Good Points
Makes good drinks.
Bad Points
Wear on drive sproket unacceptable for the amount of use.
Cleaning the bowl - under the gasket seal is not easy.
General Comments
The Kenwood SB105is a nice little machine i wish they had made it durable.
The main drive sprocket taking power from the drive motor to the sprocket on the bowl to rotate the blades is made of plastic (both parts). They wear at an incredibly quick rate. Ours has done 30 sessions of mixing a drink and the teeth on the sprocket are almost unusable now.
The rubber gasket seal at the bottom of the mixing bowl is difficult to remove for cleaning.
