Joinaman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi there hope this is in the right place have been using Otto blenders in the shop to make ice drinks, but have found that they don't last long before they start to leak from the actual bearings sections have phoned and e mailed Otto about replacement jugs but they don't seem to want to know, just seem to want us to buy new machines, but am on my 4 th machine in less than 2 years the actual machines are fine, but the it's the jugs that fail is there anyway that these could be sealed? or if not, does anyone know where I could buy new jugs for the machines thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Otto are the cheapest of the cheap, there will be no warranty for commercial use anyway. Correct response, buy commercial grade machines. Since this is DIY try taking apart the bearing and see if it's possible to replace the wear surfaces.

Joinaman Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 thanks Crossy Not sure about the cheap though paying between 1500 and 2,000 for them'have large 1500 watt motors so seem to be heavy duty No problems with the machine itself, it just seems to be the bearing part Have bought a different make from Makro, the dearest they do at around 3500, so will see if that lasts any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Buy a Philips. Only 600 watt, but it's a reliable brand. Perhaps there is a higher wattage available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMartinHandyman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Have you ever removed the blade and cleaned the rubber gasket under it by removing the silver retaining ring on the underside then reassembled it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 banggood.com has some goood commerci8al grade blenders, but they are not cheap! https://www.banggood.com/G7600-Blender-with-Tamper-EUUS-Plug-2800-W-AC220V240V-6L-Adjustable-Speed-Efficient-Power-Juicer-p-1332770.html?gmcCountry=TH&currency=THB&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_elc&utm_content=2zou&utm_campaign=pla-all2-th-en-pc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu4vPq6re3QIViQsrCh1cJAspEAQYAiABEgJ5CPD_BwE&ID=516468224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial grade blenders seem to run over 20k here. Even the model you have is not the most expensive Otto versions (which as said are home use type units - more powerful motor just means it can cut ice better - not that it is designed for daily usage in a shop). It seems you are getting good value from what you have if they do the job - have you checked Ebay or person in US or other western country for buying spare containers? Years ago was able to buy here (I think it was Otto) but next time needed was not. Western countries are much more likely to have spare parts available (as people can actually make money selling them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
