After 2 weeks of minimal use, this piece of garbage literally broke apart at it's base. One would think with the name of Oster you would get something that lasts longer than Madonna's current affected accent, but this was not the case. Avoid my friends, avoid!

This blender only mixes the bottom two inches near the blade unless you're blending pure liquid. Therefore, it is useless for smoothies. Besides this, the bottom leaks. Overall, a very bad choice. I'm shopping for a different blender.

I had an old Oster that worked OK, and it worked for years. My primary use was frozen drinks.
I got one of these new 10 speeds that kicked ... the first time I used it. I was so pleased, I donated the old one to charity. The second time I used the new one it began to smell. The last time I used it, the blender stopped after 1 pitcher of drinks. I used crushed ice and very soft fuzzy navel mix. (This is after 1 month of light use. The next day it turned back on.) I asked a friend to borrow a blender and they brought over an even older Oster blender that worked just fine. And it fit with the new jar.
I wish I'd kept my old one.
I returned the new blender and am looking for a Waring.

If you wonder about why those "high end" mixers like Waring and Kitchenaid cost so much, look at where they were made (USA). The new Osters are imported.

Also, more Watts do not NECESSARILY translate to more blending power. Watts just refers to how much power the unit consumes. Starting torque would be more useful or more perhaps horsepower.
When making frozen drinks, getting started is the hardest part.

I have owned several different blenders, but never oster, I wanted one for frozen drinks, most I have don't crush ice good, this baby is GREAT, makes wonderful fabulous frozen drinks and all the other functions work as promised, has large plastic jar.

I have to echo what "A Kitchen & Housewares enthusiast" said. I had the same issues. This has got to be one of the worst blenders that Oster has ever made. My last Oster lasted 15 years, this one lasted 5 months.

Had blender for about a year and had trouble with it for day one. Just to make a shake, it would stall out and hum and smell like burning wires, finally would not work at all. Would leak even if half full. The drive shaft is small and flemsy, would work fine as long as the glass jar was not attached. Would advise anyone to stay away from Oster.

We registered and received this blender for a wedding gift. We didn't use it for about 5 months, then I made one protein shake. It began to vibrate excessively, the base got hot and it smelled as if it was burning. It stalls and does not differeniate between settings. Clearly, this problem is similiar to others which indicates a Oster manufacturing problem not simply an isolated incident. I will certainly exchange this blender for a different brand.

This blender is a real piece of junk. Bust after 6 months. Replaced the internal fuse. Blew it again. And again. Not worth the effort. Don't get this blender.

Blew out in 2 days. replaced the fuse blew out again and again. Threw it away.

I researched & compared with other mixers on line and I thought it might be really good with cheap price. But soon I found it has serious problems - it shakes and leaks. The bottom leaks (the blade & bottom jar don't fit 100% well that makes liquid leaks). I only used it twice and I don't think I can use it anymore.
