$45 for the blade/gasket assembly !?!?!? You could buy TWO blenders for this price! And the Cuisinart CBT-500 is NOT WORTH IT either !!!
Our Cuisinart blender started to labor and make unpleasant noises. Inspection revealed that the blades weren't turning freely. Attempts at lubrication with WD-40 improved things for a while, but it was an ongoing battle.
A replacement blade assembly solved the problem, made it work like a new blender again.
I think the mistake we made before was putting the blade assembly through the dishwasher. I believe this dries up the lubrication and shortens its life. From now on, rinse and air dry.
