Very Loud and no parts available

We purchased this blender with a good discount so we were happy.
However we discovered that the blender is very loud, for a small apartment it was an issue, we had to use ear plugs. Still we decided to keep using it thinking we could compromise and relocated the blender to the open area of the kitchen at the bar, still it was loud.
On the good side the blender was powerful, looks nice and it's easy to use. The locking system is easy to use and you can't miss the place where to sit the vase.
On the bad side as I stated it's very loud and the end of the story was when the blade got stuck and it started to smoke while being used. I did some research and it looks to be a common problem with this model. The ball bearings under the blade get stuck and they brake. We tried to find parts, even generic parts and we couldn't find them anywhere, not online, or any store. We finally contacted the manufacturers, located in Canada and they stated that currently they were out of parts in stock. End of the story we returned the blender to Best Buy under the warranty, got store credit and bought a Ninja blender. Best decision ever!

Enjoy a world of entertainment with Google Chromecast. Just connect to your HDTV's HDMI interface and your home Wi-Fi network to get started. You can stream your favorite apps from your compatible phone, tablet or laptop, plus use your phone as a remote to search, play and pause content.

I purchased Chromecast because I have a Samsung TV and wanted to cast content mostly from my laptop. However all the devices we have are apple and it turned out to be very difficult to cast anything form the devices without having to download extensions, plug-ins or extra apps.
We tried it for a couple of weeks and decided it would be better to get apple TV.
In the end I could no really say more about the functionality and quality of the product because we didn't use it for a long time but decided to write a review hoping to help people like me with mostly apple devices to have a better idea. It's probably a great product for samsung/android/chrome users and I understand that most of the limitations in apple products compatibility are by design but the lower score I give it is not because of flaws but to inform apple users of this issue with compatibility.
