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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
