Oster - 10-Speed Blender - Black

I bought this blender on sale because of the affordable price but had reservations due to reading previous buyers reviews. I also experienced the "burning rubber" smell for the first three weeks and was about to return it when the smell went away. I wouldn't recommend this blender for the family due to it's unstable nature. If you don't hold onto the base and top while engaged this blender will topple over and cause serious damage to your kitchen. It does do a fairly good job though of grinding and blending so that is why I plan on keeping it but as security I also bought the BB warranty in case this baby breaks down.

It's certainly no expensive, destroy a broomstick high dollar blender, but it does get the job done pretty well. The blades are strong and it comes apart easily for cleaning. It suctions to the counter as well and has a lot of nice settings. My favorite thing to recreate are frappes, and I'll tell you I won't buy from a restaurant again, it does that very well, if not better. So I save a few bucks there as well, thank you Oster! You have to get used to the settings a little, but with a little patience and experimenting, this blender can do most of what 100 dollar blenders can do. Definitely a must have on a conservative budget.

I bought this mid Jan and really liked it. But after barely a month a crack had developed in the side. I used it according to the directions and not sure what happened. I used it to chop ice and I am not sure if that did it. With a ice chopper setting you would think that would not crack the container, but who knows. Very disappointed and am going to try to return it to Best Buy. I believed in it enough not to save any packaging or receipt. Fortunately it is on my Best Buy profile so I have proof of purchase. I may call customer service for Oster too - if my review does not spark a response or if Best Buy will not let me return it. Very disappointed!!!

A complete waste of your money. First off, it had the constant smell of something electrical burning. The smell filled the kitchen and front room. Second, while it was running, it was not only loud, but did a lousy job of actually blending anything. Third, the motor must not be balanced, as the unit started walking itself across the counter. Fourth, since the lid was made of very thin, flexible rubber - it actually popped off from the motor's vibration. DO NOT spend your hard earned money on this - no matter how great the sale price.

I love this blender. Had one that I purchased many years ago that I neede to replace. I use my blender almost every day to make frozen strawberry smoothies and this one is wonderful. It actually is the exact same one I had from years ago and I was thrilled when I put the model # in the computer and it came up available at Best Buy. I ordered it with store pick up and had it the same day. Wonderful !! I now have a great blender and 2 glass pitchers for it because I had the one from my old blender. I am very Happy with this blender.

So far I'm happy with my blender. I didn't need anything professional like a Ninja blender; I just wanted one that would allow me to make simple sauces for the meals I prepare and this one does the trick. And also, it was super cheap. I saw lots of complaints that it's terrible when it comes to crushing ice but I haven't tried it myself (it's not a thing I need/do at all). For this reason, if you plan to use it for sauces, I would highly recommend it.

This blender does the job however I saw it at Target for $10 cheaper. Luckily I bought the best buy warranty for $5 because the plastic broke after a few days so I plan to return it and get a new one. Over all no major complaints and was my own fault I didn't read the box well enough to notice it wasn't made of glass. It was much cheaper at Target but due to the best buy warranty covering anything and the fact that it broke already I'm happy I bought it at Best Buy so I can return for a new one.

Well my mom and dad have had this blender for 10+ years and it's just now started to burn up. It crushes ice great, mixes great smoothies, even when you put whole fruit in!! I love it and I love mixing with it. It's just now starting to burn it because we use it so often and that's because mom used the fire out of it and I love it to make smoothies etc. It's a durable blender, as a matter of fact I'm buying another one for her this Christmas to replace this one!!!
