I bought this at kmart the other day and the power on this thing is amazing. ice is virtually liquified in 10 seconds, perfect for creamy smoothies and slushies galore. The only problem i had is that sometimes i feel like the cup is just gonna fall off because it doesn't lock onto the base, and that the cup doesn't have the best shape for pouring. But it's plastic (big bonus, not heavy!) and surprisignly sutrdy. Oster is definitely the most trusted brand of blenders, and for this price this is a must buy.

I bought it a month ago, but already returned it.
There is a durability problem.
The spinning rod was easily broken with just several usages.
I don't recommend it at all.

I am extremely disappointed in the handling of this blender. The fact that the jar does not lock onto the base makes it a very scary operation. I feel as if we need to hold the unit to make sure it does not come apart during usage. We found we had to stop and remove the lid and mix the contents a number of times before everything was completely blended. You get what you pay for...

I've been limping along with this blender for a few months now. As others have noted, the jar doesn't lock to the base, which is more than annoying--though if I hold it there, it doesn't feel unsafe.

That said, while washing dishes today the jar (empty, disassembled) was gently knocked to the floor from the countertop--a distance of no more than 3.5 feet. Something about the way the jar hit the floor made it shatter into three pieces. The handle came completely off, leaving a jagged hole down the side of the plastic jar. I would think you'd need to smash the thing against the floor (or with hammer) for it to break like this. What's the point of plastic otherwise?

I got this blender as a wedding shower gift 5 years ago. I use it maybe 4 times a year at the most. Things that I have used it for in the past: ice crushing, frozen drinks, pureeing food for baby, and one recipe which consists of softened butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream and ripe bananas. The other day I was making said recipe and the blender wuold not puree anything. It then began smoking and stopped. I have NEVER had good results with this blender and would not recommend it to even the most occasional user.

I just purchased this blender. I am overrall happy with it. Except for two big major complaints, - FIRST THE JAR DOESN'T LOCK ONTO THE POWER BASE. I'm afraid one day it will just fall off the base while it's on and make a mess. Plus, that's dangerous. I guess you should be safe and hold the darn thing on while you're blending. I tried contacting the manufacturer but with no such help.

Second, the darn thing is loud. I've never had a blender of my own before, but I never remember them being this loud. I live in an apartment and I was afraid of waking my neighbors.

So, I would probably not recommend this model to anyone. Go for something else, I'm stuck with it.

The lid is not meant to be put in the dishwasher. I love this blender. Oster makes really great blenders at a low price. Their motors are strong and the blade is sharp enough to crush ice. The all-metal drive means that you don't have to worry about it breaking down any time soon. The plastic jar is better than the glass ones because they are lighter and won't shatter and break when you drop it since it's break-resistant.

This blender is not made very well and can only be used for very basic blending needs. The plastic jar is cheap and the lid warped in the top rack of the dishwasher. It also stains very easily. It gets a burnt smell when you try to push it a bit ..like making a smoothie or shake....it just can't take that kind of use.

I've had this blender for a couple of years. When I first received it as a gift I honestly thought it wouldn't work because the jar does not fix securely in place. But, it worked and it has been working great until I decided to put some hot liquid into it and I was holding the flimsy top with a pot holder when all of the sudden the filler cap falls into the blender and grinds up with every thing else. So, much for what I was blending, but now I can't use the stupid thing because I no longer have a lid with a cap. I wouldn't waste your money on this - buy something sturdier!!
