To meet production costs the mfr clearly had to cut back on the quality from their top of the line blender, but, I have to say, they maintained very good quality where it really matters. The jar is good, thick glassware. The base fits well and the gasket is good quality material and provides a good seal. Most importantly, the drive shaft from the base to the blades is metal to metal, not plastic like a lot of blenders in this price range. The top fits solidly without any sign of leaking. The switches feel inexpensive but are easy to operate. The label on the front is an inexpensive stick on and may lift off over time. The speed range is good. I bought this to have a good low speed range and I'm happy with this. I have not tried anything that would require high power so I can't comment on that. I would highly recommend this blender unless you need to do some serious chopping. It may work for this application but I don't have any experience to make a recommendation.
I replaced a very expensive, hard to assemble, hard to clean contraption with this magnificent blender. I have always found Oster appliances to excel and this is no exception. I use it every morning to make my smoothie. It easily crushes the ice and makes a delicious smoothie - effortless!
I have been using this blender for preparing smoothies and I am very satisfied with its performance. It chops everything, including hard ingredients like raw beets. It is very easy to take apart for cleaning and fits in a small counter top space. It looks durable but I have not used it long enough to rate it. The glass jar is definitely a plus for me because it can be kept clean and odor free.
I love this blender. I use it everyday for my drink. I use 4 ice cubes and it crushes them in 2 pulses. It is so fast and so sharp. I had a Kitchenaid for years. All my appliances are Kitchenaid, but this is better than that, and I payed A LOT more for my old blender. Rethinking expensive brand names now.
This is a great value. Bought it to make iced frappes and smoothies. Crushes the ice fast. I read all the online reviews and decided on this blender because it met my needs and the price was right. It's a good looking machine. Easy to use. Very happy. It even has an ice crusher button on it. I used the site to store and it came within a few days and was so easy to pick up.
It's fine if you are on a tight budget like I was when I bought it. The thing I don't like is the fact that it makes my smoothies frothy (bubbly), I'm pretty sure that froth causes gas or something; for me it just makes it hard to drink it with the froth. Soon I will be investing in a more powerful brand if I continue to make smoothies. Right now I make 1 a day. I read online that sometimes the cheaper blenders force air into the machine causing the froth and this may cause the fruit and veggies to lose its quality....just saying.
Pro:The glass blend bowl is easy to clean and the metal gear under the blend blades meshes well with the motor spindle. The unit is powerful and blends very well. There is a wide selection of speed choices. Con: Unit is very noisy, vibrates very strongly (even the speed control button are vibrating), and wants to dance across the counter.
It is a powerful blender fore the money. Has no problem blending frozen or fresh fruit, greens, or ice. There is an apparent design flaw, as the motor is not secured within the base and rattles around. This leads to an incredibly loud blending experience. This also gives me doubt as to how long the blender will last.
It leaves a cheap feeling. The bottom is too small and if you blend just fruits and veggies for a smoothie, you may have troubles starting, as there is an empty space under them and the knives rotate in vain. Also motor smells bad and you have to control the speed through the different modes manually. Compared to my old one, this one is a trouble.
Poor quality! Already came with a plastic base that makes the engine inside its broken! This plastic is terrible and has no mechanical resistance. The quality level of Ostem is falling .....
