Hamilton Beach HBF600S-CE Expeditor 3 hp 64 oz. Stainless Steel High Performance Food Blender - 230V (International Use Only)

I ordered this blender, plus an extra stainless steel container. Both the stainless steel container that came with the blender and the extra container leaked excessively from the lid. The lids simply would not make a good seal with the container. I measured the containers at the top with a micrometer, and both containers seemed to be 1/32 inch out-of-round. In my opinion, the out-of-round problem was clearly a manufacturing defect, because both of the boxes were sealed from the manufacturer, and were not damaged during shipping. Other than the containers leaking at the lid, this blender does a good job blending. I think this blender show promise, but until the leaky lid issue is resolved I do not recommend this blender
