Cuisinart SBC-1000FR Blend and Cook Soup Maker, (Renewed)

I wonder if the manufacturer warranty is more than 9 months - so we can have it repaired?We purchased it in Jan 2022 - and it worked well. It has less power than our previous blender, but putting boiling water and setting 30 minutes of cooking was enough to cook squash soup. This morning it stopped working: just does not turn on, no power on light. We obviously tried to use a different socket, and other things from the manufacturer video - nothing helped...

Strong, easy use, easy clean. Had fun experimenting with soups, smoothies, and much more. Discovered I can make cream and red sauces in it. Made enchilada sauce from scratch with various chilies. Favorite so far was the New Mexico red or green chili sauce, sometimes called Anaheim or Hatch chilies. I can set it to cook and just press the stir button occasionally while cooking everything else for meals.

The media could not be loaded. I really like this blend they way it can blend and cook things at same is so amazing . One I thing I don’t like is the cleaning it you have tobe very careful but aside that I’m so in love with it .

I'm so in love with the cook-and-blend idea it pains me to complain, but, sentiment aside, here I go.First it's Really Heavy. Totally forgivable.But when I unboxed it, giddy with excitement, I read the manual cover to cover, and set the pitcher into the base, and pushed the power button.Nothing. It wouldn't turn on. I disassembled everything, pushed all the pins and buttons. I cried myself to sleep and came back to it the next day.I'm going into this much detail for a reason...I pushed the pins and levers and studied the gasket again. On the back side of the base unit there is a pin with a slot in it. It's the only part that absolutely must fit perfectly, and it's the only one that's made of plastic and it's black on black, very hard to see. Like I said the pitcher is heavy and mostly very dark. Gingerly lowering the pitcher onto the base, I felt like I was trying to bring the Starship Enterprise into the docking bay with no lights.On the underside of the collar there is a matching black pin that must fit into that slot. Even knowing this I lowered the assembled pitcher onto it multiple times before I heard just the right click and, unexpectedly, the power came on and the blender worked. Beautifully, I might add. I can't wait to make applesauce, peanut butter, custom soups and sauces, etc etc.

First of all, haven't had it long. So far we've found it cooks really well (hot, hot) and blends really well. We actually purchased it because of our positive experience with the brand. We have a well-used almost 7-year-old Cuisinart Griddler still going strong and hope this Blend and Cook can match that kind of workhorse standard.

Returning! This item did not even turn on. How is it sold as "renewed" when this basic function was clearly not tested? I see that other reviewers have reported the same thing and yet Amazon is still selling it! I will not trust "renewed" items again.

Good powerful blender.Stop working after a couple of months

So easy to use. I had soup on the table within an hour of receiving. What a great idea to have a blender that cooks too. Wish I had known about this years ago! I bought refurbished and it is just like new.

Arrived in perfect condition. Great product
