Good, basic blender gets the job done December 15, 2008
I almost didn't buy this blender because of the reviews that compared its motor noise to a jet engine.
There's no doubt that when you crank this thing up to its highest speed, it's loud. But on lower speeds, I find it very acceptable and comparable to any other blender I've owned. In my final analysis, blending is something you usually do for 30 seconds or less, so I can live with some noise if the blender works well, which this one does. It does a good job with frozen fruit for a smoothie, and purees soups beautifully.
After previously owning an Oster that I had to toss out because the plastic canister broke, and with all the bad news about plastics lately, I am very happy to have this entry level blender with a durable, GLASS canister.
I give it four stars because it's nothing fancy or beautiful, certainly no showpiece for a devoted foodie, but it's a work horse I expect to deliver years of reliable service.
Excellent for the price September 28, 2008
It's got plenty of power, allowing me to make delicious, refreshing, and healthy smoothies. It crushes ice and frozen strawberries easily and quickly. I got it for $35 from Amazon, so the quality/price ratio is very good.
That said, there are some drawbacks. The main one is that the lid is a bit leaky, so occasionally water or juice will squirt out. It's also very loud. And the cord is shorter than I would like it to be (about 2').
Excellent so far August 16, 2008

During the past few years, I have really grown to like banana milkshakes and was very disappointed when our old blender bit the dust. After spending a lot of time reading reviews on blenders, I was ready to buy a Waring blender for just under $[...]. The reviews were quite good, and they seem to last a long time. However, after spending a bit more time, I stumbled on this Osterizer for under $[...]. The ratings were all excellent, so I figured I could buy 2 or 3 if needed. It arrived quickly, and except for one issue, has been superb. I really like having 12 speeds - it turns out that the 2nd lowest works great for the banana milkshake (2 bananas and a bit of milk). At that speed it is much quieter than our prior blender. It has also worked well for my wife and daughter in making fresh fruit smoothies (really good). It sets up a great vortex. I didn't give it 5 stars because it has started making an odd noise at a higher speed. I am waiting to see if that ultimately leads to a problem or if I can just avoid that speed. Given that it is used every day and has been for 3 months, I am not too worried.
Not bad... August 14, 2008
Not a bad product; definitely a great deal for the $. It liquefies as I expected. Great for smoothies, margaritas, and other icy drinks; haven't used it for other purposes yet. Loud, but it is a blender afterall!

I used a Hamilton Beach for years, and when it finally gave out, I picked up this Oster. It's a little bit more powerful, and it works well. One tip: this blender needs to be at least a third full before you start blending, or it will vibrate. I'm used to adding items a bit at a time, but this blender works better if you load it up first. Fortunately, it blends well.
