With this Oster blender you don’t have to sacrifice quality for simplicity.

The stainless steel “ice crusher” blade does just that so you get smooth frozen drinks every time. And 8 speeds and 450 watts give you the power to perform for every usage occasion from frozen beverages to dips, from sauces to smoothies, from soup to nuts. Like most Oster Blenders, it is made in North America and backed by the superior quality of All Metal Drive.

Oster Counterforms Blender – Stainless or Black

Brought to you by the #1 Blender brand. Beautiful form and incredible function. Forwards and backwards. Frozen fruit? Bring it on. Ice cubes? It’s got them down. The perfect pina colada? Consider it done. It looks pretty sharp on your counter top, too. The Oster Reverse Motor Blender is a true precision machine. The powerful 600-watt, reversing motor alternates the blades forward and backward, drawing food and ice down for consistently smooth blending, which means no more trying to scrape food from the blender with a spatula. A super sharp, 6-point star blade evenly chops food and creates a shaved ice blend in a matter of seconds. The lid is clear and features a 2-ounce measuring cup. Pre-programmed settings – including time and function – provide one touch operation, so you can let the blender do the thinking. Seven speeds and high and low pulse options give you amazingly precise control at the touch of a button. And Low, Medium and High manual settings provide even more options for blending a variety of food and beverages from frozen drinks to dips, sauces to smoothies, soup to nuts. The 6-cup, dishwasher-safe, glass pitcher makes blending better and pouring easier.

Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Silver

This is my third blender in the past 3 years. First one of this brand\model. I’ve owned this one for 2 years now. I make a smoothie every morning for breakfast. I don’t put ice in my smoothie, but I do use frozen fruit and this blender blends up my milk and protein powder and flax seed and fruit in just under 20 seconds. Sometimes less if I use small fruits like blueberries.

I really like this blender for the price and the quality of the components. It only has 3 settings. 1)off 2)regular on 3)high on. I only use the off and the regular on setting.

What I don’t like is washing it. Since I use this item daily, I like to just rinse it out and put the lid with the little top thingie in the top rack of the dishwasher and the pitcher with the glass, rubber seal, blade, and plastic bottom upside down on the lower rack of the dishwasher. Well if I don’t remove the pitcher as soon as the washer is finished, the parts start to rust. So now the metal part with the blade is rusting, since “rust never rests” right?

Now I can’t really complain. A blender with a metal gear and strong motor for under $60 (I paid around $56 at Target) is great. One of my previous blenders was a Cuisinart. I paid $99 for that one and the drive was plastic. It broke when I used frozen pineapple in a smoothie one morning. Big bummer.

For all the people whose blenders broke right away, I don’t know what to say. Maybe you overloaded the pitcher? I mean some things won’t blend. And if you have too many solids and not enough liquid, the blender can’t get everything to tumble properly in the pitcher – so not everything will make it down to the blade.

If you’re not sure if there’s enough liquid but you notice things aren’t moving around properly in the pitcher, open the lid just a bit and add a small amount of liquid (milk, water, booze, broth, depends on what you’re making) and if things start mixing properly, then that’s all the problem ever was. Not enough liquid.

I’d buy another one of these, and probably will have to since the bottom part is rusting because I’ve not taken good care of it. But for a daily use item, $56 for two years is quite a bargain in my opinion.
