Customer Reviews on Oster 4096-009 Designer Series Beehive Blender, Chrome

 "Jar developed a thin crack line in a few months" 2010-07-29
By js95070
Only after a few months the glass jar developed a thin crack line. I called the services line but was told the jar is not covered by the 1 year warranty. This never happened to me with other brands. I guess it's time to me saying good bye to all Oster products.

 "Poor construction on parts" 2010-07-14
By Kay
After reading mostly positive reviews I thought I would give this blender a try. Very quickly the sealing ring was shredded which other reviewers had mentioned happened to them as well. Now the plastic base is now cracked once again rendering the blender useless. In six months time, with limited use I wouldn't expect this poor quality from a blender that isn't cheap. I also don't like how the glass pitcher doesn't attached securely to the base. It will turn when the blender is on. You have to hold it in place. This one is being returned and I am trying a new blender.

 "Good product, but got the wrong model" 2010-06-28
By HSB
The blender is very good. However, it is not the one I ordered. I ordered the designer series, and they sent me the classic one. I did not return it because did not want to go throught the trouble. The classic works fine, but it is not that good if you plan to use it with frozen things, like frozen corn. For everyday blending it does a good job.

 "LOVE this blender!" 2010-06-20

I have been making smoothies with this blender for about a month now and I make around 3-4 smoothies a week. It is great! The bottom part is heavy and durable and the top glass part is very sturdy. My frozen fruit and ice smoothies are very smooth and delicious. I don't have any complaints yet!

 "Very powerful -- Easy to clean" 2010-06-06
By Alvin English (Southfield, Mi. United States)
I was looking for a blender with a lot of power and no hard to clean nooks and crannies. This blender serves my needs very well. I use it for green smoothies and frozen drinks. The Oster ice crusher blade is excellent at crushing ice and frozen fruit. The motor is extremely powerful, the smooth chrome body and sturdy glass jar are easy to clean. I am not worried about any electronics failing, because it has one simple toggle switch. I consider this machine a very good value.

P.S.

Sorry Vita-mix, I won't be spending $500 just to make green smoothies : )
