Well, all the negative reviews turned out to be true. I bought my Healthmaster from Macys for a sale price. I only used it for making veggie juice (no soup or ice cream). It did what they said it would do and I loved the healthy juice it made. Finally a way to eat my vegetables that I hated so much. The motor still runs but the bottom has rusted and drips brown gunk all over my counter when I lift it off the base. Sure I can send the rusty carafe back and they'll replace it for $40 bucks. I can't keep doing that every month. What a piece of crap. This product should be taken off the market. I learned my lesson and will bite the bullet and get the Vitamix that I should have bought in the first place.

I bought this about a year ago, and after a couple of uses it started to leak some rusty fluid every time I use it. It is so noisy, everybody runs outside the room when I use it. DO NOT BUY!

I wrote this letter to Healthmaster. I hope it is helpful to you concerning your purchase:
I purchased this blender in December of 2009 from Fingerhut. It began spewing some kind of substance (like thick black oil) out from the bottom of the pitcher. At the time it began I just wiped it clean, but now I am certain it was coming up into the food I was blending and eating. Then the motor also began making noises. I made some soup one day and the whole pitcher and blade came apart at the base and green soup was splattered all across my apartment.
Fingerhut refuses to help me. They told me to call you. I did, and you want $80.00 for shipping to send me a new base and pitcher. The cost to ship the entire unit when purchased new is $29.99.
I have since done some research, and many people have had the same experience with the base and pitcher spewing black and/or dark substances into their food. Just look at the website for QVC and others. You really need to find a solution.
There are also many complaints about the staff that you have. When you call and talk to them, they are not helpful at all. One of your people told me that the $80.00 charge was actually a favor because I could be charged for a whole new unit. Perhaps some basic definitions of what a warranty is and how it works could make a useful wall poster in your little work areas there. I won't even mention basic customer service skills, that might be an overload.
Clever marketing idea: Claim there is a 100% warranty on the unit and the when people call for help with the unit broken in pieces, tell the the warranty is $29.00 if you didn't purchase it directly. That should be a reall money maker for you considering the volume of people who have purchased this and watched it fall to peices. I sure hope you find a way to help me in the future when all that black gunk I injested begins manifesting a health hazard for me and countless others.

All these reviews are true. Unfortunatley, I didnt read them till just now. I bought mine from amazon in March. By June, the base connecting the blender container to the motor had rusted and emitted a burning smell. It was comepletly burnt out! I used it to make the recepies Montel featured in the books that come with it. THAT IS ALL I DID WITH THIS THING!!! Stay away! this is a big ripoff! I am gonna get a Vitamix
