In the beginning, the fundamental problem of this mixer is not noticeable. After some time (about 20-30 Mixvorgänge) dissolves the screw between the glass container and plastic insert if you want to take out the glass jar from the blender. The consequence is that all the liquid is contained in the glass vessel passes through the mixer! A huge mess !!! Definitely a design flaw !!! And from such a big company like Philip !! Very embarrassing for the designers, had better sweep streets when the difference between a left - does not know and right-hand thread !!!
