This is my Cuisinart Sucks story::  I have /had a cuisinart blend central, blender /smotthie dispenser/food processor. 

After less than a year and probably only 25 uses it started smelling hot then came to a screeching halt. upon investigation I found that several screws that hold the motor in place have broken loose causing the motor to fall and contact the plastic housing. the result is the little wheel welding itself to the housing.

After talking to someone at customer service I found that there is a warrantee for this unit, after I box it up, pay to send it back and send a $10 check to cover return shipping.

I didn't break this thing, I didn't design this thing and I didn't build this thing. so why should I have to pay more to have it fixed for a manufacturing defect?

I'm done with with companies that build crap.

If I can't find something made in the USA from now on, I guess I don't need it;.
