A call to the Philips support brought clarification and prompted me, in spite of concerns about order yet:
Philips has detected the error in the knife work and this (I hope) eliminated. The seal has been changed. The change can be read off the serial number under the unit. All units with serial numbers starting from 1408 .. and above should no longer be affected by the error. My (delivered on 12.07.2014) has number 14195th We will see. I will report when something changes.
Why 1 star deduction?
- The machine sucks in the operation of already singed under the housing pretty hard anyway. I hope this is still after prolonged operation. At the Geschack-mixed contents has the however not affected.
- Ice Crusher program is not really usable. The ice below is like snow, while above still really big chunks are (I have snacked with 6 full-size ice cubes). When the chunks still wants chop, everything is down already liquid. So would you prefer to use the hand-operated Crusher.
- The lid does not close 100% leak-proof. I had filled a 850 ml can of peeled tomatoes to mix these. All around on the seal of the cover came from some liquid (not much, but it went down on the outer edge of the glass jug.
