I'm in the market for a new blender. I wanted something powerful enough to pulverize ice. Also, I wanted something I wouldn't have to turn off, stir, then turn back on to get the ice crushed and the smoothie, well, smooth.

This blender did not pulverize the ice, and after some constant on/off stirring, the smoothie finally got liquidized. However, the top remains did not get sucked to the bottom of the blender.

Honestly, I only used it for the one smoothie and I plan on returning it today. It may be great for other things, but for smoothies it is not.

Oster 6431 is good for SMALL amounts of frozen foodstuff...better for non-frozen.
I purchased this product from Walmart but loss the receipt so cannot bring it back. It does OK for the frozen foodstuff but you have to put it in in SMALL amounts at a time AND with liquids. Putting in too much frozen foodstuff at a time broke the drive. I used this product exclusively for frozen foodstuff and broke the "all-metal drive" tip three times. I use Gorilla Glue to put it back on. Boy that Gorilla Glue works! I am still able to use the Oster 6431, not because its a fine product but because Gorilla Glue is a fine product. Don't be fooled by the "all-metal drive" advertisement. Metal can mean just about anything...as in something soft like Aluminum. In this case the metal is thin and soft. Now if the advertisement says something like..."carbon steel" or "reinforced" then you may have something special there. I'll keep Gorilla gluing the Oster 6431 until it breaks beyond repair then I will invest in a blender with a bit more steel in its construction.

We had this blender 1 year. Only used to mix drinks on 3 succesful occasions. The 4th time we tried to use this blender it caught fire. We had to rush it outside only to watch it melt down. Please do not buy unless you want your house burnt down.
