1.0 out of 5 stars
Coupler broke in less than 5 days, May 10, 2005
This review is from: Oster 4128 Contemporary Classic Beehive Blender, Polished Copper (Kitchen)
This blender looks beautiful, love the copper look.
It really fit well, with the things in my kitchen, and looked great.
In less than 5 days, the coupler that connected to the blade, sheared off.
It seems that it is held together by glue. My old Commercial blender has been in operation, for 10 years now, and still works - just a bit tired.
We ordered the Cuisinart Stainless 600 Watt blender, hope it works better, and lasts longer than this.
If you are interested in the copper model, look for the comments, under the chrome version. I missed the negative comments there, until I had the failure.

Beautiful Blender!, November 15, 2007
I bought this blender because of the copper. My kitchen is done with copper faucets, etc and it seems these days that everyone has a stainless steel obsession so it's so hard to find stuff that matches my kitchen. This looks so nice I keep it out on the counter rather than in the appliance cubby. It's no louder than my 13yr old Cuisanart was, and it works a LOT better. It chops up anything I throw in it incredibly quickly. This was worth every penny.

Worth every penny, March 22, 2007
This review is from: Oster 4128 Contemporary Classic Beehive Blender, Polished Copper (Kitchen)
This blender is the first which does everything the appliance is supposed to do. I have never placed much value in our previous blenders or smoothy makers. This blender has only an on/off/pulse switch, no integrated stir stick or any other special "features". Manufacturers apparently add these gimmicks to try to make you think their blender is better or more functional than the sorry one currently sitting on the counter.
This blender not only does the job, it is very fast and efficient. It turns 3/4 cup of solid ice cubes into snow with a single pulse. No beating, smacking or shaking needed. Ice cream shakes take less than a minute even with carmel or fudge added.
In just a few weeks we have gotten more value from this machine than any we have previously owned. If it burned up tomorrow, I would buy another. Excellent product. For me this product sets the standard for 5 star ratings.
