Put my Kitchen Aid to shame!
By zac thomas
It’s sweet! Feels a bit cheap in the controls, plastic buttons but who cares. The jar, sharp blades, lid are all precisely like my parents Osterizer they got for their wedding in the 60′s (which is still going strong). I make smoothie-whey protein shakes every day (juices, yoghurt, apple sauce, whey protein, ice cubes, frozen strawberries-blackberries-blueberries, flax seed) all this stuff fills it to the top and the Oster made short work of it. Ten seconds or less. I think I held it running longer just because I was employed to my Kitchen Aid blender that I ran at multiple speeds plus pulse and still had chunks left over.
Anyway, it’s cheap, it’s basic, it works better than high dollar blenders. I blend daily, I’m totally happy. ’nuff said.

Oarwe blender actually works.
By G. Speck
Purchased this to replace a Procter Silex blender I just purchased that does nothing. The Osster blender will take ice cubes and make it as fine as snow. Makes smoothies that are smooth. Bought this on Consumer Reports best buy rating, and it is great.

I love it!
By N. Daniel
This blender does all that Consumer Reports said it does. It crushed ice superbly and ha all the power one might want, the metal drive unit seems very sturdy, and it is a outstanding all-round blender. CR said it wasn’t as good at making icy drinks as others they tested, but the only problem I found was that the ice does not get exclusively blended in, in particular if multiple cubes are added at once. I found it was less of a problem if each ice cube is added singly and blended well before adding the next one. However. when making just crushed ice, it will handle multiple ice cubes at a time (just be sure to use pulse mode and don’t over-crush unless you want slush).
The user instructions suggest using the little clear plastic top for measuring, but it is not labeled with any lines or amounts. The glass pitcher is sturdy and has a wide pouring lip, and I like the side projections which prevent the bottom from loosening for the duration of blending. It is marked with 1-cup (and 250 ml) graduations; intermediate amounts may be guessed at, but if you want exact intermediate measurements, you will have to use a measuring cup.
Overall it’s a genuinely good value for the price.
