Did My Blender See Its' Last Smoothy?

Tweet

My husband wanted a protein shake. I was more than happy to make one for him. With his choice of fruits and the right amount of protein protein added to the blender, we were all set. No problem so far. I shut off the blender then tried turning it on for just a few seconds to give it one final mix and ...... nothing - no power. I thought it was dead. The indicator lights on the control panel were all blinking at once. Oh well. I had a very good blender for about eight years or so. I suppose it's time to shop for a new one. Thankfully, I didn't throw any of the parts away because the very next day, we were up and running without any issues at all. Without actually doing any type of formal diagnosis, I'm about 99 % certain that there was a little power surge. A light in our utility room was acting up at the very same time. The two outlets are very close to one another so I believe that they are on the same circuit. Now both the blender and the light are running just fine. Hopefully I'll get another eight years or more from my blender. After an ordeal like this one, I probably should give the blender a name. Any suggestions?
