Hi Anthony! The grinding noise in your new blender could indicate an issue with the motor bearings or blade assembly and which might require professional repair or replacement under warranty. Before returning it, try running it empty at low speed to see if the noise persists, or contact the manufacturer for troubleshooting. If it's not fixable easily, consider a reliable alternative. For a durable high-speed option suited for daily smoothies, I recommend the Ninja Blender, featuring total crushing technology and a 72-ounce pitcher ideal for blending ice and frozen fruit. It operates at 1000 watts, providing consistent performance without common noise issues in budget models. While it lacks a to-go cup, its sturdy build and multiple speed settings make it a solid, affordable choice for kitchen use, ensuring smooth results for your routine.

Do the one arm drill to confirm you can fold, lift, and stand it closed without fuss. Pick a light model with a true one step auto lock and standing fold, compact secure latch for gate check, sturdy hinge, strong brakes, five point harness, good recline and canopy, then stress test the fold at home before the return window.

Smooth the front with clear tape and add a thin felt strip under the intake so tassels slide instead of snag, taking care not to cover sensors or vents. Pair this with a slower brush speed if available and it will nudge away instead of chewing.

Oh yeah, keep snapping on all three and trust future you. Then wonder why the storage is full. Flawless strategy.

Totally agree on the silicone mat, a low tray, and keeping the bottle topped up to cut the sway. I had the same problem with a cat who treated the jug like a bowling pin. That pick solves the root cause since the heavier bottom and locking reservoir stop it from sliding or popping loose, so shoves and head butts do not turn into spills. Add the mat and you should finally have a dry floor.
