Customer Reviews on Oster Fusion Blender - BRLY07BBy Taylor in Georgia
I have never reviewed a product before. This blender is good enough to deserve my time.
Oster blenders are superior to begin with because most bases, including the Fusion, take a standard Mason jar lip. This allows the tremendous flexibility of buying a variety of sizes of jars (some spaghetti sauce jars work), filling them almost full (leave a little air), screwing on the blade and base, turning them upside down, and blending away. You don't have the problems several other reviewers mention of contents splashing up against the sides or of the air pocket forming at the bottom. If things are not mixing right, you just remove the jar, turn it rightside up, and either shake or, if that doesn't work, take the base/lid off and fix the problem. When you are done, no cleaning the big bowl; blend in the thing you want to drink out of. You can also, with half-pint Mason jars, grind up nuts and coconut and seeds and such. Buy a dozen Mason jars for cheap, make several batches of smoothies (or whatever) and freeze as you go.
I still plan to buy some Mason jars with handles!
I had my old Oster for a number of years, and it chugged along OK, with a little smell of plastic if I pushed it too hard. When it finally bit the dust I sprung for the Fusion.
The Fusion is worlds better. It has enough power to make smoothies fast that would stall my lower-powered Oster. The reversing blade substantially reduces the problem of fibers (esp. pineapple) getting stuck on the blade, which can kill the "cutting power." The Fusion six-point blade (not just more points, but more and more varied angles) also does a better job cutting things up and staying clear than the 4-point ice-cutting blade. So far I haven't felt I was "pushing" the Fusion's limit, even though I'm making thick frozen-fruit "green" smoothies.
Yes, it is loud. It is, however, not substantially louder than my old Oster, which made "laboring" noises the Fusion doesn't.
I have only had it six weeks, but am using it so much that it is now my number one kitchen item after the fridge and microwave.

My husband bought this as a combo food processor/ blender.
It does not do a good job at either task. It will blend smoothies and milkshakes, but most everything else gets caught in the blades, so only the food very close to the blades gets blended. 90% of the container never blends. So then you have to stick a spatula or knife to depress the food, which is mighty dangerous.
Cleaning is a HUGE hassle.
For blending, now I use my kitchenaid immersion blender. And I am on the hunt for a proper food processor.

I admit I have not had this long, but I have put it to the test. I have "burned up" 4 blenders in 7 years. The last one was a 500 watt Black and Decker that I only had about a year. I decided I finally had enough and it was time to put money into one of those expensive, mega-power ones (vitamix, k-tec)....until I saw some side by side comparison tests on youtube. Go look. I watched a KithenAid outdo some high end...well...look for yourself. Maybe you can save your money.
I disagree with the reviewers who have complained of the noise. It is a 600 watt blender. You can expect that the more powerful the blender, the noisier it will be. Still, I did not think the noise level was bad at all! Neither did my family.
I prepare raw foods, so I need something more powerful. I saw this at WalMart (I know, but I was desperate)and was surprised to find a 600 watt blender there. After all, I had just left Ollies and Lowes and all they had was a 500 watt or less. I make lots of almond milk and a consistent problem I noticed (during my 15 years of making it) was incomplete grinding of the nuts. That does not happen with this blender. Another problem I've had consistently...frozen banana chunks that somehow escaped the blade when making my almond-banana milk shakes. How in the world??? Not a problem anymore. Big bits of soaked date still in there...not any more! I have chopped onions coarsely, ground sunflower seeds, made pate', blended raw green soup with whole collard greens (perfectly smooth, too!) and lots of milk and shakes. I could not be more impressed!
I think that the difference between this blender and ALL others is the blade. Be careful..it's really sharp! And I think that Oster could give every other blender out there a run for it's money. Yes, really. It's multi-functional with it's pre-programmed Food Chopping and Frozen Drink settings. Just push a button and it does the rest...and stops when it's done! Still has slow to fast blending and pulsing. It's effective. It's low cost (got mine for about $56). I like that the blender jar is glass. And get this, Oster is soon coming out with a 700 watt blender. Wish my old one had made it a little longer!
I cannot attest to the longevity of the blender..yet. I will come back and update though. No problems yet and I am completely impressed so far. I have not tried to grind any grains with it.
It's one heck of a blender for the money!

Just to let you know I have not had any problems YET!!! Will let you know if that changes. But I gave it a one star rating just to let you know that I just bought it from Walmart yesterday for only $59.00.

Blends well, but the sound can wake the dead two houses down the street. You really do need ear protection when using this blender.
