We purchased this blender after a horrid experience with a good deal of Cuisianart mulit-speed blender that turned out to be a piece of … Originally I was attracted to all the bells and whistles, but after all that leaked on the original pouring, I realized we had a problem, Houston.
After cruising the ratings here, we purchased the basic, two-speed (read: go and pulse) GORGEOUS chrome beehive blender. Somehow we got the one that had the mini-jar for dressings, the feed processor, and milkshake blade with chrome cannister, all for less than the Cuisinart Multi-Function Mistake.
This thing kicks. I’ve made dressings in it, and it was done with ease and they were blended well. Most importantly, I’ve made assorted batches of adult drinks involving ice, and as long as you add the ice a few cubes at a time, it turns out utterly smooth (no ice chips hitting your teeth as you tip the glass).
I LOVE OUR OSTERIZER BEEHIVE BLENDER!!!! Simple is actually all you need in a blender. If it’s something that needs a bit of mixing, hit the pulse button as needed. If it’s severe mixing, turn it on. In my opinion, speed 3, 6, and 9 are not required. This does it all, and looks MIGHTY fine while doing it. If only we had the counter space to leave it out…….it’s SO pretty!!!!
Happy blending, anything!

We purchased this blender regarding 2 years ago, mainly based on price, simplicity of design and reviews from Amazon. After living with a high-maintenance Kitchen-Aid blender (all those little constituents to clean!), The Oster seemed liked the answer to our blender dreams. Unfortunately after weekly use merely for smoothies, it speedily became evident that this Oster was not like it is formidable ancestors…
The power is completely inadequate. Food constantly overwhelms the blade and any kind of blending totally stops. Close to it is 2-year birthday, it gave up the will to live – following a weird grinding noise, smoke came from the base and then…. nothing. And now, here we are, searching for a new blender.
