Back-To-Basics Smoothie Elite Maker Review

This is the second smoothie maker I've bought. The pour spout on the Smoothie Elite SE2000 broke at about the third time I used it. Thinking it was a fluke, I bought a smaller model and today the handle on that pour spout broke also. Has anyone else had this happen to them? It is very frustrating since otherwise I love how it works. But I'll never buy another one. And I will warn people about this happening.
