It is a great disappointment, especially since Ninja is aware of this issue, but has done nothing to remedy it. A stronger grade of plastic? A glass bowl? If there was another company that made these bowls for the Ninja prep system, I would be first in line to try one. But alas, as before, I will probably have to order another from Amazon when this newest one develops too many cracks to use it safely.
