Mark Twain: Okay I tried 2 others that were highly reviewed before getting to this one. One cost $200. This blender is the absolutely best and most powerful blender on the market today. The problem with almost all new blenders is they have a hug wide base that causes it to take forever to blend. This gets smaller at the bottom and literally made a smoothy using frozen fruit in 1/6 the time the expensive one took. As I just got it I can not speak to longevity but frankly I dont care. It crushes ice and makes smoothies FAST.

AFJ: I had an older version of this for 15 years
I am not loving my new one quite as much
It doesn't seem to work through the frozen fruit as well as the older model
I still very much like the appearance and simplicity and it is good value for the price compared to similarly priced brands

Scarlette Ibis: I bought this Oster to replace my Black & Decker. (See other review) The only major upgrade is that the blade assembly is metal, so it won't crack and leak like other blenders in this price range. The collar on this one is still plastic, but upon actual inspection is far more heavy duty, and the design lends itself to longevity more so than the B&D. It has a tapered base like typical blenders, so while comparing some might fear it being top-heavy on the counter, but I prefer this to the flatter-bottomed pitchers because of the flow of ingredients into the blade. Flatter bottom=less natural flow downward and more stopping and scraping.

I'm not sure what some other reviewers are experiencing, but mine is no louder than normal - it's a blender; they aren't exactly quiet machines. Maybe this isn't in the parenting manuals, so I'll let you all in on a tip: don't put the baby down for a nap in the kitchen right before you're going to make your smoothy. Though, I suspect that some reviewers might have a faulty motor assembly, as when things start getting loose or aren't manufactured properly, the motor rubs and rattles and gets louder, so there's...

Jack A. Loganbill: I make and drink two 40 ounce raw green veggie-fruit smoothies each and every day (as posted on Youtube). We own a $400 Blendtec, and it does a wonderful job, replacing our previous generation VitaMix which only did a so-so job. The 600 watt, 6-cup Oster Beehive blender produces the same quality of smoothie as our Blendtec, in the same amount of time, and for only $60!!! Unbelievable!!!

If you are looking for an affordable smoothie-drink maker, I wholeheartedly recommend this Oster. It blends the ice, frozen fruit, veggies, and greens as well or better as our $400 unit. No issue with lack of power, burning motors, etc.

Other Oster Beehive benefits...you can purchase genuine replacement/additional containers in glass or stainless steel for $20 and plastic containers of all sizes for less than $10. Note that Vitamix and Blendtec containers run $150! And since the Oster blade and seal are easily removed and replaced, using, cleaning and maintaining the Oster is 100 times easier than its much more expensive counterparts. And though heavy, the glass container is just too cool. Over time, the plastic Blendtec and Vitamix containers show their age...not so...

M. Harty: I've had this blender for two years now, and I am very happy with the purchase. I waited 6 years looking for the perfect blender before I purchased this one. My prior department store blenders had all shirked at the effort of blending ice on a regular basis, and eventually turned into glorified ice crushers, but this little blender has been a faithful load beast and blends everything without complaint. It feels substantial and of good quality. The simple toggle switch is all that is necessary for blending everything from soups to smoothies. A mason jar fits well in place of the glass carafe, so I often use the blender to blend spices. It is a loud blender, but it is easy to clean, is powerful and works well, and is a stylish addition to my kitchen. In my opinion, it is an excellent blender, and when I wear mine out, I won't hesitate to purchase another.

October 2014: Four years and this blender is still going strong. My blade was getting dull, so I ordered another one for $7 from Amazon. The blender is now like new. It's still loud, so I keep a pair of earplugs nearby. Still a great blender for making my daily green smoothie.
