I have that one. In my wanting to keep it on the counter, I forgot
about it. I bought the kitchenaid one today. .The red one was on sale
for $29.90 at Fry's.

The lower attachement (to make smoothie) woudn't connect to the upper
one anymore - I could get a replacement. I was happy using the cup for
onion and garlic but I dropped it and broke a small piece off the
round base. I put them all in one of the higher cabinet in the kitchen
when I moved here and forgot about it. I am keeping the kitchenaid
though. It's more roomy to scoop onion/garlic out. I have "magic
chef" which comes with a smaller cup but the onion gets too liquidy
like a puree.
