Customer Review: Stripped plastic gears
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a good little chopper with plenty of power. I was very happy with it for almost a year, but then the plastic gears or belt wore out. It is now useless. If this chopper had metal gears it would still be running and would last much longer than a year. Metal gears are not such a big deal, my half inch drill has them and the whole drill only costs $30. Don't think you are going to repair this chopper either, it is made so it can't be taken apart to fix. To make matters worse, I can't find a single food processor on the market today that has metal gears. They're ALL plastic! This has to stop! Plastic (of any kind) is NO GOOD for making gears! Don't expect ANY machine you buy to last very long if it has plastic gears or belts.
About all one can do is look for a food processor that is "Direct Drive" (no gears). The drive shaft of the motor is connected to the chopper directly with no plastic gears or belts. These should last much longer (if the motor is powerfull enough and doesn't burn out). Everything is made so cheap these days.
Final word on this machine.... this is about the best small chopper you can find, if you don't mind buying a new one about every 12 months. Too bad they're too cheap to use steel gears. I will buy a direct drive machine now.
