I swear to God, could they "possibly" have made this any louder ?? Even on the lower speeds, this blender is extremely loud, and the sound is annoying.
I only use it to make protein shakes, and it does a great job of that, and the 12 speeds are great, but good grief, the sound. It reminds me of a leaf blower.

So, it's Friday night, and I'm doing my usual round of cooking. (We cook on Friday night--feel free to make the usual inferences.) Anway, I'm just tearing my hair out because I can't find cheap gluten free flour. The project for this evening was rice flour.
I tried a food chopper. Not nearly fine enough, not even with the help of a flour sifter. Tried my coffee grinder. Not fine enough, and forget the flour sifter--dust, everywhere, all over the kitchen, and in the coffee grinder, little rice chips.
Then, I thought, um.....well, supposedly you can grind flour in a blender.
So, I poured half a bag of rice (short grain only, darlings--it doesn't work with long grain) into the blender, and pushed "grind". Seven minutes later, "ta da", rice flour. (Use an old fashioned flour sifter, preferably after the fact, preferably outside, so you don't get flying rice chips everywhere. Also, don't try to grind more than a cup at a time. It works much better in small batches.)
It's not a whole lot of flour, though, and it's hard to sift out the bigger chips. I baked an entire loaf of bread with this--but I'm not sure it's worth the effort, once you've spent hours cleaning rice flour from your floors.

WE ORDERED THIS BLENDER TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS BROKEN AND THE PRICE AND VALUE OF THIS BLENDER WAS GREAT. IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IT REPLACED AND ENTIRE FAMILY IS PLEASED WITH ITS OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR A NICE HOUSEHOLD BLENDER. SHAVES ICE NICELY ALSO!

I received this blender as a wedding gift several years ago. It doesn't blend very smoothly -- to avoid lumps, I have to frequently stop blending, stir the ingredients, and start blending again. It also doesn't blend things quickly. The worst thing about this product, though, is the noise: it is ridiculously loud (the disc sander, power drill, and other power tools in my home are all quieter!). The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that it has lasted several years without frying completely (though this may be too generous, as I only use it rarely and the motor smells burnt when operating).

My grandmother had the same Oster blender since the 60's and it still works great. I recently bought this and was skeptical when I saw that Oster and Sunbeam or part of the same conglamourate. I stupidly threw the box and reciept out and my blender just went out in a blaze of non-glory. It was frustrating to keep poking at smoothies with a spoon so they would mix but now the whole thing just died after a month or about 5 smoothies. What's worse is I was using crushed ice instead of cubes to cut down on the work the wimpy motor needed to do anyway. Also the buttons were just for decoration I guess because it only had one speed. Save your money.
