We're rocking a Phillips XXL for a good while now. The handle broke off a couple of years ago and it was stupid money to replace such a small inconvenience so we are struggling along like the peasants we are. I've gave a few as presents over the years and no handle issues. Great unit, line the base with tinfoil and no mess.
Aldi have a version of that Ninja yoke for 99 euro that is supposed to be as good as the Ninja, can't go wrong with that kind of coin as a back up really, especially with the warranty.
