I am a fan of this. I got one for me and I also offered the same to my mother. Unfortunately it is clear that this product to weaknesses importantes.Après quite a year of very regular use, a black liquid began to appear at the motor. The problem has grown. I was lucky to have my product still under warranty. After review, it was found that the seal, blade was not tight enough and my engine was drowned. Another copy given to me by Moulinex. For my mother by against, the problem is declared after the end of the warranty. Same symptoms, same results. It is good for the trash. I regret that a product Made in France is so unreliable. Considering the price we are entitled to expect better quality.
