Is the drive shaft of this model stil connected with a plastic piece? This seemed to be that failed the quickest in the previous model, the CSB-76.

Yes. I've had no trouble with this. I love this blender; it's great for making soups.

First of all, I believe you have the model numbers reversed. Secondly, the answer is yes. Thirdly, the plastic gear appears to be husky enough. Fourthly, I think the trick is not to overload the blender.

Just to add my two cents, as John said it is the same coupling--in fact we are using our old blade assembly with the new unit since the new blade seems to splash a lot more (why would they do that?!). Our old coupling was indeed the part that broke, necessitating the replacement, but it happened after years of regular service when we accidentally tried to blend a metal spoon with it. So to agree again with John, I think if you stick with blending non-metallic objects it should last a reasonably long time.

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

I ordered one late last year and didn't have any problem. The motor pulled the plastic down just fine.

Hi there,Sorry I have no idea on this one. Not had that problem. I guess you've tried lubrication. Maybe some dirt stuck in the shaft?Best wishes Richard

Unless I got shorted, It is a plastic housing with steel drive wheels. I will post a picture with my review.

Mine is an old 103. At first the belt worked well; then the pulley itself broke - on one side, a piece broke off straight across above the shaft bore. Apparently the belt was stressing the outer rim of the pulley where it rides. So now I have to find a new 1/2" shaft pulley...

On mine, the ice dump tray broke where it connects to the actuator. The actuator shaft is metal but connects to a weak plastic piece on the tray. Great machine but poor design with the tray. Company should do a recall for the part if they care about producing a quality product.

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

I got a brand new one and it didn't last that long. I think gears inside are made of plastics (that's why it's easy to break) and I was't able to fix it.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

We had the same problem with this one. Took it in to the local DeWalt dealer 6 months ago who replaced the chuck with a different style one. Haven't had any problems with it since.

Yes. I am trying to locate someway of having it replaced by Dewalt. Pain in the arse! It happens when you let go of the trigger suddenly and the brake kicks in and opens the chuck. Bad design.

no,only if you buy new, but here's a hint , don't buy this brand, it's crap, has a plastic drive shaftwill only last about 10 minutes

Funny timing on this question.. had my mower bout 9 months used probably 10 times.. thought gear box had gone south but was just adjustment..was looking at it 15 min ago. so i know the belt from the power shaft drives a gear box but cant confirm if steel or plastic gears.. my guess would be plastic tho as pretty sure gears inside wheels are plastic. But as a side note i do like the mower - plenty of power and lightweight easy to push around trees and such and cuts pretty well.. though if you buy be sure to check that the front axle is correctly positioned and fully locked by tabs near each wheel. mine wasn't but was easy to correct once i saw what was wrong. hope that helps..

After a year of very little use, my BD 390 would not eject a disk. I took it apart and took the disk player out of the unit. When I manually opened the player (slide on bottom) to remove the disk, a broken rubber belt also came out. It's now obvious why the drawer won't open and close (belt drive is broken). Can I buy a new belt or do I have to buy a new unit?

Does the drive socket on the base look worn? If it isn't, then replacing it may not make a difference. Hard to say for sure. I replaced mine after it got worn from the kids repeatedly removing the pitcher before the motor had completely stopped spinning and rocking the pitcher while it was blending. The gear on the bottom of the pitcher didn't wear much but the drive socket got somewhat chewed up near its top. It seemed like the pitcher's gear wasn't fully engaging it and it was noisier than when we first got it. Replacing the drive socket fixed it for my blender.
