I've had this blender approximately two months and have probably used it 10-15 times. The food processor is very cool in it's operation and the blender was impressive WHEN IT WORKED. This morning, with no indication of a problem previously, it would not turn on. I called customer service and went round and round with the rep because there is no model number on the unit! I now have to truck this thing 20 miles away to the nearest service center. I'm guessing I'll have to drive back to get the replacement. I would strongly recommend NOT purchasing this, unfortunately. Way too much money to spend on an appliance that dies after such a short amount of usage. I definitely regret this purchase and would not bother with the replacement if I had not paid so much for it.
UPDATE: I did bring the blender to a service center, who returned it to Oster for me, as it was still within the warranty. Note that it is now July 2nd, I returned this in early May, and I STILL do not have my replacement. I was promised that this would arrive in mid June. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. I have vowed to never purchase another Oster product again.

This thing is amazing! First of all it is the most powerful blender I have ever had the pleasure of using. It crushes ice so fine it would be used for snow cones. It makes the best smoothies, milk shakes or whatever the heck you are in the mood for. It's easy to clean. It is kinda noisy but that's something you have GOT to expect for ALL the power you are getting in this bad boy. The food processor is also really great. We use it just as much as the blender. I do wish it was glass like the blender container is so that's why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that WE LOVE IT!

UPDATE- Over a year later and this thing is still the best blender/food processor we've ever had. Haven't had ANY problems with it whatsoever!

Another UPDATE- Have this blender a lot longer than a year and it still works great, we use a few times a week (both the food processor & the blender) and haven't any problems whatsoever! Love it!

Bottom line: We bought it. Loved it. Used it once a day on juice and fruit smoothies (nothing to harsh). Motor burned out in less than four months and we've been able to get no help from the Oster people. It's now a $90 paper weight. Buyer beware.

Hi: Well I have an Oster that I have used for maybe 15 or more years and it still works. I wanted less appliances so I got the Fusion as it has a Food Processor Attachment, which works very well and I have given away the Cuisenart. The Blender part I use everyday for a protein drink. It really does the job as it goes in one direction and then the other and gets the frozen stuff down. The only down side is it is a little difficult to get the glass blender part to fit into the unit. But outside of that it's been a great tool. I use the other one for making paper. Rose Germaine

I thought I'd spend a little extra and get something nice. I loved this unit when I bought it. It worked great for about a month, then died. It just won't power up. Unfortunatly, I didn't keep the box or the receipt. Oh well, live and learn. My recommendation - DO NOT BUY!!

Machine does everything they say and more BUT replacement parts are hard to come by. Oster/Sunbeam Customer Service center is NOT helpful. We got the Oster Fusion with the food processor attachments but the blade for shredding is missing and the company has not been helpful at all. There has been no response whatsoever from the company after NUMEROUS attempts at contacting them. The machine totally died after about three months of less then average use.
There are cheaper models that work almost as well but this is mighty powerful it just sucks that we are missing a vital part of the machine and it is a heck of a lot easier to grate cheese with that missing part and if the machine still worked and the warranty was honored. Save your money and buy a better model.

I've had it for one month and have used it 3 times. Blender worked great for the three times. The fourth times I used it with no indication of a problem previously, it would not turn on. This is very sad, to have a blender only work three times and quit. I returned it back to the store.

I had an Oster beehive I used most every day for 4 years or more. When it came time to replace, and as I had such great experience with the beehive, I decided to "upgrade" to the Oster Fusion. I loved the unit until it quit working within a year of daily use. Since I use it everyday for smoothies, I then decided to buy the best and got a Vita-mix which I've only had a few weeks. So far so good and it has a very long warranty, I think 5 years.

I purchased one in June 2007. By November it quit working; it would just not turn on. I complained violently to Oster and they sent me a replacement unit and by April that unit crapped out with the same problem. I have had several Oster blenders over the years and they all have failed prematurely. Their quality is horrible and they obviously don't care. I am sick of filling up my blender with ingredients just to turn it on to find out it won't work.

Yea, this model was OK while it was working, but it is not worth the hassle.

DO NOT BUY THIS BLENDER!

I used it mainly for margaritas and other frozen drinks. This thing crushes ice nicely.

As other reviews have said, this thing doesn't last very long. Mine lasted about a year being used maybe once or twice a month.
