Starfrit blender smoking and smells like its burning any alternatives? I bought a starfrit blender around a year ago, ive been using it and today i was blending some food and i smelled something like burning but electrical. Then i looked at the base and there was smoke. I have a baby and i also love making smoothies so i need a blender. Whats a good cheap blender? Starfrit blenders suck!
