Product DescriptionGive your kitchen a modern appliance with retro styling. Enjoy healthy fruit smoothies in the a.m. and less innocent beverages in the p.m. The continuous speed and pulse along with a stainless steel cutting blade will have your ingredients chopped, blended, and purEed in next to no time.
Amazon.comPowered by a 500-watt motor, this classic blender blends margaritas and smoothies, mixes soups and sauces, chops fruits and vegetables, grinds coffee beans and nuts, grates cheese and coconut, and crushes ice. The blender has a high speed and a low-speed pulse control, which can be held down for continuous action. Its 40-ounce, ribbed-and-tapered glass container fits onto Oster's distinctive beehive-shaped base, which is clad in lustrous chrome and outfitted with slip-proof rubber feet. Its stainless-steel blade-assembly removes for cleaning, and the container is calibrated in both ounces and liters. Fully assembled, the blender stands 16 inches high on a 7-1/4-inch-diameter base. With the exception of the dishwasher-safe glass container, all parts--including the plastic lid with its plastic 2-ounce measuring insert--require hand washing. The blender carries a one-year warranty against defects, and its instruction booklet includes dozens of recipes. --Fred Brack
excellent but NOISY (Rating: 4 out of 5) this blender is heavy-duty and powerful and my only complaint is the noise. I have to cover my ears when I use it but it only takes up to 30 seconds to crush 6 ice cubes for my smoothies when my old one left big chunks of ice no matter how long I had it running. I recommend this blender above all others because it's sturdy, strong, and relatively small compared with other blenders in the same power range. buy this one and you will love it!
It does the job but the plastic smell sucks (Rating: 2 out of 5) The outlook really makes you think this is some cheapy machine. What's worse, the plastic cap emits the smell as most low quality plastic does, which makes me doubt whether it is harmful to my health.
The blade is powerful and does the work.
a real workout-for you (Rating: 1 out of 5) I've had this blender for several years and basically find it messy (the base either doesn't screw on tight and stuff oozes out or you put it on so tight you have to have a gorilla grip to remove it for washing.) To make the experience more "enjoyable," stuff oozes out the top as the cap has a plastic piece that detaches I suppose for cleaning. But most aggravating of all is the fact that it has NO POWER and it takes major muscle (yours) and about 20 minutes (plus the burning smell) to try to make fruit smoothies with 1/2 frozen fruit. It struggles with my oatmeal cottage cheese blend, it struggles with squash soup - for crying out loud! It doesn't do a good job AT ALL of pulling the top product to the bottom for blending and that's where the unfortunate user has to mash and mash and mash the night away.
Me finally make squirrel smoothie. (Rating: 5 out of 5) Sasquatch have trouble buying blender before so me read much this time. When me get package me know me be happy. Me get lid. Me get sharp thing. Me get thing that make much noise. Me even get glass. Now me have extra glass. Sasquatch happy to say that blender make delicious squirrel smoothie that not have chunks. This very refreshing on warm day. Me happy with blender.
Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Chrome
Great Blender! (Rating: 5 out of 5) This blender is amazing! It works so well. Crushing frozen berries is absolutely no problem for this machine. With our old blender it was obviously working really hard when we put frozen stuff in it, but with this one you don't even realize that there is anything frozen in it. It just blends so smoothly and effortlessly. It also looks really nice, and I really prefer the glass pitcher to the plastic ones. It is really loud though, but considering how well it works I think it's worth it. Definitely worth every penny spent, and i would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a good blender.
