 "works great for the price" 2010-08-10
By kingskid
I read all the reviews before I purchased this blender and have to say they were spot on. I found the only thing that could have used some improvement was the flimsy base. Why would you cheap out on a plastic base??? Other than that its a great blender for the price.

 "Greatest Blender!!" 2010-08-02
By Sally
I love this blender! I make smoothies everyday with frozen strawberries, bananas, protein powder and juice and this blender does an amazing job. I was ready to throw our old blender out the window because it was so incredibly loud. I had to wear ear plugs. This new one is quiet and mixes everything up without leaving protein powder stuck in clumps to the side of the jar!

 "Only mixes thin liquids well." 2010-08-01
By Shock Writer (Knoxville, Tennessee United States)
Only mixes thin liquids well. Will NOT do ice creme shakes without much pushing of ice creme down dangerously near mixing blade. Smooth top mix blade will not do shakes either. Tends to leak since very very easy to thread it wrong when putting bottom on so it looks fine but is cross threaded though it went on smoothly but now LEAKS! Have had to clean up many many times. Finally threw mine out. Glass finally cracked when tightened well enough to not leak. Throat of mix glass is too big to let ice cream in.

 "Good blender at a resonable price!" 2010-07-31
By J. Evans (Tuscaloosa, Alabama)
Nice blender I think.. Seems to have lots of settings, speeds, etc., and does a fine job in mixing drinks with ice! I'd seen the recommendation from Cooks Magazine, and though this model is not the one

mentioned, I think it's close enough. I got the stainless base, and only wish it had been in brushed nickel and not so shiny. However, I do like the heavy glass, and the ease of selecting the speed. My only complaint, though minor, is that the lid seems mighty flimsly compared to the rest of the machine. I'd suggest NOT to fill too full with liquids and start at the highest speed, as it will leak and spurt around the lid on top. Start slow, and then increase the speed.

 "Very powerful blender" 2010-07-25
By T. Bemis (Atlanta)
We haven't had this blender very long, but it seems to really make great smoothies. Blows the doors off our old one, which was a Braun powermax. It is a bit loud, but I've never expected to own a quiet blender. The all metal drive system feels very sturdy. The plastic components on the Braun one broke a couple of times. Overall, the thing does what it's supposed to do, and does it much better than I expected.

 "Best Blender Ever" 2010-08-04
By ynot100
This blender is awesome does one thing and does it great.After several other blenders that all failed, I bought this Oster and this is the best of them all. This thing makes smoothies that are really smooth, I am very impressed.

 "broken twice in 2 years" 2010-08-03
By ranttz
Look around the net and you will find quickly that the blender is garbage and has a VERY high failure rate where the blade connect to the motor. Mine broke once, got a new blender...broke a 2nd time and was sent a cheap walmart model to replace it (they're not shipping original model any longer due to the defective design).

Too late if you bought one, but not too late to buy another brand...this is NOT a professional blender...it is a very cheap plastic mechanism housed in a cast metal box....don't be fooled like I was...
(sorry for the rant, but after having them send a $39 dollar replacement for my $130 'professional' blender, I'm a little hot)

 "Great Customer Service!" 2010-07-23
By David I. Wilkinson (Duluth GA)
Model # PST2. Looks the same as the BPST02-B and was sold as the Prof Blender 2 months ago. Great Blender till the bottom came off. I can grind grain w/ it up to a point (then I sift it and grind the large parts again). Grinds spices very well (all spice, cinnamon sticks and smaller spices). Makes great smoothies. Malts are better w/ the shake attachment which is sold separately.

About the bottom: The black plastic bottom's threads seem to have worn out. I've had the blender almost 2 months. The bottom just keeps turning and doesn't grip the glass base tight enough to hold it on. The last smoothie I made ended up all over the counter when I lifted the jar off the blender and the plastic bottom remained behind.

I've e-mailed Oyster. I'll update when I receive a reply.

4 hours later: No need to update at a later date. Their Customer Service Dept has already responded. A replacement bottom is on its way to my house. That's CUSTOMER SERVICE!

 "Great product for the price" 2010-07-10
By Rose Madder
Didn't have any problems with this blender, but I haven't used it much. I guess I am not too into smoothies. Very VERY loud though. Scares the crap out of me everytime I use it, but it blends everything I have put into it. Comes with some interesting recipes that might be worth trying! Good buy!

 "Frozen drinks" 2010-07-09
By AJo
I bought this blender to make frozen drinks (margaritas, daiquiris, etc.). Generally, the blender performs very well. The only problem I've encountered with blending is that if there is not enough free liquid (too much frozen fruit or ice), then no rotation occurs and you have to add liquid (water or mix) into the top. It is also extremely loud, but that's to be expected. Overall, it works well for what I bought it for.

 "Great blender!" 2010-08-12
By Erv Crain (from McKinney, Texas, United States)
I bought my Oster Classic Beehive blender in 1985. After 25 years of great service, she's still truckin'! So, why now am I writing a review? While ordering a replacement glass blender jar through Amazon, I was pleased (but not surprised) to read all the (mostly) positive reviews about the Classic. The complaints about how loud it is are accurate. But that's because it has a 500 watt motor, which is precisely why I bought this blender over two decades ago and why it's been so durable. I've never had a situation where the Classic has not been up to whatever blending task I've had to perform. There may be as good or even better blenders available today, but as for me: if it ain't broke, don't replace it!

 "2 speeds off and high" 2010-07-30
By Arctic lady (Alaska)
Good for smoothies, terrible for soup

Even with the lid tightly closed and my hand holding it down, the soup ran all over the counter

Could be improved with a low setting.

If the smoothie is too thick, the blender will dance around in a circle twisting the cord around it.

Must be used with hand holding down the lid.

Does make good smoothies.

 "Solid Metal Drive!!!" 2010-07-08
By Rezorcful
This blender is superb, it doesn't slow down... i just need the various blades. its a snap to clean just run it with some soapy water and wipe down the chrome. i gave it 4 stars because it doesn't dispense money... yet.

 "loud but GREAT!" 2010-07-08
By N. Leighton (Minnesota)
Love this blender. Works great, simple, one speed blender. But beware it is loud.

Other than that I would recommend it. Why how often do you really use the various speeds on other blenders? If your like me, I always go for the high speed anyway. Nice glass container. Simply a classic!

 "great blender for icey drinks and smoothies" 2010-07-07
By S. Resnick (brooklyn, ny)
this inexpensive blender has the stuff to make incredible smoothies and frozen drinks. i recently made gazpacho with it, however the blending was TOO good, as i like my soup a little chunky. i am very happy with this product so far: it's easy to clean and it's perfect for what i need a blender to do.
