Amazon.com Review
Offering 12 speeds and powered by a 450-watt motor, this blender stirs party dips, purees 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

 They don't make them like they used to December 29, 2006

My Mother had an Oster blender from the 1970's for over 30 years and it worked great until the last few years. So I went and bought her a new one but it was terrible and had an awful burning smell. So I thought there was a defect just in that particular blender, and I returned it and foolishly got another one. The new one is just as bad and since I bought it at Filene's (which closed) I can't even return it. I bought a KitchenAid recently and even though it was $100.00 it was worth every penny. It's wonderful! I will never buy another Oster product again. I was so disappointed. I don't understand what happened to the quality of their product and it's interesting that other people have had the same experiences.
 Not terrible - just not that very good November 27, 2006

Doesn't crush ice too well. Leaves small chunks. Stuff on the top doesn't make it down to the blade. I got this thing to make stuff like frozen margaitas, but it just doesn't blend the ice and the mix and alcohol into a smooth drink. I predict the item will hit the garbage when I find one to take it's place. I think I will give Hamelton Beach a try.
Forget about this one. Not worth it regardless of price. Very disappointed.

2 stars because it did crush ice, and because the store where I bought it let me bring it back, so I'm not bitter.
however:
-after the first use, the motor smelled like burned rubber
-the glass jar doesn't lock or snugly "fit" in the casing when you use the blender - it just sort of sits there flimsily
-all those buttons - does anyone know what all of these subjective sounding functions mean, or how many of them - "mix" vs. "blend," "liquefy" vs. "purefy," - even differ from one another?
Keep your 12 buttons and give me an old-fashioned, 1 or 2 speed, solid kitchen appliance.

Don't waste your money!!!!Oster is junk.........
I have owned a vintage Oyster 10 Speed from the 1970s. I had used at least 4 times a week for 25 some years. What a great blender it was. It had finally died 4 months ago. Since then I have had 4 OYSTER blends. I tried 2 14 speeds- 2 12 speeds. Each one of them the motors smoked and quit. WHAT A PIECE of crap oyster is making.I thought after 25 years they would have made them better! NOT!!!!!!!!. I make a smoothie just about every morning with bananas, a few frozen strawberries and yogurt. It can not handle that. So today I went garage saleing and found a vintage OYSTER blender for $2.00. Works great. Im sure it will last longer that any new one I bought. I will be looking for more antiquers for backups.
DEAR OYSTER COMANY: You have just lost a customer. No more products I will buy from you. You better go back to making them the way YOU USE to-because I will not keep buying.
 Be sure to get the one with the glass blender jar! June 24, 2002

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!
