Bearing damage after 9 months

We have gained this Blenders us 9 months ago. The main use was the function of Eiscrushen (ice for cocktails or frozen milk for some kind of 'Slush'). We have kept us on the recommendation in the guidance and the boost function only used intermittently.

During this time we noticed the following:

- The mixer begins to stink quickly to electrically and has even slightly smoked during the first operation. I then never dared to leave him more than 20 seconds of continuous use (slow or fast) run.

- The lock on the plastic cover is soon canceled after the purchase, because the mixer flying ice often flew against the crush at high speed. The plastic tabs on the lid there were probably the weakest link.

- After 9 months, the ball bearings between Mixer clutch and cutting adopted. The result was that metal splinters, chips and balls of the camp ended up in Mixgut! The bearing damage but had been felt by a loud running noise thankfully. I could now replace the cutter with a spare, but the overall design seems so inadequate that I'll buy myself another device.
