@JourneymanGeek yep. Repeat deceleration and material fatigue.
I would have ordered the stick blender alone, but the combo pack was the better value for money. So I have a bit of spare equipment and a book that I don’t really need but that may inspire the minors - show me the teen that isn’t tempted by blending a cool drink.
The old one works perfectly fine, but the missing prong / foot thingy means that it will tip over and needs to be used with extra care. (Will put it in storage, not throw it away.)
