Amazon.com Review
Offering 12 speeds and powered by a 450-watt motor, this blender stirs party dips, purées vegetables, creams butter, chops nuts, whips cream, mixes drinks, grates cheese, blends batters, shreds coconut, grinds coffee beans, liquefies soups, and crushes ice. For precise work there's a pulse button, and the "grate" button also functions as an "easy-clean" control for quickly cleansing the 40-ounce, scratch-resistant glass container with soap and water during multibatch work with the same food. (The container is also dishwasher-safe.) The blender's stainless-steel blade-assembly removes for cleaning. The container is calibrated in both ounces and liters, and its plastic lid contains a 2-ounce measuring insert. Fully assembled, the blender stands 13-3/4 inches high on a 7-inch-square base, which is clad in white plastic with a gray accent band and rubber feet. The blender carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not sure which blender the *other* reviewers were using....,
By
This review is from: Oster 6642 12-Speed Blender, White (Kitchen)
Alright, so this isn't the *best* blender in the world. Not even close. But it's cheap, it's rugged, and it works perfectly well at most tasks. It chops, blends, and mixes just fine (and says it can also "grate", "puree", "shred", "cream", "chop", "grind", "whip", and "liquefy"). I've never had any problems crushing ice or making frozen drinks with mine -- although I'll admit that it will get jammed on big chunks of ice (more of a problem with the pitcher than the blender, I think... it just can't chop them effectively if they're too big to fit between the blades and the edge of the pitcher, or if they get stuck there). It's also (as the first reviewer noticed) not great at making milkshakes, since it just thrashes the bottom of it like crazy instead of mixing it -- but I'll bet it works a lot better if you replace the blade with the "Milkshake Blade" accessory that it talks about in the owner's manual. Mine has easily survived several years of use and abuse, including having a metal utensil left in it when it was turned on (punched a hole in the pitcher, but the motor was fine). If you're looking for a cheap, reliable entry-level blender, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great blender, AMAZED at the many 1 stars not Osters fault!,
This review is from: Oster 6642 12-Speed Blender, White (Kitchen)
People who gave this blender 1 star, do you have any common sense? The paragraphs below address most if not all 1 star review issues:When you use the rubber gasket, you don't have to tighten the bottom to such an extreme that you crack it! Moderately tightening it is enough and it goes on the side of the blades not on the opposite side of the blades or else all the liquid will spill no matter how much you tighten it! ALL blenders are difficult to clean, not just this one since they're all made with blades, rubber gaskets and glass or plastic jars. You would have to write a bad review of all blenders since they're all made in the same hard to clean way! What you are smelling is not "burnt" smell it is probably the new smell of the motor along with the lubricant and it is not a strong smell at all. It goes away with time. Your saying you purchased another one and it had the same smell proves that it is normal. The motor needs to ventilate or it would burn out! When mine was new the smell was slight, not at all overwhelming. If this blenders motor "quit" on you it's probably because you're placing large amounts of hard food or lots of ice without liquid or dry foods without liquid in other words, you're immobilizing the blades. Its always best to first place liguid in the blender and start it, then cut small pieces of food and then throw them in gradually. I've had this blender for many years and have NO compalints but then again I realize its a blender not a magic wand! LOL!

Be sure to get the one with the glass blender jar!,

This review is from: Oster 6642 12-Speed Blender, White (Kitchen)
Before this one, I owned another Oster blender that had a plastic jar. It accidentally fell off the countertop and it cracked. The plastic jars also scratch easily and just aren't very durable!So be sure you get the glass jar. Also, having the extra-powerful motor is good too. I only use a couple of different speeds, so I don't think more speeds are important, however. This blender works well, however you do sometimes have to stick something in there to get the top of your concoction well-mixed in with the rest of it. But that's probably the case with most blenders. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because though the jar is dishwasher safe, you're still supposed to handwash the other parts. Blenders are great, but they're a pain to clean!
