What's great about it: Powerful, cheap
What's not so great: It does not come with some cool fire flames decals on the sides
I got this blender last week and I've used to 5-6 times already. I dont know why everyone is complaining about the noise of this thing (?). It has a 450W motor of course it will be loud. If you have a car with 450HP would you think it would sound like a hybrid?? No, its powerful and loud. I like it like that. Great blender. Buy it.

What's great about it: Looks nice
What's not so great: Cheaply made
The first time I tried to use this, the base was cracked & the motor smelled like it was overheating. I tried to exchange it, but there were no more in stock, so I got a different model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Okay, but expected more
Customer Rating
3.0
This blender looks good and is made with quality. My complaint is that for the money, I would have expected better performance. I always have to use the highest setting to blend anything. It would have been okay with just an on/off switch. Smells hot if run it too long. Might return it if I have the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Chrome finish looks a bit cheap. Would look better with stainless or brushed finish.
Actually has more 'speeds' than is necassary. Is there really 16 different blender speeds needed? Other wise it is strong, durable and easy to use. This one was bought to replace the same, but older version, of the blender that worked great for 8 years of daily use. The old one stiull worked great except the teeth where the top half connected had worn almost smooth and began to slip! New model is extra fast crushing ice!

What's great about it: It makes soup
What's not so great: Annoying features and low quality components
So far this blender works for what we need it to. Mostly making soups and sometimes smoothies. Haven't tested out the ice crushing ability. Only complaints I have is that the off button is also the pulse button so you have to give it one more blast before it turns off, kind of annoying. Also that black plastic ring is worthless. I took it off and left it off. Speeds don't seem all that necessary. The middle speeds seem to all be about the same. For the price though I think it is worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too loud and takes forever to make smoothies

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Loud and not enough power
I thought the blender would look nice on the counter until I realized that the bottom of pitcher is made of cheap plastic (I purchased the blender online). The blender is the loudest I've had and it takes FOREVER to make a smoothie using frozen fruit. You have to add liquid or keep shaking the jar. It's going back ASAP!!

I would have given good rating but for flimsy plastic base which cracked after year, the o ring rubber also broke. Not very impressed. Though motor is still going strong but not the best. Having thick thing like ice cream will freeze it and it would budge until you dilute

What's great about it: This blender has a powerful motor.
I always look to buy devices with motors with large wattage ratings. When a person buys something with a small wattage rating it just burns out, then you have to replace it making the final purchase expensive. This Oster® blender is rated at 450 Watts whereas my 350 Watt blender has just smoked just when I didn't need the problem.

Fair blender but there are much cheaper ones out there.
You would not usually conisder on purchasing a blender how noisy it is. This one is very loud. In the mornings if you want to make a shake you could wake the whole house. You can not have a conversation near it.

What's great about it: It's ok
What's not so great: Takes a long time to blend frozen fruit
I've owned this blender for over 6 months, and I haven't had the best of luck with it. What drew me to it were the reviews on here; however, I haven't had the same results. I mainly use it to make fruit smoothies, so even if I'm using frozen fruit, slightly defrosted frozen fruit, or ice, it takes a VERY long time for it to blend/mix my smoothie (yes I include some liquid when I'm blending).
I hope everyone else continues to have better luck with theirs. Mine was a dud.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great blender for the price. It pulverizes anything you put into in seconds.
I use it mainly for protein shakes - ice and frozen fruits are no problem.
Nice looking too although the chrome finish base is actually plastic, still Im very happy with this purchase.

What's not so great: N/A
I absolutely love my new blender. I searched Google for ratings and specs and found that most people love this blender. Now I know why. My fruit & protein smoothies are quick and easy. This thing doesn't even wake my husband! My previous blender was a Hamilton-Beach 10-speed and THAT was loud. I promise that you will love this blender. I searched long & hard and found that most of every reviewer on various sites recommends this blender.

What's great about it: uh Helllllloooooo... EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: Not a thing
This blender has changed my life for the better! When i first bought it I was in a very deep rut... didn't want to go anywhere, do anything... spent my days just sittin around the apartment. Then one day, i had an idea... i would make a smoothie featuring bananas and strawberries... crazy, i know. Sounds easy enough... i went to the market bought some strawberries and bananas and fruti juice and brought them home... very excited! Then it happened...i was crushed with the realization that i no longer owned a blender... i was ready to give up. I moped around for a couple of days until i had a revelation... i could buy a brand new blender at Best Buy. I ran down the street to BB (drove actually... HELLLLLOOOOOO, it is like 3 miles away) and started to look for blenders (didnt know if they sold them or not). Because the store was organized so well... i was able to find the blenders aisle lickety split :) There were some really expensive ones there , stainless steel and everything and there were a couple of cheapies... all plastic, all the time. And then i saw this one... great looking, very attractive perfectly priced and the customer service rep assured me that it blends stuff. i was overjoyed! I grabbed it off the shelf and ran to the checkout line (literally ran). They rang me up and for some reason the price was even cheaper than posted on the shelf... this was MY DAY people! Anyway, i brought it home and made a smoothie... it was ok, tasted kinda bittter actually... i think cause i didnt remove the tops of the strawberries.... but what the hell, i got it done. Im still just hanging around the apartment but find myself thinking of going out and doing stuff more and more. The end.
