 "I'm a believer!" 2009-07-27
By G. Fredette (Signal Hill, CA)
When these things came out years ago I thought to myself "HUH? Why would I even consider putting out money for this?" Well, here we are a decade or so later and I've heard all the food experts saying "You can't live without one of these in your kitchen." I'm still thinking "Are these people on crack?"

Well, this weekend a co-worker gave me a bunch of over ripe tomatoes from her garden. I took them home and decided the ONLY thing that could be done with them was to make sauce. I blanched them yesterday and boiled them down and threw them into the refrigerator thinking that I'd do something with them today. I got up this morning and decided I'd make chicken cacciatore. I decided to go to get one of these gadgets and see how it worked.

I pulled the boiled down tomatoes out of the fridge and heated them up. I popped this thing in and started it up. HOLY COW! I was amazed! I ended up with the most beautiful tomato sauce I have ever made! The consistency is that of the best store bought sauce you can buy, minus the odd plasticy look after receiving the dies and perservatives that go along with those sauces. I'm sold on this product.

I haven't used the chopper or the cup. I'm not a chopper, the only way your ever going to get chopped anything is to do it by hand... any powered appliance is going to give you pureed or powdered product with chunks... nothing beats chopping by hand and I certainly do not have an aversion to using a good chefs knife to chop my produce or nuts or whatever. If you want it to look good and taste good you are just going to have to take the time to do some things by hand. It's the attention to detail and the love that you put into it that makes a simple dish taste like HEAVEN to those who are consuming it. If you're trying to cut corners or save time then it will show not only in the look, but the taste as well. Food should never be thrown together, take time to get to know your food and it will serve you well. Not only in the nutrients that your body will derive from it, but the compliments and respect of your friends, family and guests.

 "Too heavy" 2009-07-24
By Betty Jo (Sacramento CA)
I took this out of the box and it was too heavy for a hand blender. The heaviness made it uncomfortable. I've had hand blenders before, and they were light and easy. Because of that, I didn't even try to use it. I am going to return it and keep looking for a better one.

 "Chopper hard to use" 2009-05-31
By J. Moore (Alamogordo, New Mexico USA)
I had an earlier model of the Oster system and thought this one would work as well as my older system did. It does not. The chopper attachment's lid is difficult to close and lock into place. Struggled with it for about ten minutes before I could get it closed. Otherwise it worked fine. Would not recommend this to a friend.

 "doesn't chop" 2009-05-05
By foxylady
Doesn't chop, Vegy's get stuck under blade and blade won't turn. This is not designed properly. If blade was spinning and there was an opening to throw vegys in this would work. Don't buy it

 "Missleading discription.... Avoid this product" 2010-07-22
By T. Schnur (Sunnyvale, CA United States)
This item is described as "... black bakelite plastic..." with a picture of the original package. However, what was delivered was the cheap plastic knockoff of the type currently being sold by the mfg, but is in no way as thick and durable as the original Bakelite cap. It is not delivered in the original package as the seller implies by the picture, and I don't believe it is even manufactured by Oster. AVOID... It won't last long!

 "Just what I needed." 2010-07-09
By Susan Robinson
Great price and just what I needed. Didn't have to buy a whole new blender thanks to you. Thanks!

 "Just the part I needed" 2010-06-26
By David Burg (Bellevue, WA USA)
It's just the replacement part I needed. My wife twisted the original piece too strong while having the thread mis-aligned, causing the plastic to break. Now I have a new part and a spare as well.

 "Happy with blender cap." 2010-05-26
By Mary Penn
I was very pleased with the new blender cap that I received. It's installation made use of my blender possible again and my husband and children were thrilled to be able to make whipped drinks again.

 "The replacement is much better than the original" 2010-03-11
By Gautam
When the original jar bottom was broken for apparently no reason within a few days, I felt very disappointed. I was thinking of returning the Blender. Then, after reading the reviews I came to know it is a common problem and I ordered a Jar bottom from Amazon. When it reached, I could very easily differentiate between the original one and the replacement one. The new one looks much more durable, thick and a good quality plastic. It has been over a month I am using that and I am happy with this.

 "Wonderful!" 2010-06-24
By Linda (Springboro, OH USA)
My husband and I use a blender almost every day for protein shakes. The Oster has always been very dependable and works beautifully. Oster is a great brand and doesn't disappoint.

 "Great Blender, lousy cap." 2008-11-17
By Eclectico (Dallas, TX United States)
The other day, I was blending for a pie and trying to make sure the lid was on snug, so I wouldn't throw pumpkin all over the walls. My thumb touched the plastic cap in the center and it fell in, ground up and got little minced plastic cap all in my pie mix.

So, Beware. The Oster blenders either have a rubber square lid or a rubber cloverleaf lid, but all of them have that same plastic cap in the center. The rubber lid bends and the cap has all the room in the world to drop through.

Oster has always made great kitchen products. That is why it came as something of a disappointment to see such a shoddy design.

 "They don't make them like they used to" 2006-12-29
By Vanessa36 (Boston, MA)
My Mother had an Oster blender from the 1970's for over 30 years and it worked great until the last few years. So I went and bought her a new one but it was terrible and had an awful burning smell. So I thought there was a defect just in that particular blender, and I returned it and foolishly got another one. The new one is just as bad and since I bought it at Filene's (which closed) I can't even return it. I bought a KitchenAid recently and even though it was $100.00 it was worth every penny. It's wonderful! I will never buy another Oster product again. I was so disappointed. I don't understand what happened to the quality of their product and it's interesting that other people have had the same experiences.

 "Not terrible - just not that very good" 2006-11-27
By robert gourmet
Doesn't crush ice too well. Leaves small chunks. Stuff on the top doesn't make it down to the blade. I got this thing to make stuff like frozen margaitas, but it just doesn't blend the ice and the mix and alcohol into a smooth drink. I predict the item will hit the garbage when I find one to take it's place. I think I will give Hamelton Beach a try

Forget about this one. Not worth it regardless of price. Very disappointed.

 "junque" 2006-03-03
By Marisa (Illinois)
2 stars because it did crush ice, and because the store where I bought it let me bring it back, so I'm not bitter.
however:

-after the first use, the motor smelled like burned rubber

-the glass jar doesn't lock or snugly "fit" in the casing when you use the blender - it just sort of sits there flimsily

-all those buttons - does anyone know what all of these subjective sounding functions mean, or how many of them - "mix" vs. "blend," "liquefy" vs. "purefy," - even differ from one another?

Keep your 12 buttons and give me an old-fashioned, 1 or 2 speed, solid kitchen appliance.

 "Mediocre Blender" 2010-08-05
By midwest doc (ohio)
Bought this blender form Bargain Buddy. Lightweight construction, motor unit is plastic and cheaply constructed. Similar to my last Oster blender that literaly fell apart when the fan blade inside the motor housing flew off...biggest draw back is the cord is VERY short, say 12". so you are limited to where you can use the blender, unless you want the hassle of providing an extension cord. THere are better blenders out there

 "Tippy Blender" 2010-07-31
By Brent Hughes (Gig Harbor, WA USA)
We love Oster blenders and always have. Our old Cuisinart gave up the ghost (plastic coupling for the blades -- see my other reviews) so we bought this at Costco for $29.99. Looks nice, works nice but the stand is not wide and / or heavy enough and it very tippy to the front. We promptly returned it and went with a different Oster blender, one with a heavier and wider base.

Aside from that, it seemed to work well and was just as noisy as all of the other Oster blenders, but it is quieter than our old Cuisinart.

This is NOT the one that was reviewed by Consumer Reports. If you actually read the CR article, you will see it is ONLY available at Bed, Bath and Beyond...

 "Happy With My Blender" 2010-06-26
By DJ Shopper
I read the reviews on Consumer Reports and decided to purchase this blender and it works wonderfully. I have had no problems making smoothies, which is the main reason I bought it. The price was right and does the job.

 "Not the CR pick" 2010-06-01
By Stu (Mesquite, NV)
The previous reviewer is mistaken. This is not the CR model that was rated highly. Furthermore, CR objects to its reviews being used commercially. There is a model of Oster that fits the parameters listed by the previous review, however I would urge any consumer to get the CR issue in question and make sure the proper model number is the one they buy.

 "CR winner" 2010-05-09
By E. Price (Uneeda, WV USA)
June 2010 issue of CR it ranked 3rd out of 39 blenders, and the 2 ranked higher were in the $400+ range.

 "Better than expensive blenders and even better than my old one" 2009-07-04
By Ms Elainey Us (Seattle, WA, USA)
I finally had to replace my ancient Oster blender and I shopped for a long time. This model didn't have much in the way of comments but it's a great little machine. It's an update on my old model with some nice additions. Looks great with new appliances and works better than the old one.
