Kmart Anko Stainless Steel Blender

I purchased this machine for $29 at Kmart over 3 years ago and it has worked very well during that time, comparable to previous blenders I've owned at 10 times the price eg <$300.
I use it mainly for frozen fruit smoothies, puree cooked vegetable soups, batters, sauces, frozen cocktails, thickshakes and other liquids. I always start blending on low, before turning it up to high speed.
I don't believe this is the right machine to chop or "shred" whole raw vegetables without liquid.
The machine is noisy, but all the blenders I have owned in...

I was skeptical because this is really cheap but was impressed by the quality. It's very sturdy and you can use it to blend anything from smoothies to soups and nut butters. It blends liquids a lot better than solids, so you may need to stir consistently if you're blending something very chunky or solid. There are only two blend speeds and a pulse setting but it works fine. Overall, I'm really happy with it.

I bought it new just few months ago, the blender glass's torn, and melted even seldom I used it !!
it is not good product, now I need to buy new...I wasted my money buying this blender!
