My blender does that now. I have to hold onto it while blending or it will vibrate right off the counter.
It would be nice if manufacturers could figure out ways to deliver more things that people really do want. I hate when I have a favorite item and it goes away. I find this happens most commonly with clothing--I like all cotton or hemp because of allergies. 100 percent cotton is getting more and more rare. 100 percent hemp is now nearly impossible to find, even on Canadian sites. I've noticed with several brands (Nike, Danskin, Walmart) that they will start a product 100 percent cotton and then the next batch will be 60/40 same style. Walmart merchandize does this on a regular basis, but most manufacturers to it. They use a lesser quality and don't lower the price. I'm sure most people don't notice, but I then spend hours trying to figure out which vendor still carries 100 percent cotton.
