This blender does crush ice and makes my smoothies with ease (the recipe's in my book, Feeding the Kids!). I have even ground coffee with the blender a few times. Its motor is holding up well after around 2 years of heavy usage and washings in the dishwasher.

The other review mentioned leaking. The blender only leaks when you put the rubber gasket on below the blade attachment. It's an easy mistake to make--and an easy mistake to correct. There is a note engraved on the blade attachment showing just where to put the gasket, but it's not very noticeable unless you look for it.

My main complaint is that the lid of the blender is very poorly made and warped in the dishwasher. Also, the middle part of the lid fell into the blender and was pureed into my soup while I was blending it. That's a major design flaw. The lid is the main reason I give this product 3 stars.

Update: It finally died after about 4 years of fairly heavy usage. The motor still works, but the stem that spins snapped off. I did have to replace the rubber gasket, blades, lid and glass jar (my fault, I dropped it) over the years--but still, an OK blender for the price.

I paid more than this I think - great price. I really like this blender. It crushes ice with ease. Of course makes great smoothies...and even just put 3 ice cubes in with a cup of chocolate milk (low-fat)...blend it up good and it tastes like a milkshake. I bought the mini-jar and I like that too for grating flax seeds. And I got the Blend-n-Go cup.
No leaking here. As the other person stated...as long as you put the rubber gasket on right it is fine- seals tight. I like that Oster has so many replacement parts here on Amazon. Excellent product and will be back if it gives me trouble.

I love this blender. Oster makes really great blenders at a low price. Their motors are strong and the blade is sharp enough to crush ice. The all-metal drive means that you don't have to worry about it breaking down any time soon. The plastic jar is better than the glass ones because they are lighter and won't shatter and break when you drop it since it's break-resistant.

The blender works fine but due to a design flaw the plastic part of the lid can fall into the blender. Do not count on Oster customer service if this happens, when it happened to me they wanted $8.00 to send me a new part! I returned the blender for a full refund.

Bought this blender new. Used it about 12 times before the motor burned up. I know its an inexpensive blender but it should have been
good for at least a couple of hundred runs. Motor probably made in China using the cheapest pot metal for motor casing and hair thick
copper wiring for binding and brushes. Good as a very cheap (Suzie Homemaker) blender if you are in a pinch and need a throw away unit or
if you need a quick gift to give somebody you hardly know and don't want to look like a cheapskate.

When it comes to my kitchen, I always make sure to invest in high quality appliances that will do their job and last a long time. The purchase of this blender, however, is an exception. The blender is plastic and not glass. Originally I thought that it did not matter, but the plastic quickly gets hazy. And by quickly I mean after using it twice. The blender does not lock onto the base, but rather sits there which is quite annoying. I also have a little bit of problem with leakage from the bottom which could be entirely my fault.

As a blender, it functions well. But if I could go back in time and buy a slightly pricier blender, I would.

I bought this blender 5 days ago, used it 3 times and it broke! NEVER again will I buy CHEAP home appliances. I don't like how the jar is plastic, it absorbs the smell of whatever you blend in it. YUCK. The metal part of the base that u put the bottom part of the jar on to blend, ground down so much that left shards of metal behind, and now it doesn't work to blend or grind ANYTHING! Because of this I had to throw out the fresh fruit I just bought. I'm going to go with a more costly brand and research this time before buying it.

I have bought over 20 of these blenders over the past 10 years or so to make salad dressing in my restaurant. They all lasted about a year under daily heavy use, which I was really happy with. Oster has now replaced the bottom screw cap of the jar with the flimsiest piece of plastic I have ever seen. I could literally break it into pieces with one hand. I broke the first one within two days. I got another blender locally just to get the bottom cap of the jar and it broke within one hour! I was in a real jam that day because we were open and there were customers flooding in the door, so I bought a third one at the local drug store and it broke too! This product is junk unless they switch back to a stronger cap. I hope they're happy with the 5 cents they save on each blender with the new parts.

I have ebeen using this product for last 9 years. I replaced motor 3 times. So one machine for 3 years in this price is not a bad deal. This time, I had chopper attachment and glass blender jar from previous one so I just needed motor. It's bit noisy but does a good job.

I bought this blender to replace a Sunbeam blender that we wore out. Turns out this is a much better product. I don't like the blnders with glass bowls - too heavy and drop them and you have a broken floor or counter tile. We make huge smoothies of frozen bananas & strawberries and raw apples and cooked oatmeal and flax seeds and cantaloupe and on and on and this blender does this very well. The blades are very sharp and cut the raw flax seeds to meal during the blending - which is great as the whole seeds don't digest very well. The bottom seal works very well and the whole thing is easy to clean. It's not real quiet - but it only runs a couple of minutes a day - so who cares. Recommended.
